I didn't see a player who had been worth X in the NBA got five times his value on another team.


the salary stay the same ;) And NBA players don't progress with that speed, but franchise also measure talent versus skill differently.
I didn't said that the price is fixed.
I said that there is a not that wide range of value between clubs for the same player.
This was also what I've suggested here.

So what you are saying is. You can pick that best player (without spending on draft) over a guy (who is spending money on draft) 99%?, 75%?, 50%, 25%, 10%, 1% of a time. What is your educated guess? Is this really a problem. In what league has this happened? How often has this happened?
I would say a player investing about 140k in draft will pick a better player 99% of the time, even if he is picking second, after the blind drafter.
Who says that in the NBA each team invest the same on draft?
Why being last should be automatically rewarded? This is just encouraging to tank on several occasions (when you cannot take your league...).

I think that the bb draft is about luck because you can choose a SG 5 star evaluation and 5 star potential, and you discover that he has respectable in JS, JR, DR and HN, but 1 or 2 in OD.
So you had spend your money for what?
In my experience it's the truth that who spend choose better, 80% (or more) of draft is about luck.
I chose my best draft players when I haven't spent money

As I wrote - this is not exactly luck.
It is bad assessment of player qualities - like what happened for Portland when choosing Oden over Durant.

In any case you wouldn't want this game to be pure luck game. don't you?
You wouldn't want the games to be decided by a flip of a coin.

And you surely don't want the game to be fulled with "tankers".
Usually there are maybe 4 out of 16 teams that has chance to be promoted.
Would you like that they will be the only users to actually put their effort and all the others just to tank all season long?
This is an extreme situation of what is currently happening on the BB leagues.

I haven't understood what you mean.
My proposal is to add tax on 18 years old players sale.
The situation that you talk about is to another proposal, to increase skills of drafted players, but it's not my proposal
