I'm not sure if there is one giant practical joke going on behind the scenes or what, but even if the team with the 10th best record won the lottery for the last 50 years, it's irrelevant.
Going from 3 to 5 doesn't eliminate us from #1 pick contention. It does HURT our chances though. Not sure why this is such a difficult concept for a lot of the people here to grasp.
I think virtually everyone understands this concept.
By pointing out that the team with the worst record hasn't won the top spot very frequently, no one is suggesting that it's better to have any other specific record. I think they're just observing that the worst record is certainly no guarantee.

Why is this turning into the HT equivalent of a christians v atheists debate?
Can't we just agree to disagree?

I completely agree with this. But I do think there are still people on here that would argue that the past drafts do have some influence on what happens for the lotto THIS YEAR. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
As for tanking. I would never expect a competitor to go out and lose on purpose, ever. If the organization decided to do so to get a player like LeBron James or Kobe, then it is what it is...a business decision for the future....10 games at the end of a season that mean absolutely nothing or the next 10 years of potential championship runs and being amongst the elite.
Either way, this team is going to get two top notch players added to their already hard working roster. Even without the 1st pick (or the 2nd or 3rd), this team is going become exponentially better next year.
