Adam Silver: Still Some Work to do to Stop Tanking
NBA commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged Friday that the league’s lottery reform in place for next season may not be enough to deter teams from tanking games.
“We’ll see how much of an impact that has, but my sense is we’re still going to have some work to do,” Silver said after meeting with owners at the Board of Governors meeting in Manhattan.

The Knicks never made a formal offer to the Pelicans for center Anthony Davis on the teams’ latest round of trade talks, according an NBA official.
While the Knicks had interest in the superstar center, talks with New Orleans’ new general manager, David Griffin, were preliminary and brief ever since he began soliciting offers two weeks ago. Davis is headed to the Lakers after Saturday’s blockbuster agreement.
The sense is the Knicks believed they could not match the demands of the Pelicans and essentially backed off.
