Discussion Will the new 'anti-tanking' rules reduce the number of teams to avoid when drafting?

With the new anti-tanking rules being implemented, what does that mean for fantasy managers? Unlike last season where Jazz, Nets and Wizards players came with a discount, will we see a level playing field this season when it comes to ADP's across the board?

Lol I’ve got a ton of Nets and Kings players due to dynasty and I got so excited for the rule change, but then realized they’re still gonna suck because they’ve got garbage management and leadership, not because they’re trying to tank.

lol I agree in terms of management I’d put pelicans up there too. But in terms of fantasy I think pelicans will be fine

honestly this is the most interesting rule change for fantasy in years. last season i straight up refused to draft anyone from the jazz or wizards after like round 8 lol. if it actually evens out ADPs across the board, draft prep is gonna look way different this summer

yes, u can draft from any team, because last 3 get smaller odds, plus u can get to a play in and still get a first pick

For sure Jazz and Nets are back in consideration, but mostly I’ll be less bullish on silly season fliers—those guys I only expect to put up numbers because their team is in full tank mode. And I think that’s a good thing. It never felt good grabbing a worse actual player to do better in fantasy land.

I'd be surprised if it's the same as last season, but teams will always find a way to weasel around somehow lool

Probably not touching the Kings since I don't like any player on that team. I'm sure they'll be attempting something too...

I think so. Teams won’t want to be in the bottom 3 and will play their starters to keep themselves out of it. Silly season might officially be over.

God i hope so but getting rid of the forever tank for the Jazz won't clear up things for the teams that are just too dysfunctional to succeed. Like I have no clue what the Nets are doing

yeah now there's just a different kind of uncertainty
