    Conspiracy Theorists

    If you want a good value pick take Sacramento Kings at +1360 (5dimes) to win the NBA draft. this shit is rigged and Stern wants to start the new owner off right. Shit at +1360 might as well put $10 bucks down on it. Used this same angle last year with the Hornets.

    League owned the Hornets. Stern could give two shits about the Kings. He acts on behalf of the owners. If he had it his way, the Kings would have went to the better market (Seattle).

    Many teams don't even want the first pick citing the lack of talent

    There is a lot of talent in the first 10 picks, there just isn't a clear cut superstar.

    if it was rigged, the clippers, lakers, knicks nor thunder would be standing around the dance floor right now holding their puds.

    last year sure seemed rigged, but with out us seeing the "drawings" it probably really is rigged. They should make it like the lotto and have balls with team logo bouncing around to prove its really random chance

    That is true this particular season, but certainly not every season. Just no clear-cut best player(s) this season.

    If GM's of some of the needier teams were smart, they'd already be positioning themselves in the "Suck for Wiggins" campaign of 2013-2014.

    Kid is the next superstar that will be in the LeBron/Durant/Kobe stratosphere of current basketball.

    Magic seem an obvious choice to rig it for since they lost a superstar and suck (Dwight)

    Kings too with all the drama surrounding the team moving a new #1 pick could reignite fan interest

    Gonna say maybe a few years down the road someone in this draft will emerge as a star. Right now tho its filled wth solid\role players so like in this years NFL draft the #1 pick is devalued more than usual. What's the prize Noel? Lmao

    The Kings are bottom 4 in home attendance the last 5 years. 2009 they were last, 2010 & 2011 they were 2nd to last, and last in this past season. I can't imagine Seattle doing worse.

    Can you please point me to a figure that shows Seattles attendance record the last 4-5 years? I have to believe it has been worse than Sacramento.

    As a Bulls fan I hope this is true. Bulls have Bobcats picked unprotected in 2016.

    Cavs muthafukkers... Cleveland is on a roll. Indians will win the pennant, Cavaliers will compete in the East. Plus the Browns will have the best defense in the NFL.

    Mike Brown will have them playing defense. The only problem with Nerlins is the injury. Can he come back healthy? Can he put some meat on those boney bones?

    Too bad Andrew Wiggins wasn't available. That kid is a beast and whoever sucks to get him next year will be an instant contender. Anybody thinking the draft lottery doesn't mean shit is very mistaken and next year will prove it.

    Magic win it and end up with a dud. No one in this draft will end up being a super star. Shabazz Muhammad (who might be 25 years old, who knows) will be an average NBA player at best.

    That will be the new Seattle expansion team after Chris Hansen sues the NBA. Here you go a nice superstar to start you off now drop the lawsuit.

    You guys are nuts... Have you looked at the NBA rookie wage scale? It's a huge bargain in the first few years for teams to get lottery players. A kid like Wiggins will make the team that gets him tens of millions of dollars in his first year alone. Jersey sales alone will pay his salary.

    You very well could be right. I firmly believe the NBA gave the Cav's the 1st pick after "LeDecision" in order to quiet Dan Gilbert and any hints of collusion. Heck they may have given him this years #1 as part of the deal with the devil too.
