NBA goal with draft lottery rules is to make teams more balanced. Philadelphia was first team loosing games by purpose and this tactic was good for them, they have one of most talented teams now, but for fans was terrible. Few years in a row they were watching defeats. Now more teams start doing that and NBA need to change rules. Draft 2019. will be better because there will be less difference between worst team and others.
Nice blog :-)

It's been happening long before Philadelphia did it. The Spurs tanked pretty hard in the 96-97 season in order to get Tim Duncan. It's just become more prevalent due to the extreme focus on developing players.
Didn’t know that. Thanks 😀
