    Don't care much about the lottery, but the actual draft is less than a month away. Knicks should do whatever it takes to get Kendall Marshall, I think Harrison Barnes and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will both have really productive careers in the NBA. On the other hand I'm not really big on Jeremy Lamb or Austin Rivers. And watch out for Terrence Ross, he could be a bit of a sleeper.

    Have to agree with you on Rivers. He should have stayed another year. It's not like he comes from a poor family. Maybe he got tired of Duke academics.

    Hornets because thats the way the NBA sold them, they said they were going to rig the draft lottery so they get two top 3 picks including the #1

    Can't wait to see bums like Jeremy Lamb, Barnes and Rivers go ahead of Waiters. 3 years from now those teams will be hating themselves.

    Even if Charlotte gets the first pick in the draft they'll probably find a way to screw it up and not take Anthony Davis.

    Charlotte needs to do the right thing and sign on Jerry Sloan as coach. Then get some players.

    Huh? Have you been hiding under a rock? Did you not see the Ewing fix. Nowadays Stern doesn't even have to show it live anymore, he just gives you the results. Did you see the makeup call they gave Cleveland last year? Expect more of the same this year with Cleveland and possibly Charlotte.

    Guarantee Waiters will be one of the top players from this draft. His game is perfect for the NBA and he can go to the rim like nobody else.

    I honestly think you guys just have it so engraved in your head that everything is fixed its unreal. Betting on the draft lottery is pointless, you might as well just play the real lottery. The only thing "fixed" about it is that each team has a fixed probaility to win, meaning you are simply playing a random event and losing value on the juice.
