According to <strong data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2025\">ESPN<\/strong>, the league presented three proposals at the recent <strong data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2100\">Board of Governors<\/strong> meeting as discussion points, but none of them was received with much warmth around the league.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2581\">Commissioner <strong data-start=\"2249\" data-end=\"2264\">Adam Silver<\/strong> is pushing for a quick reform, with the goal of putting new rules in place before next season and before the 2026 Draft. Silver said the final decision will need to be made at the ownership level because it carries business, basketball and integrity implications for the league.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2583\" data-end=\"2930\">The issue is that teams still do not agree on the problem itself: some franchises believe bottoming out and building through the draft remains the best long-term path, while others think tanking creates a harmful losing culture. That leaves the debate open, with more discussions expected in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to ESPN, the three anti-tanking concepts presented at the recent Board of Governors meeting did not receive strong support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":490046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-491900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
