Ep. 425 (5/30/26): 2026 NBA Mock Draft 1.0 Predictions, Thoughts on the NBA's New Anti-Tanking System

Episode 425

After that, he explains the NBA's new anti-tanking system, which was recently passed by the NBA's Board of Governors. During this segment, Joey outlines what this new policy will mean for teams in the bottom of the NBA's standings and how it will impact the value of draft picks with more uncertainty around where the lottery balls will fall. Although it is a harsh and aggressive approach to addressing tanking, Joey highlights the fact that the NBA had to do something to prevent teams from openly tanking, after 10 teams finished the 2025-26 regular season with a win percentage below .400.
