NBA shares some anti-tanking concepts with owners, AP sources say

The NBA's process of finding new ways to deter teams from tanking is currently focused around three separate concepts to change the draft lottery, two people with knowledge of the discussions surrounding the issue told The Associated Press on Friday. The concepts — they are not yet finalized proposals — were presented to the league's board of governors by NBA executives earlier this week, the people said. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday he expects a special meeting of owners to take place in May to vote on changes to the lottery, vowing that the league would fix the tanking issue.
