Nets rebuild could be affected by new NBA anti-tanking proposal
The NBA is considering a new anti-tanking proposal called the '3-2-1 lottery' that could affect the Brooklyn Nets' rebuild, expanding the lottery to 16 teams and penalizing the bottom three teams with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick. The proposal could put more pressure on the Nets' front office to perform in the upcoming 2026 Draft.
The Brooklyn Nets are rebuilding for a better future, but a new NBA anti-tanking proposal could impact their efforts. The '3-2-1 lottery' would expand the lottery to 16 teams and penalize the bottom three teams with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick, starting with the 2027 draft. This change would make it more advantageous for teams to finish between the fourth-worst and 10th-worst record in the league. The Nets do not have control of their 2027 first-round pick, owing it to the Houston Rockets via a pick swap. The Nets' front office, led by general manager Sean Marks, may face more pressure to perform in the 2026 Draft. The proposal has majority support from teams, with possible minor modifications.
