Will the NBA rig the lottery to give the Lakers the #1 pick in the draft?

They have a 6% chance of getting it.
18

I hope so.

Nah, they will give them the 2 so it's not so obvious and they can trade it to Minny

The NBA certainly rigged that Chris Paul trade to help the Lakers out

The lottery isn't rigged so no.

No, but I also think there is zero chance Milwaukee actually ends up with #1 or #2. The NBA doesn't want Wiggins or Parker ending up there.

Because, the NBA front office is really enthralled about the possibility of a San Antonio-Indiana finals matchup.

Nah, the NBA probably promised the new owners the #1 pick if they bought the team. #rigged

The narratives for the conspiracy theorists
quote:
OK, so now that the lottery order is set, let's take a look at what outcomes are most assuredly rigged.
Milwaukee Bucks: "New ownership? How's about a welcoming present for you fine folks… try harder, Silver. You're worse than the last guy.."
Philadelphia 76ers: "Wow, saw this one coming from a mile away. 'Oh hey Philly, we're really sorry about Bynum…have the first pick..on us' Big market coming off a horrendous season; this rig job stands out like ants on a ski slope"
Orlando Magic: "We've seen this narrative before. Shaq, Dwight, and now... welcome to Orlando, Mr. Embiid. The Lakers will desperately need your services a few years down the road…I mean seriously? This is way too predictable"
Utah Jazz: "Reverse psychology done by our new commissioner Silver. Good try, but it won't work on us! You chose the least conspicuous team to give the first pick to, just so you could try and throw us off your tail. Nice try, rookie"
Celtics/Lakers: "This is by far the most atrocious rigging I've ever seen. Yeah, let's just give the number one pick in one of the most loaded drafts in recent memory to…the most storied fricking franchises in the game. I'm done with the NBA…this is some next level bullshite"
Sacramento Kings: "Hey Seattle, frick you, you're never getting a team. This will keep you fellas happy in Sacramento; any rumors or even thoughts of moving the team are officially dead. frick you Silver, this is just a giant middle finger to the entire state of Washington"
Detroit Pistons: "So I guess the NBA feels bad that the Pistons haven't had the number one pick since 1970? This is just an apology to Detroit for not having rigged the lottery in their favor since the Walter Kennedy days. With a new era comes new retributions…you're really gonna be this transparent Silver?"
Cleveland Cavaliers: "OOOOOOOOOOKAY…How many number one picks do they really need?? We know LeBron left, but just give it a rest for Christ's sake!"
New Orleans Pelicans: "We all know David Stern can't get enough of his team… A gift certificate to Red Lobster would have sufficed for a parting gift, Silvey…."
Denver Nuggets: "Hey, remember when Denver was a legit contender when Gallinari wasn't injured? Well I do. Silver just gifted these stoners Andrew Wiggins to complete their team..fricking perfect. Job well done, guy"
Minnesota Timberwolves: "Goodbye Kevin Love, hello Joel Embiid. This is just way too obvious for the team that had a 0.6% chance of the #1 overall…"
Phoenix Suns: "Wow, did they seriously just give a young, fringe playoff team a new superstar to put them over the top? Are you fricking kidding me?? 0.5% chance my arse"

Posted on 5/19/14 at 10:22 pm to AcetylCoA
How do they only have a 2% better chance than the Pelicans?
Posted on 5/19/14 at 10:23 pm to eumont
