76ers want lottery overhaul delayed
The rough draft of this plan was met with opposition by 76ers management, which is in the midst of a multiseason rebuilding project that is dependent on a high pick next year. The 76ers, sources said, are hoping to get the NBA to delay the plan's implementation for at least a year because it would act as a de facto punishment while just playing by the rules that have been in place.
Joel Embiid, the former Kansas star and No. 3 pick in the draft, is a key figure in the 76ers' rebuilding plan, one the team believes could be hindered if the NBA's new lottery changes go into effect next year.
The 76ers, however, may struggle to gain support from Silver or fellow teams for holding off on the changes. Philadelphia's planned sink to the bottom has caused a drag on revenues in one of the league's largest markets and has upset some other teams, sources said.

They should leave the rules in place, and take away the Sixers 1st pick for admitting they want to tank more.

Milwaukee has been awful forever. How is that any different than now?

I agree with them it shouldn't be changed until all of the picks that have been traded so far are used so that trades that were made in the past don't suddenly increase or decrease in value.

I think they should change the rule immediately, screw the Sixers. I also think protection on picks should be banned.
