Warriors would have avoided James Wiseman disaster with proposed draft rule

The NBA could be set to integrate a myriad of rules to combat the NBA's growing tanking concern, but it may have have come six years too late for the Golden State Warriors.

One of the specific proposed rules would have prevented the Warriors getting the second overall pick in 2020, and therefore prevented them from fatefully taking James Wiseman which resulted as a disaster for the franchise.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Thursday that a general manager meeting took place where a host of concepts were proposed to curb tanking, including the idea that teams couldn't select in the top four of the draft a year after making the Conference Finals.
