If next season is canceled, how is 2012 draft order determined?

Any chance they repeat the order from this years draft positions if next season is canceled? Good question by the OP, I would like to know myself.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a rats butt hole about the NBA, the Jazz, or anything related to basketball anymore? After Jerry left and the DWill drama, I really just don't give a crap anymore. Bring on the off season.

That explains why you're regularly posting to a Jazz fan forum, right?

That would be a nightmare. Nothing like giving the top teams an equal shot at what could be the best draft in a long time. When all of the top players pull out of this draft it could make that draft outstanding.
 
Hopefully next years draft and season get cancelled, and they keep the same odds from this season. If we could some how land Austin Rivers as our SG, it would be perfect.
 
I have to think they would use the 2011 standings again. There's no perfect solution, but I think that's most fair. I don't think there's any way to justify a scenario that has a top team getting a shot at a top pick (like a 30-team lottery). It's also unfair that a team's bad 2010-11 season gives them two top picks, because they might have improved in 2011-12, but it's more fair than the other way.

I think this is the most likely solution too. If that's the case the Golden State pick is probably 11, unless somehow the Jazz fall below them. Wouldn't it be strange if we ended up pushing our pick in a strong draft back by improving our pick in a weak draft? Do the Jazz get their own pick next year, or isn't it lottery protected like it will be this year?

Run the 2012 lottery with same odds as the 2011 lottery?
 
Pretty sure it would just be a do-over with the same draft order from this year since no season was played, or draft held, in the intervening year.
