the rewards for the teams at the top include a shot at the championship, which is what every team is going for. draft picks are nice, but a championship is a lot better.

I understand, but only 1/16 teams can make that position. In the middle of season you might notice that your team is not eligible for that? Why not then make some tactics for next season?

Teams don't usually start throwing games until the end of the season. towards the middle of the season you should be able to make some tactics in order to put your team in position to make a playoff push. obviously in BB you don't want to be automatically relegated so you need to be careful if you want a good draft pick.

Maybe they should just introduce the lottery.

Financially it's dumb to tank more than a game, maybe two at the most, since the heavy fan mood penalties really put a damper on your finances.

I disagree. 5th is the best position if you aren't going to make the playoffs. That's because 6-8 can all get relegated which sucks even though they may have a high pick, they won't need it playing against a lower tier of competition. Not to mention, you will probably have a greater fan base and stability if you are in 5th as opposed to 6-8.

No, not really. Only 1 of the 6-7 ranked teams will relegate.

Plus, the you don't draft to strengthen your team, not in the short run at least. As a matter of fact, if you keep the pick you will likely weaken your team by having to play him.

True. Though the question boils down to how much superior (or inferior) you are to the other play-out team. With tournament PIC and MOTS, there isn't much of a surprise factor there.

Not necessarily true. I had the #1 pick, sold last year's backup SG for decent money, and even though my rookie hasn't caught up in shooting, he's alot more balanced than the pure shooter I had last season. The frustrating part is that the #2 pick ended up being better, averaging 20+ ppg as a starter and having the exact same potential with twice the dmi(they're both proficient gameshape).

If your draft pick is an upgrade over one of your players and your team is more than 2 seasons old, you have a problem.
