NBA CRISIS: The Solutions to Tanking Don't Solve the Real Issue

The NBA's tanking problem takes center stage as various proposed fixes are debated, with implications for the Dallas Mavericks, Mavs fans, Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and NBA draft reform. From lottery odds, draft protections, and abolishing the draft, to the impact of flattened lottery odds, the discussion explores how these changes would affect NBA parity and player movement. Nick Angstadt, Isaac Harris, and Slightly Biased break down the NBA's tanking proposals and their impact on the Dallas Mavericks, other small market teams, and the NBA's future. The episode covers players and teams like Cooper Flagg, Luka Doncic, the Mavs, Klay Thompson, Dereck Lively II, and the Sacramento Kings, while also referencing figures like Mark Cuban and Jason Kidd. Hear in-depth insights about the NBA Draft, tanking strategies, and the effect on franchise building, featuring opinions on young prospects and the evolution of NBA competition. 0:00 NBA Tanking Crisis & Fixes 6:27 Golden Plan & Entertainment Solutions 18:19 Abolishing Draft Debate 42:33 Mavs NBA Draft Targets TEXT LINE: Support the show and get texts on every Mavs Rumor, News, Game Previews, Discord Access, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonmavs 📲 TEXT: 214-643-8637 Everydayer Club - Join the Locked On Everydayer Club and get ad-free audio, access to our members-only Discord, and more — all built for our most loyal fans. 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/ Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-mavericks/ 🎧 Apple https://buff.ly/2nE23zM 🎧 Spotify https://buff.ly/2D9kZgK 🎧 YouTube Music https://buff.ly/3LCb3gh 🎧 Pocket Casts https://pca.st/bPVO 🎧 Overcast https://buff.ly/34r6SOi 🎧 Castbox https://buff.ly/4bAM0EL 🎧 Audible https://buff.ly/3SjqZZm 🎧 Audacy https://bit.ly/2SydQib Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba 📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Twitter - https://twitter.com/LockedOnMavs 📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lockedonmavs 📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonmavericks 📲 Isaac Harris Twitter https://twitter.com/IsaacLHarris 📲 Isaac Harris Instagram https://www.instagram.com/isaaclharris/ 📲 Nick Angstadt Twitter https://twitter.com/NickVanExit 📲 Nick Angstadt TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@nickvanexit 📲 Nick Angstadt Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nickvanexit 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Turbo TaxFor a limited time, you can have your taxes done by a local TurboTax expert for just $150 — all in, if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year.
