Kevin O'Connor Potential changes to the NBA Draft that have generated interest at the ownership level include limiting protections after the top 4 amp freezing the lottery standings on an early date mid-year Nothing is set in stone but changes to limit tanking is a key discussion point

Givony This draft isn't as deep or historic as some have made it out to be And NIL could do a real number on the back half of the first round with the NCAA withdrawal deadline coming up May 27

Adam Silver In terms of tanking theres no question that what we saw this season was unprecedented Fans in particular cities and even media were rooting for their teams to tank We had to respond not just to the narrative but to misalignment of incentives once it was an accepted practice

Presti on lottery reform Good short term solve but hopes NBA will eventually move away from a luck based solution Hopefully we can get to a point where we have a system that isn't tied to record entirely Said he prefers a complex predictable system to a simple unpredictable one

Adam Silver on flopping We're going to look in the offseason We have a 2 day competition committee meeting in Vegas around the summer league will watch 1000 plays literally over 2 days and see if we should set that line in a different place but I think we have made a lot of progress there

Sam Presti explains why he supports the anti-tank rules put forth by Adam SilverHe thinks it is a good thing it is only for 3 years as it makes it possible to go back from it if it doesn't work not remaining in the box
