The NBA's newly proposed "3-2-1" draft lottery reform, unveiled to GMs in the past 48 hours per ESPN and The Athletic reports, has fueled trader consensus to an 82% implied probability for rule changes. Designed to combat tanking amid dismal bottom-team records—like the Wizards, Nets, and Pacers—the system expands the lottery to 16 teams, flattens odds with bottom-three squads receiving just two balls each (versus three for others), and bars consecutive No. 1 picks or three straight top-5 selections. Commissioner Adam Silver's anti-tanking push gains momentum ahead of a potential Board of Governors vote, reflecting frustration with perennial lottery manipulation despite prior 2019 reforms.
