• No longer allowing a team to pick top four in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-three finishes.
• Teams can’t pick top four the year after making conference finals.
• Lottery odds allocated based on two-year records.
• Lottery extended to include all play-in teams.
• Flattening odds for all lottery teams.

These are all excellent and reasonable.
Maybe the no-draft thing was just a misdirection to make sure there’s no blowback to this (though I really can’t imagine why there would be)
