The NBA tanking problem may have reached a breaking point — and now the league is reportedly considering its most drastic solution yet: eliminating the draft entirely.

In Hour 2 of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew dives into Adam Silver’s comments about exploring “every possible remedy” to stop tanking — including a free-agency style system for incoming rookies.

021726 JGC Hour 2

Yes, you read that right.

🏀 Should the NBA Scrap the Draft?

The debate explodes quickly.

If rookies could choose where they go:

Would small markets like Milwaukee suffer?

Would the Lakers, Knicks, and Heat hoard talent?

Would tanking finally disappear?

Gabe argues owners would never allow it.

Chewy questions whether Green Bay-style markets would lose out.

Josh suggests the league’s waning interest is forcing radical thinking.

The bigger theme:

Is tanking just smart strategy — or is it eroding the product?

🏈 NFL Hypocrisy & Ownership Sensitivity

The conversation spills into the NFL, where the league recently blocked public release of NFLPA team report cards.

The irony isn’t lost:

Owners hate being graded.

But players are constantly evaluated.

Is eliminating the draft about fairness — or about control?
