That was a stupid article. It doesn't even address its title thesis of evaluating whether the new lottery has "discouraged" tanking - ie resulted in more teams tanking, or less.
It was just trying to determine "is tanking worth it" with a conclusion from the files of Captain Obvious, which is that the flattening of lottery odds have lessened the value of the very lowest picks, and heightened the value of ones that begin lower in the draft. Well duh.
