If there are 100 talent points a year 99 go to ~5 teams. Based on luck and tanking 5 or so teams of 32 will get almost all the talent every decade. That isn’t distributed, or even close.

What? Where are you getting that from? That's just a ridiculous statement. Please explain how 5 teams get 'almost all of the talent every decade'.

If you want proof just look at the tanking. it went from a few teams quietly to near a dozen overtly and another dozen teams media wondering why they aren’t tanking.
It is broken.

Yes, teams tanked. Because when you're bad, you're looking to acquire players. That's the entire point of a system that distributes players. That doesn't make it broken. And that is your problem here, IMO. You are offended by tanking, and as a result, label the system as broken. But your alternative would result in a worse distribution of talent.
