There's no basis that the sport is held to a high standard and you're out there to compete every single game.

It just becomes this progressive weakening of the integrity of the sport.

They need to hire quants.

What they need to do with the NBA, this is an NBA thing.

It's going to solve the NBA and then you're going to have NCAA, then you're going to have collegiate football, you're going to have NFL.

What would you do if you actually... I would hire quants to build models with the best available data that the NBA has to look at the, like someone who knows what they're talking about with gambling, someone who knows, and I'm not trying to sell me because I'm not interested in this.

Yeah, I don't have any interest in doing this.

But yeah, they need to hire someone who can actually identify performance downgrades via a model using their data.

But then it's like you're going to do all of that and half of it's going to be the teams that are tanking.

And now you're going to have to have a conversation and be like, hey, were you guys losing this game on purpose because gambling?

Or were you losing this game on purpose because you're trying to tank for a draft spot?

Oh, just a draft spot.

Oh, okay.

That's cool.

Why you're losing a game on purpose.

There's several ways.

You can just make the draft completely 100% random.

That's one way.

That's not the most sophisticated way.

You can do the wheel where every team is guaranteed a spot every 30 years.
