I agree in some respects, but you know, what if the Lakers win a championship and then get 3 top-5 picks in a row.

I think a weighted lottery from top to bottom of the first round, with a higher chance of teams moving a few spots would be better. The NBA champion would still have an incredibly remote chance of getting the #1 that way, but bad teams will still have the best chance.
