In the fierce arena of the NBA, in addition to the wonderful performance of the players, the lottery draw has also become one of the hot topics among fans. However, there are some unspoken rules behind the facts. Although it cannot be asserted that it is a full control, the reward and punishment mechanism to some extent is quite common.
After Adam Shaw took office, NBA management was questioned for some initiatives, but his series of reforms have dealt a powerful blow to the phenomenon of deliberate sloppiness and given fans more confidence.
The results of the latest round of lotto draws caused another uproar. The Eagles came as a surprise by a narrow 3% chance of winning the jackpot. The Wizards, who have the second-to-last record, unexpectedly drew the pick, and the Rockets jumped from the original 9th pick to the pick. Such a result raises questions about whether there is some degree of interference in the lotto draw.
It seems that Adam Shaw's policy is to reward teams that are still going all out to win despite their overall strength. In the case of the Rockets, although they are 11th in the West, their performance has improved significantly compared to previous seasons. Especially after winning 11 in a row in March, the Rockets' performance is even more impressive. Their hard work has finally paid off, and even in a small year of the draft, getting the pick gives them more options.
In contrast, some teams seem to have been punished. For example, the Detroit Pistons, whose long-term sluggish performance seems to have given the league a warning. While the Rockets have improved their performance since last year, the Pistons haven't changed their approach and ended up with a sluggish record, earning only the fifth pick for the second year in a row.
A similar situation has occurred with the Portland Trail Blazers. After seeing off Damian Lillard, they entered a period of rebuilding. However, their bad behavior was too obvious, and in the end, they only got the seventh pick. Such an outcome seems to hint at the Alliance's attitude towards bad behavior.
