I'd say you can't trade away picks more than 2 years out. Think of the teams tanking by trading away their 1 all star for 3-4 years worth of low end 1st rounders to a competitor. Would greatly reduce the value and make a team want to build around talent rather than simply ship someone out.
Every team who doesn’t make the playoffs only gets one lottery ball
My suggestion would be to put all the teams in the lottery and give all the teams the same percent chance…in other words, whatever percent is chosen, are the odds for every team, even the bad teams and you can't trade your picks. In other words, teams that made the playoffs or won the championship can still get the #1 pick.
How about this rule for tanking:
Draft pick go in reverse for lottery teams.
14 #1pk
13 #2pk
12 #3pk
11 #4pk
etc, etc.
This would encourage more effort to complete amongst lottery teams and discourage tanking.

Drop the bottom two teams out of the league into the d league and lift the top two d league teams up.
