今天上午，夏姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 报道称，NBA 最近向其董事会提出了三项反摆烂方案。同样，球员工会也提出了三项旨在改善竞争环境的建议。对于 NBA 来说，这并不是一个新鲜的话题，因为单个球员改变球队轨迹的能力，与联盟追求当下高端竞争的愿望之间始终存在紧张关系。平滑乐透抽签概率、累计多个赛季的战绩以及建立经济激励机制，都被提议作为维持联盟短期和长期竞争平衡的方法。
尽管这些提议各有优劣，但我发现它们在实现预期目标方面力度不足。因此，我有自己的解决方案。为什么我有资格谈论这个话题？作为一名曾在各种竞争环境下的球队效力过的 NBA 球员，我有着独特且相关的视角。而且，作为一名科内特，我的名字字面上与一种俄罗斯反坦克反坦克导弹（9M133 Kornet，“短号”）一模一样。所以，没错，让我们开始吧。
供各位参考，以下是卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的三项竞赛公平性提案……
1. 选择你自己的冒险
想要顶级新秀？你得靠自己去争取，萨姆·辛基 (Sam Hinkie)。在这项提案中，球队的选秀顺位将根据年终战绩锁定。NBA 战绩最差的球队 100% 锁定状元签，第二差的锁定榜眼签，以此类推。“卢克，那球队为了拿状元签直接打出 0 胜 82 负怎么办？这能解决什么问题？”请先听我把话说完。
在这种方法下，球队必须在赛季开始前正式表明他们要走哪条路：是争夺总冠军，还是争夺顶级选秀权。以下分别简称为“争冠球队”或“选秀球队”。
两支“争冠球队”之间的对决将是一场传统的比赛，每支球队都试图在计时器归零前超越对手，获得最高分，或者用我们通常的说法——打篮球。
当“争冠球队”对阵“选秀球队”时，出于对联盟的尊重并满足竞争倡议，双方将进行一场传统的竞争性比赛。但无论结果如何，“争冠球队”都将被计为获胜，而“选秀球队”被计为落败。你懂的……就是撒谎。
最重要的动态出现在两支“选秀球队”之间的比赛中，假设是 A 队和 B 队。有人可能认为这两支球队会拒绝比赛，导致 0-0 的平局。但可以推断，一段时间后，为了实现输球的目标， A 队的教练会开始指示 A 队的球员往自家篮筐投篮，从而为 B 队得分。随后 A 队将保持球权并不断发球，重复往自家篮筐投篮。这会让 B 队陷入不利地位，因为他们无法阻止自己的分数增加。
为了平息对这种选秀球队对决中竞争劣势的担忧，回场违例、发球和计分等规则将进行修改，使得 B 队在 A 队往自家篮筐投篮命中后拥有发球权。然后 B 队可以带球过半场，尝试往 B 队的自家篮筐投篮，从而为 A 队得分。两分球被定义为在任一三分线内向相邻篮筐投出的任何球，三分球为所有其他投篮尝试，而对投篮动作的非法接触将判给目标篮筐相应数量的罚球。这将确保两支球队都尽最大努力往各自的篮筐投篮，而得分最多的球队技术上将是输家，因为他们是在往自家篮筐投篮，从而为对方球队增加了分数。球员和教练将能够利用他们苦练的技能来帮助球队把球投进篮筐，并阻止对方把球投进另一个篮筐——归根结底，这才是篮球的真谛。问题解决了。
2. 无政府状态
回到标准规则。赛季正常进行直到全明星周末，届时球队将根据战绩排名 1 到 30 位。前 16 名球队保持不变。剩下的 14 支球队，就像扩军选秀一样，可以保护一定数量的球员。垫底的球队只能保护一名球员。倒数第二的球队可以保护两名球员。以此类推，直到倒数第 14 名的球队可以保护除一人外的所有球员。剩余未受保护的球员将被集中在一起进行选秀。这 14 支球队的选秀开始，战绩最差的球队在 14 轮选秀中每一轮都拥有首轮签，而倒数第 14 名的球队将只有一个选秀权，即首轮最后顺位。其他球队依序排列，选秀持续到所有球员被选完为止。赛季剩余时间将继续进行，并使用现有规则确定选秀顺位。我不确定谁会是这种规则下的赢家或输家，但这肯定会让事情变得更有趣。（NBA Reddit 的各位，启动你们的模拟选秀引擎吧！）
3. 《幸存者》
目前的乐透规则将维持传统的“烂队获得最高概率”模式。但一旦一支球队输掉足够多的比赛，失去季后赛资格，“幸存者”程序就会启动。随后，每多输一场比赛，落败球队的每名球员都必须以《幸存者》节目的方式投票，选出哪位队友将在赛季剩余时间内被“投票出局”。标准的《幸存者》投票规则适用。我知道你在想什么，当然，我们会提供“豁免神像”，而且淘汰赛的转播权将出售给合作伙伴……
最好情况：球队保持竞争平衡，一些边缘球员（或特别讨人厌的核心球员）会在赛季最后几场比赛中被几支球队投票出局。
最坏情况：当球员们为保住工作而战时，会出现拉帮结派、兵变甚至肢体冲突。为了防止被淘汰，球员们会结成盟友。随着背叛的发生，球队内部动态的现实将迅速暴露。赛季总决赛的最后一幕显示，最后站着的人是 T.J. 麦康奈尔 (TJ McConnell)。他喘着粗气，双手沾满鲜血，他对刚刚发生的一切并不开心。但实际上，他只是做了他一直在做的事：不惜一切代价生存下去。
结论
好了，方案就在这里！就像解魔方、破解囚徒困境，以及在这个联系比以往任何时候都紧密的世界中寻找亲密的人际联系一样，解决这个问题其实并不难。只要一点点创意，再加上对劳资协议、工会动态以及直接实际影响的大量无视，我们就能够找到三个易于实施的解决方案。愿平安与你们同在。

Introducing the 9M133 Kornet
This morning, Shams Charania reported that the NBA recently proposed three anti-tanking solutions to its Board of Governors. Likewise, the Player’s Association offered three ideas of its own to ameliorate competitve conditions. This is not a new topic of discourse for the NBA, as a single player’s ability to alter a franchise’s trajectory creates tension with the desire for present-day, high-end competition. Flattening lottery odds, aggregating multi-season records, and establishing financial incentives have all been suggested as ways to retain short and long-term competitive balance in the league.
Although these proposals all have their own costs and benefits, I find them insufficient in their efforts to achieve the desired goal. So I have my own solutions to offer. Why am I qualified to speak on such a topic? Well as an NBA player who has played on teams at all places on the competitive landscape, I have a unique, pertinent perspective. And as a Kornet, I literally share a name with a Russian anti-tank guided missile, so yeah, let’s do this.
For your consideration, Luke Kornet’s 3 Competitive Integrity Proposals…
1. Choose Your Own Adventure
You want the top prospect? You’ll have to earn it, Hinkie. In this proposal, teams are locked into draft order based on their year-end records. The worst team in the NBA gets a 100% lock for the first pick, second-worst gets the second pick and so on and so forth. “Luke, teams could just go 0–82 to get the top pick! How does that solve anything?” If you would indulge me for just one moment.
In this method, teams will have to enter the season formally indicating which route they are taking, contending for a championship or vying for the top draft pick, hereinafter referred to as a ‘championship team’ or a ‘draft team,’ respectively.
A matchup between ‘championship teams’ will result in a traditional game where each team is trying to best the other in a race against the clock to achieve the highest score, or as we commonly refer to it, basketball.
When a ‘championship team’ plays a ‘draft team,’ out of respect for the league and to satisfy competitive initiatives, teams will play in a traditionally competitive game. Regardless of the result, the ‘championship team’ is to be credited with a win and the ‘draft team’ credited with a loss. You know…lying.
The most important dynamic comes in a match between two ‘draft teams,’ say Team A and Team B. One may think the two teams would just refuse to play, resulting in a tie score of 0–0. But it could be reasoned that after some time, in an effort to actualize their desired end of a loss, the coach for Team A begins directing A’s players to score on A’s own basket resulting in points for Team B. Team A would then maintain possession and continually inbound to repeatedly score on their own basket, putting Team B in a disadvantaged position by being unable to prevent their own points from accruing.
To quell these concerns of the competitive disadvantage of draft-draft games, rules like backcourt violations, inbounding, and scorekeeping will be altered in such a way that gives Team B the right to inbound the ball after a made attempt on Team A’s basket. Team B could then proceed to take the ball across half court to attempt to score on Team B’s own goal, resulting in points for Team A. Two pointers will be defined as any shot taken within either three point line to the adjacent basket, threes as all other field goal attempts and illegal contact for shots attempted on a basket will be awarded with the corresponding number of free throws to the targeted basket. This will ensure a game where both teams do their best to score on their own respective goals, and the team that scores the most will technically be the loser as they did so on their own basket, resulting in points for the opposing team. Players and coaches will get to utilize their hard-earned abilities to help their team put the ball in a basket and keep the other team from putting it in the other basket, which, in the end, is what basketball is really all about. Problem solved.
2. Anarchy
Back to standard rules. The season plays out as normal up until the All-star break, where teams will be ranked 1–30 based their records. The top 16 teams remain intact. The remaining 14 teams, like an expansion draft, get to protect a certain amount of players. The last-place team gets to protect only one player. The second worst team gets to protect two players. So on and so forth until the 14th worst team gets to protect all but one of its players. The remaining unprotected players are pooled together and placed in a draft. The 14-team draft commences in which the worst team gets the first pick of each of the 14-round draft while the 14th-worst team will get only one pick, the last pick of the first round. The other teams slot according and the draft continues until all players are selected. The rest of the season will then be played out and existing rules would be used to determine draft order. I’m not sure who wins and loses in this, but it sure would spice things up a bit. (Gentlemen of NBA Reddit, start your mock-draft engines!)
3. Survivor
Current lottery rules will be maintained in the traditional worst-teams-gets-the-best-odds sense. The Survivor Process begins once a team loses enough games to be no longer eligible for playoff contention. Then, following each successive loss, every player on the losing team will have to Survivor-style cast votes for which of their teammates will be voted off the team for the remainder of the season. Standard Survivor voting rules apply. I know what you’re thinking and, of course, Hidden Immunity Idols will be available and rights to the elimination shows will be sold to broadcast partners…
Best Case Scenario: Teams maintain competitive balance and a few back-end (or particularly hated front-end) roster players will be voted off a handful of teams in the last few games of the year.
Worst Case Scenario: Mobs, mutinies, and physical violence occur as players fight for their jobs. Alliances are made to protect from elimination. The realities of inter-team dynamics are quickly exposed as betrayals occur. The last scene of the season finale shows the last man standing, TJ McConnell. Panting heavily and hands bloodied, he’s not happy with what just went down. But really he only did what he has always done. Whatever it takes to survive.
Conclusion
Well there you have it! Much like a Rubik’s cube, the Prisoner’s Dilemma, and finding intimate, human connection in a world more connected than ever, solving this issue really wasn’t that hard. With a little ingenuity and a lotta disregard of the CBA, labor-union dynamics, and immediate practical implications, we were able to find three easily-implementable solutions. Peace be with you.
