1. Integrity… 😂😂😂 FOH. Didn't the NBA have a huge gambling scandle earlier in the season?

2. Happy to see Brandon Ingram make the All Star game!

3. Don't reward bad teams. You can see that even the worst teams can be competitive with the best if they try, so make the draft lottery odds dependent on measurable stats that force all teams to try to pick am identity and play well

4. Stephon Castle robbed

5. Absolute abomination and the jazz organization should be fined millions of dollars.

6. The integrity of the game 😂 what a load of 💩

7. NFL FOX, CBS & NBC shows have one host and the rest of the panel has either former players or coach's from the league.
   But the "ESPN NBA Today show" has one host with 3 out of the 4 panel members that has never played in the Men's NBA.
   Even MLB understands you have one neutral host and the rest players or managers.

8. Well if their tanking just penalized them take the first round pick from them just stripe it

9. LOL. The Jazz have been a playoff team for most of the last 40 years, during that time I've seen at least 100 teams tanks. But now it's an issue because the Jazz do it? Integrity? Sure 🤣

10. Fix the odds and how teams can get better…stop worrying about how teams are playing the game to get better.

11. Fines are not only arbitrary, but they don’t work. The commissioner makes enough money to figure it out.

12. Back off…!!! It’s the first time the Jazz have been good at something for a long while…

13. Take their draft picks and it will stop immediately!

14. You take the fifteen teams with the worst record and give all the exact same odds for the number one pick. Sixteen through 20 gets the same odds, and the rest get less based on their playoff finish. You have less tanking that way, and they should add a rule that says no team can be in the top five pick position for more than three years. It addresses the teams that don't try.

15. After the nba got in bed with gambling books thag integrity bullsh went out the window a long time ago

16. THEY GAMBLING!!

17. Hmmm let’s see…teams are incentivized to lose…star players are incentivized to not play any games…crappy players are incentivized to gamble…looks like a league full of losers to me.

18. This is infuriating to hear as a Jazz fan. We played by the rules. We get screwed over by the league for being a small market in many ways. We're trying to build a championship contender against all odds. Have this conversation when it's the Lakers or Knicks tanking. Bobby Mark's take here is very self-serving.

19. make the odds for the bottom teams all the same.. so it doesnt matter if your in the last place or the 10th place, all odds are the same

20. bobby marks is reading the script. waht a loser take .

21. Tanking will always be a thing. What's the difference between a GM putting together a high school roster and sitting players on the bench?

22. funny! hearing disney and espn talking about integrity!

23. Now u suddenly care when the Jazz do it? What other possible choice do we have? Load of crap

24. Tanking is a good thing nobody cares about the bottom half of the nba , we only focus on the top half, tank all you want lol

25. Love how the media keeps the attention on the effect being solely on the drafts. The obvious frustration for us is the rip off for folks putting their hard earned money into the teams pockets. But, what they are steering your mind away from is the manipulation, including the positioning of teams, for the playoffs. TV money is every sport leagues golden goose

26. Just have a damn single elimination tournament with the 14 lottery teams already. Team that makes it through wins the draft..

    The team with the least wins is ranked 1 and the team with the most wins is ranked 14.. 14 plays 1 ,13 – 2,12 – 3 and so forth.. if a teams player(s) don't play a min of 65 games that player(s) aren't eligible to play for their team during the tournament and the team will be forced to hire g league/street ball talent which also generate extra income for ballers that normally wouldn't get a shot..

    This fixs tanking cause no will want to lose the most games while havin to play the best lotto team.and it stops teams from sitting out players..

    Problem solved, now pay me my commission check NBA!!

27. Thunder tanked way more then 2 years lol

28. What if every team 1-14 had an even chance of winning the lottery

29. Its simple, get rid of the lottery for the non playoffs teams. The better your record the higher you get to draft. Put them in order from best to worst record pick 1-14

30. 1:45

31. Don't allow teams to pick in the top 5 in consecutive years

32. Sitting healthy guys should be viewed no differently than point shaving
