Quote:No it wouldn't. One of the proposed changes would be that the bottom 5/6 in the league would all have the same shot in the lottery to get #1. This would hurt Philly, and they have been fighting changes since Silver announced he wanted to do so.


They're in year two of what's expected to be about a 4-5 year rebuild.

After this year, Philly will have the pieces it'll want for it's future. They aren't going to be bad enough 2-3 years from now where they will be the clear cut worst team in the league record wise (unless all these guys flop). They may still be top 10 bad, but that would be good for them in that new proposed lottery.


Plus, it's only a matter of time imo until Hinkie uses all these assets he's gotten since he's been here to trade for a superstar to speed up the process. Like he saw Morey do for Harden when he was in Houston.
