The NBA has a tanking problem…and fines clearly aren’t fixing it. In this video, I break down why tanking continues to hurt fans, damage competitive integrity, and weaken the NBA product — and I present a bold, controversial solution:

👉 If a team is caught tanking…they lose their first-round pick.

👉 That pick gets redistributed to the rest of the league.

No more fines. No more slaps on the wrist. Real consequences.

I walk through:

✅ Why tanking keeps happening

✅ Why fines don’t scare owners or GMs

✅ How a forfeited draft pick would change everything

✅ What happens if a contender wins the redistributed pick

✅ The risks, flaws, and counterarguments

Would this fix the problem? Or make things worse? Drop your thoughts in the comments: What should Adam Silver’s “or else” actually be?
