In response to a gambling scandal involving insider information, the NBA is exploring measures to curb tanking by preventing teams from manipulating rosters to improve Draft Lottery odds. Ideas discussed at a recent Board of Governors meeting include limiting pick protections, barring consecutive top-four draft selections, and locking lottery positions after March 1. The league aims to address issues highlighted by teams like Dallas and San Antonio, while ensuring competitive integrity following previous rule amendments aimed at reducing tanking. Additionally, new injury reporting rules have been implemented to mitigate further insider betting opportunities.
