BuzzerBeater Forums

It will be awesome when a team will get to be 5th place, make some money by not paying salaries AND he gets the No.1 pick....

What did David Stern and he NBA thought about when they added the Lotery? Why didn't they spoke with you?

Yes, it will be better, as this will make teams to stop losing games on purpose.

I didn't know that David Stern ran an internet basketball league. The NBA is set up nothing like buzzerbeater... but the lottery idea is not so bad but only if you don't include the 5th seed and do the lottery between the 6th, 7th and 8th seeded teams and let the other teams go after them according to their finish.

imho we shoudl group then like the nba, in lotterys:

betwen both 8th placed teams

betwen 7 or 7 and 6

betwen 5th

and then the PO group, as 4 vs 4 or all together.

Besides the NBA, every place in BB gives you a different result in the end of the season. While the NBA have a lot of team, who literally play for the goldenpineapple and get punish for succes thorough the draft. And betwen those team the lottery get involved, that the punishment through winning isn't so big, but it is still desireable to finish "bad".

I like the idea of No.1 pick goping to demoting team only a lot. Tiers are a good suggestion but I think actual place in a divison shouldn'tl always matter more than a record - differnece between 7th and 8th pick can be as little as more point scored (with the same gap in score) and in such cases I think both those teams should have a shot at the the same pick assuming 7th team would lost its relegation series.

One thing providing food for thought ias whether play off teams should have always worse pick than non-play off teams as there is a strong feeling 5th place is somewhat mroe advanatageous than first round exit play off spot. And there always be some debate about such things no matter whether it is 6th bein better than 5th place, 5th place better than 4th (which some think is like that now) or something else. As conferences could be very unbalanced it is not out of question to go with records instead of place. 5th team in one conference could be much stronger than play off team in the other abut can be weaker than 8th team from the other conference. This, i.e. every division is different (and that's ot even mentioning leagues with bots), makes any lottery system ahrd to design while not making things worse for some people (if not generally). Scouting investments are easy to decide currently when you more or les know where you land, could bring a lto of confusion and questions on help forums if it gets trickier. And at the end some teams may count with some draft now year in their longterm strategy, possibly even saving points from previous years, there shouldn't be a sudden change that would screw them over.

"Supprisingly", Coolbobj is last and has "no" interest to be against this suggestion.

surprinsingly, you have no other arguments. With this logic, your opinion can not be trusted too. And don't you think is it a bt early to say coolby will be last at the end of the season, or more important in the majority of the next seasons when this change maybe reality?

Your argumentation is very poor, especially when you use this arguments. So i hope you can change this kind of argumentation, who is more offensiv then arguing.

I'm using the same level of offence as the level of offence I get from the one I am attacking.

This was not an argument for this suggestions [I gave enough for that], but an explanation for Coolbobj strong objection and attack.

In addition, you had been the one who find it related to his objection. I just brought the information about is place and is objection, and left the readers to decide by themselves.

no not a tiny bit, when you read my post you know why it is stupid, to say the standing after 2 games count, and even when it counts it have no meaning for this suggestion cause it will never get implemented this season.

so it was a offense, right? So let it be in future.

could we just ban him for hi-jacking threads and turning them into tiring nonsense? Seriously.

Let's get back to discussing the topic.

lol dude, I'm not tanking to be last place, it's just that I'm terrible...
