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.

    If you don't think the draft lotto is fixed watch the 1985/Ewing lottery on youtube. There are at least 4 very suspicious things that take place-1. The Knicks envelope has a big bent corner 2. Stern reaches into to the tube and fumbles around looking for said envelope 3. He then TURNS HIS HEAD for all 7 remaining envelopes to appear to be on the up and up. 4. Stern is so nervous he blows out such a huge exhale right before he digs for the first envelope to the point his cheeks blow up.

    My question is if it isn't fixed why doesn't the NBA allow us to see the actual lottery take place anymore? The logical answer would be who wants to watch ping pong balls--but have you seen the stuff they put on the NBA Network? They have developmental league games and a weekly show discussing different referees calls and with a retired NBA ref talking about those calls. Although they only do that show for the regular season of course. There is no way in the world they would ever want to explain the calls they pull out of their butts for the playoffs.

                    I dont know maybe so teams dont throw games at the end of the season and it just becomes one big contest to lose as much as you can like the NFL kinda comes down to?

                        Hornets are going to be a really solid team in 2-3 years.

                          Stop it with the rigged bs. Hornets could have picks 1-5 and they would still be a worthless team out West.

                            That would be wrong

                            The correct answer is Patrick Ewing

                            And apparently you don't pay attention to the NBA and the ways of David stern.

                              They need to pull the teams out of the bin live in person for everyone to see, this behind the scenes shit is for the birds.

                                    Kinda bad when ESPN is openly talking about it.

                                        Straight from the Deadspin article I posted earlier... "If New Orleans wins, it'll be a thank-you to Tom Benson for buying the Hornets"

                                        Come on guys....let's talk about how rigged it is.

                                        For serious though, they should do this on camera. I think they like all the conspiracy talks though...wouldn't it be much more boring otherwise?

                                                      I said the Hornets would win the lottery when the CP3 saga happened. You say rigged, I say free money.

                                                      Business as usual in the NBA.

                                                          Thats unreal.
                                                          I don't know why I said Charlotte in my earlier post. I meant that NOH would win the pick. I said it a long time ago as well when the Chris Paul deal went down.

                                                          I was on it
