Sorry for repeating Henry Abbott's post (you should be reading that anyway), but this idea on how to make the lottery fair from John Hollinger deserves consideration for the Nobel Prize. It's simple: base draft order on the standings as of March 15 (for teams that don't make the playoffs). Far too simple and common-sense to ever be accepted.
BTW, I loved John when he was a correspondent for the Daily Show. I hope he comes back now that his sitcom failed.

Fixing the lottery? I can't remember the last time the 1, 2 and 3 worst teams got hosed so badly. If the lottery was so imperfect the it allowed poor teams to tank the season so they could get the cream of the crop, they certainly wouldn't let them slip to 4, 5 & 6th place. Let this be a lesson to all those crappy teams out there: tank the end of the season and get the 6th pick in the draft!
