The fix is actually super easy: no more communism.

Just flip the draft order so the Champion gets the first pick, the runner up gets the second pick, and so on.

If there’s no incentive for losing then no one will do it on purpose.

I would flip the order for non playoff teams, #11 pick one

You can't give the best prospects to the champs

Want to end Communism, end the draft, kids enter as free agents and you buy them, like in the beautiful game

My only objection to ending the draft is that it’s good entertainment

reply

Make the signing reveals in a TV show, teams send closed envelopes with there bids and it's all decided live, pure entertainment

An auction would be more interesting than a draft

reply

The idea all the teams that have cap space are allowed to participate, the league select's the 60 best prospects, closed bids revealed, from the cheapest to highest. Would actually make teams respect the cap and be more "fair"

reply

The cap space angle is the fix.

Most of the top teams are generally going to be out because they went all in on chasing the title.

And you could have refreshing free balance to next signing live in the broadcast, helping plebs get better at math, serves a social purpose in a capitalist way 😂

reply

Plebs on the bleachers shouting CHEAP for the GMs would be awesome

reply

heh that was my first thought too. or simply randomize the draft order.

one thing to keep in mind is that you'll still get bad teams getting more picks because they'll likely trade away good players now for contending teams' future picks

reply

Randomizer would be a blast for conspiracy foes 😅😂🤣

reply

it's win win win

gives the league plausible deniability to rig the draft however they want

gives the media something to talk about endlessly

gives fans something to blame for why their team sucks, and doesn't make them stop watching anyway

reply

That’s fine. The result will be better good teams, which means better playoff series.

And you could do the snake by the end of first round, this way bad teams could get pick 30-31 and start creating the pillars to move up
