The current system needs to be improved in all sports, not sure you can totally abolish it though
punishing teams for trying to compete is the opposite of what sport should be about as is rewarding teams for being terrible
Paying $200 to go to a game your team is better off losing also sucks a fat one

I think it should be an even lottery for non playoff teams with the only weighting based on recent picks. (no four firsts in six years losers) Even first round losers can be invovled somehow.

With a salary cap there is no excuse to suck for years on end...if you suck its because your managment sucks.
