The NBA draft lottery reform has been voted down at Board of Governors meeting, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. System stays.

Makes sense. Dell made Asik trade assuming rules would stay the same for at least next year.
I think the way picks are given out needs to change, but I was never a big fan of this change.

Almost half. Interesting
More interesting....
Twenty-four hours ago, passage of draft lottery reform was considered a sure-thing. NBA was confident it had 23 teams. Then It fell apart.

What would have changed? I am looking on the forum to get a layman's breakdown and I am not finding anything.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Isn't it interesting that now that Cleveland has gotten what they wanted, they vote for a reform? No team has benefitted more from the current system recently than them.
I wasn't a big fan of the proposed changes. But having said that, I hope the Sixers obvious long-term tanking plan doesn't work out. I know I'm more than a bit hypocritical in saying this, but semi-tanking one season for a better shot at a transcendent talent like AD is one thing and not even remotely trying to field a competitive team for three (or more) seasons in a row is a different matter altogether. Just doesn't seem right.

"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
From #Pelicans' perspective: Evening out lottery odds = good. Moving lottery from deciding top 3 picks to top 6 picks = bad.

To be clear, lottery reform would have upped #Pelicans' chances of landing in top 3, but also added potential value of pick for #Rockets.
