NBA plans to enact anti-tanking rules next season, sources say (www.espn.com)

these concepts have been discussed to curb tanking:

First-round draft picks can be protected only for top-four or top-14-plus selections

Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date

No longer allowing a team to pick in the top four in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-three finishes

Teams can't pick in the top four the year after making the conference finals

Lottery odds allocated based on two-year records

Lottery extended to include all play-in teams

Flatten odds for all lottery teams

I don't expect it to be flat, but if they'll make the slope flatter, I think that's reasonable. Taking this along with making lottery odds based on 2 years record will make it fair, giving poor teams a chance to still have a better chance vs like a Dallas. I also like limiting teams top picks in consecutive years. Spurs were tanking for years and now they got a juggernaut, another dynasty out of nowhere.
