WFAN Adam Silver on tanking reforms My sense is we may be looking at something thats not frankly a forever solution

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

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

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

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 We've been addressing load management over the last several seasons Were down 30 this season in terms of single game absences by star players Its not even clear that load management works We have more injuries at the beginning and after All-Star break than late in the season

Adam Silver on the President He was a fixture at Madison Square Gardenhe had court-side seats here all the time He was at drafts He's a genuine Knicks fan We should be using sports to create more of a sense of community not less
