To reduce the incentive without eliminating a bad team’s chances at a top pick, the motivation needs to be reduced. One method would be to create brackets where a team’s precise finish doesn’t matter as much.
Teams finishing:
30th-25th 12% chance each
24th-21th 6% chance each
20th-17th 1% chance each

Can A Modified Lottery System Solve The NBA Tanking Problem?
Why he'd give a playoff team a chance at the top pick is bizarre - the idea is help teams that didn't make the playoffs, not make the rich richer.
Why he is mixing in how the playoffs work is just making a tough problem to solve overly complicated for zero benefit. Those are 2 separate issues & his idea on the playoffs side has huge holes in it.
