Thursday

The teams that don't make the playoffs shall be in the lottery. The lottery order should be based on attendance. The highest attendance should get the first pick. Those fans have invested and deserve a high draft pick.

The draft should then follow the season attendance in order from 2 - 16.

If the teams aren't competitive, fans won't show up. If you are the lowest team in attendance, lower the prices, and spend some money on free agents. Create a team that people want to see.
