    Here's an article from someone who was there.
    the writer of your article is a pretty simple minded guy

    For now, let’s say this: If the process is actually rigged, the league does an incredible job of hiding it. Rigging the drawing would involve somehow tinkering with the machine (or the balls) so that it is more likely to suck up a particular four-ball combination out of 1,001 possibilities. I’m honestly not sure how the NBA could do that, or how the official drawing the balls at the prescribed times could actually pull off the trick of picking the right one in each instance.

    Another moron

    Here's the thing, though: People (fans, at least) would be crying conspiracy theory no matter what!

    • If the Nets won, they would say it was rigged to give the NBA a foothold in Brooklyn.
    • If the Kings won, they would say it was rigged to make sure Sacramento agreed to build a new arena.
    • If the Cavs won, they would say it was recompense for the LeBron James "Decision" fiasco.

    - cavs got it last year so that's a stupid idea
    - who gives a fuk about the nets....they'll get howard and it's lights out for season tickets
    - who cares about the small market shit sacto kings? stern probably prefers for them to move to a better market end of the day
