Multiple sources with knowledge of Thursday's GM meeting as well as a late January Competition Committee meeting told ESPN that the following concepts have been discussed to curb tanking:

•First-round picks can be protected only top-4 or top-14+

•Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date

•No longer allowing a team to pick top 4 in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-3 finishes

•Teams can’t pick top-4 the year after making conference finals

•Lottery odds allocated based on two-year records

•Lottery extended to include all play-in teams

•Flatten odds for all lottery teams
