Don't know what they seek to accomplish with this move. If they believe that this will stop "the tank" being employed by MANY they're fools

Didn't catch the part about resting healthy players. Apparently the sponsors have spoken

Like the even odds for the 3 worst teams.

Resting policy is good as well.

"In situations when teams decide to rest healthy players, the players should be visible and available to interact with fans."

Player resting fines are going to START at $100,000?

Yep. I'm wondering how they are going to police that. I think teams will simply come up with phantom injuries. If anyone can apply pressure it's the sponsors.

The anti Tanking rule won't have much impact. Teams will scramble to get in the bottom 3 in wins. Problem solved. They need to give all non playoff teams the opportunity to acquire the first pick. Each team should be placed wherever the ping pong ball slots them. Each team should be allowed one ping pong ball also.

Give all 14 teams the same odds for every pick. That would make the lottery fun.

Why not just make it every team? Screw parity

I would make all the lottery teams play in a tournament to decide draft order.

I am not sure how closely they can prevent the resting. Maybe the new scheduling I heard about will also prevent that anyway though? I think one thing easily gone now right off the bat is the left a resting player home. Want to rest Lebron against Utah? Ok, but he flies out to sit on the bench and "interact".

Coaches should be allowed to rest whoever they want whenever they want. They should defy the rules and have the team pay the fines.

That is ok. Make the player go to the game for pr purposes though.

Very original idea, DoucheSimmons

The lottery system itself is stupid, if the idea is to maximize the aid given to bad teams by the welfare system that is the draft. All it does is increase the likelihood that your league's worst teams won't be receiving the top-flight talent entering the league.
