…could end up with some weird rare cases where teams may make strategic choices at the very end to ensure a playoff miss rather than a playoff appearance I suppose, but that seems unlikely in most cases.
So you want the best team that misses the playoffs to get the best players …

Soooo how does a legit bad team actually improve ? If you are last at the TDL you probably aren’t making a magical run no matter how hard you try
