I'm not saying it's never been rigged, but if they did rig it they'd make sure Magic kept his damn mouth shut. Favoring 1 team disfavors 29 others. You have to really do something special to make 29 other owners look away, like maybe buy a toxic franchise off their hands at a premium price.
Regardless of who wins, there is always a rigging narrative. Going into last draft the NBA was going to reward Philly for ending The Process.
If the NBA wants to rig the draft it would just be some combination of Celtics, Lakers, and Knicks in the top 3.

Lakers being relevant is good financially for NBA.
The lucrative local TV deal they have is in about year 4-5 of 20. The NBA's new deal with TNT/ESPN is in year 1 of 9. I'm sure a good Lakers team is better for ratings, but with the renewal of the current deals so far out I doubt the league feels any pressure to help them. LeBron vs. the Warriors is a great story line for now and the Playoff Ratings have been doing pretty well.

With a 5.4 rating in metered market results, the Celtics vs. Wizards series-clincher scored a five-year high for TNT in the metric. Monday night’s match-up was the best NBA non-Conference Finals results ratings that TNT has had since March 21, 2012 when the LA Lakers played the Oklahoma City Thunder.
