I disagree, Tony. I think of it as a necessary evil due to what franchises have done in the past.
I'm sick of teams with less than 1% of a shot at the first pick overall get the prize jewel of the draft class. San Antonio stealing Tim Duncan during the only season Robinson was hurt changed the NBA for the next 15 years. If Penny Hardaway stayed healthy and Shaq stayed in Orlando,they threatened to do the same. I just hope it doesn't happen again anytime soon.
I'm sick of teams losing on purpose at the end of the season to get a better draft position. I can tolerate a team rebuilding by trading away veterans... but to bench perfectly healthy players is an injustice toward the fans. Luckily, it has been happening less and less the past three years.
