I too think that a format where the bottom teams - say bottom 10 with 25% of the season left play for lottery odds. The best team in the final 25% of the season wins the highest lottery odds.
You would still have to give the worst team a edge on the 10th worse at the start of this "losers tournament" but I am sure there are ways to do it.
Make it exciting for fans with non playoff teams to try and win games. I hate the short term high when we win but the feeling the next day as if I wish we would have lost a close one.
