Bobby Marks Says Teams Would Pay to Have a Top-3 Pick in the 2026 NBA Draft

While discussing the Pacers and Jazz's fines for tanking, Marks said a team outside the lottery would pay for a top pick. According to Marks, "They said they would basically write a blank check," to draft in the top-3 of the 2026 NBA Draft. He added that this kind of tanking issue will continue existing unless the system is fixed.
