Had a dream about the draft lottery and I want to share the dream with you guys. So the lottery is held for all teams out of the playoffs. It's held with whatever odds they have (maybe change it so that the worst team actually gets a good player).
The idea: If a team "wins" a position in the lottery, say jumps from 6th to 2nd, thereby gaining 4 positions, they have the option to stay at the position they were at drafting 6th OR they could give away 4 2nd round draft picks the following years. They could also have the option to change all but one of the 2nd round picks to lower picks but the amount of picks increases. So instead of giving away 4 2nd round picks (2020 2021 2022 2023), you have to give for example; at least one 2nd round pick(2020), two 3rd round picks(2020,2021), three 4th round picks(2020,2021,2022), four 5th round picks(2020,2021,2022,2023). The team that "loses" the lottery swaps positions with the team that won in the lottery. If you jump up more that 7 positions the cost to move up is doubled.
This way the "loser" of the lottery still gets a decent prospect at 6 overall and a flurry of later round picks if the team that "won" chooses to jump up.
Do you see what I'm getting at? If they insist of having the lottery it could be a bit more fair to the bottom team. just a thought.
