Thread: If Season Cancels
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OTownSensFan</b></div><div>Now that it's official and its only suspended at this time it's safe to say everything once it gets back to business will be status quo. However a fair discussion would be the removal of the lottery and how people would complain. In the end everyone would complain. Because lets say they keep the lottery and we take any bubble team right now. They are in the playoffs today so not eligible for lottery but what if they fell out of the playoffs in those last 9-11 games then they would be eligible for the draft lottery. so If we keep the lottery Bubble teams will find it unfair because of the what ifs, so do you increase the size of the lottery to include said bubble teams? or do you just say screw it and have all 31 teams in the lottery? but then now you have 15 Teams mad because 16 Teams who were eligible now are. So thats where the thought process of simply old school format is the simplest and "fairest" and i put that in quotation because realistically no option will ever be fair to any set of teams.

BUT since the current statement is simply postponed meaning they will resume it's safe to say it's status quo and none of this matters.</div></div>

It's a fair point the more I think about it but personally the easiest solution for me is to just pick the lottery in the order it currently is with the bottom half as it normally would.
