At the very least, taken from another league that went through a (possibly) similar scenario:

I also suggested that the past years play-off teams only be given the opportunity to move up 5 spots (for instance if the Bulls were chosen, they could move up from 30 to 25, every other team before them moving down one slot. I guess it was a little confusing, thus why it was left out of the article). Still, as much as one would think this system might be unfair, it worked very well for the NHL, and I really doubt that the NBA would not institute some system to keep the Heat, Mavs, Bulls, Lakers, etc. from acquiring top 10 picks.

Nonetheless, it would also be unfair to reward teams for futility without having played a new season, so I do not think that a re-do of this past years lottery would work either (except of course for the fans of those teams). I think those teams should have a higher probability than high level play-off teams, but I have a feeling that if the season was indeed cancelled, you might have to worry about everyone having a shot at moving up in the draft. For those worried about the rich getting richer, well, all I can say is that in the NHL, none of the teams that had finished to highly moved up to any ridiculous pick. I am thinking that the NBA would come up with some system (similar to the moving up a maximum of 5 picks for play-off teams) that would keep the Heat and Lakers from picking Andre Drummond, Anthony Davis, Jared Sullinger or Harrison Barnes.
