But you got to be careful not to get away from the real reason of the draft order. Bad teams need that opportunity to get a player to turnaround the franchise. The cap has added to the parity, but a truly bad team being punished with a worse draft pick because they can't win is just going to keep them from winning next year. Looks like a bad cycle to get into.
Something like not drafting in the top five 3 years in a row would be alright, that would allow the drafted players to mature and then see if they have an impact on the team. Or give a weight to each pick, say 30 for the first overall and 1 for the 30th pick. A team can't exceed 100 in 4 years, something like that. So 3 first overall picks in a row, causes you to draft at best 10th the following year.
