I like the Gold system. But I would tweak it slightly to even the playing field. The points would only start accumulating let's say for ALL teams a little after the trade deadline rather than mathematical elimination (or would activate for all teams once a single team is eliminated). It doesn't makes sense for a team to have a head start.

This might have the effect of bubble teams being great forever though. This might be fixed by taking the Gold's system and attaching a lottery to it?

Unless I misread how his system works.
