How would the NBA Draft order work if there is no season?

A lottery where all the teams have an equal chance to get the number one pick?

NHL gave all teams equal chance in the draft after their lockout but I believe if the NBA season is lost they will use the same order again for 2012 draft.

Why would they use the same exact order again? That's not fair at all.

The NHL actually ran a draft lottery weighted by the teams' record/standing in the last season. I would expect the NBA to do the same.

Just splendid to see the Lakers or Heat or several other teams for that matter back into an elite talent out of the draft because of the lockout. This can't seriously happen can it??
