15? 16 teams make the playoffs. I don't think there are 31 teams in the NBA. There are 14 lottery teams.

The lottery is conducted with witnesses verifying that all 14 balls are represented once as they are placed in the lottery machine. The balls are placed in the machine for 20 seconds to randomize prior to having the first ball drawn. The remaining three balls are drawn at 10-second intervals. NBA officials determine which team holds the winning combination and that franchise is awarded the #1 overall draft pick. The four balls are returned to the machine and the process is repeated to determine the second and third picks. In the event that a combination belongs to a team that has already won its pick (or if the one unassigned combination comes up), the round is repeated until a unique winner is determined. When the first three teams have been determined, the remaining picks are given out based on regular season record with the worst teams getting the highest picks. This assures each team that it can drop no more than three spots from its projected draft position.

WHAT are you ****ING kidding me, that COMPLETELY destroys the competitive balance any mediocre or weak team has.
if pathetic teams can't signed FA, what's their refuge, IT'S THE DRAFT.
imagine if DAL had 1st pick, RIP, Harris, Sheed and Beasley.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, that's unfair advantage right there.
it should be BETWEEN ONLY THE LOTTERY TEAMS.
