Report: NBA Owners Suggest Adding Third Round To Draft

NBA owners reportedly have proposed adding a third round to the draft. The NBPA countered by offering changes to the draft to "address the owners' desire for more competitive balance." Under one proposal, "the 15 teams with the worst records would continue to pick 1st through 15th, but then would also have the 16th through 30th picks." The teams with the top 15 records would have all the second-round picks. In another proposal, the "teams with the eight worst records would get an additional first round pick," and the teams with the eight best records would "select at the top of the second round" (SHERIDANHOOPS.com, 9/7).
