I don't believe it's happening. But I also don't like the fact that there's an incentive to tank.

The principle of giving the first draft picks to the bottom teams is right, and it's given us a great, relatively even competition. But it's got to be changed.

Here's my suggestion. Apologies if it's been suggested before by anyone.

At the end of the year, the ladder should be divided up into 4 groups of 4 teams.

The bottom four get the first four draft picks, but the exact order should be decided by lottery.

Ditto the next four up the ladder, and so on.

The weakest teams get assistance, but the incentive to lose games to end up below another team is either eliminated, or severely reduced.

What do people think?
