With rumors that the NBA is considering drastic moves to curb tanking, many see it as a response to the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs lucked into a potentially generational run of lottery talent, selecting Victor Wembanyama first overall in 2023, Stephon Castle fourth in 2024, and Dylan Harper second in 2025.
That could set San Antonio up for the next decade while also leading to a major rule change. The proposed change would prevent teams from drafting in the top four back-to-back seasons, an outrageously dumb rule that would do far more harm than good.
