Transcript excerpt

Hold on a second. So you're asking me how we can get rid of tanking forever and improve the draft lottery? Alright. How about this? Let's make it even worse. Let's take tier three worst teams in the league and give them no chance at getting good. Just put them in purgatory. So you're saying we make this simple and just replicate what the NFL does, Yeah, I'm not buying that. Hold on, why don't you buy tier for a second? What if we added another tournament?
