The Philadelphia 76ers know the ramifications of May 16, 2017. That is the date for the 2017 NBA Lottery. But not everyone is happy with the system as it now stands. In fact, nobody seems to be happy over it.
The 2017 NBA Lottery is assaulted on many fronts. NBA Purists want the lottery system completely abolished. NBA Reformists want the lottery scrapped for a new system that penalizes teams that play poorly, with a perception that losing NBA games is the goal of the athletes on that team.
Finally, some want the NBA Lottery system strengthened.
