If they are rigging it how are they getting the other 29 teams to go along with it?

Charlotte just lost the best prospect since maybe Lebron... what did the NBA give MJ to make up for that? Repaid all his gambling debts he racked up and got suspended for?

you obviously have no idea how corporate accounting firms operate.

ETA: on the one hand, I want you to stop for your own good. You're making yourself look worse and worse but on the other hand, I want you to keep it going because reading your retarded posts is the most entertaining thing I've done all week.

99.999999 percent chance the "two employees" working were partners anyway. Its not any different than the Oscar's or whatever, its just a PR stunt on their part. But yeah, the business acumen on display here is dishearteningly bad.

This is your only comeback to Mac's outline of the procedure?

Come on man





It is a tv show, the results are not shown live because it's more exciting to count down than to watch 12 oing pong balls come out of a machine.


Please stop you are a disgrace to Ron Swanson

If anyone is a disgrace to the name it's you. BTW, you are so stupid that you think that hat that Davis is wearing is for the New Orleans Hornet when it is clearly a throwback Charlotte Hornets design.

You think that since someone works for a very big and powerful company that they can't be bought?

At its peak, Enron was worth about $70 billion.




See Macatak's post.

The same balls are used by EVERYONE and its an insanely complicated process. Explain how it is possible for it to be rigged. Go.

I'm sure they were. I would have serious doubts that they would send some staff guys that were straight out of college to go and associate with the commish and team presidents.

nfl teams start 22 players nba starts 5. the incentive for a team to tank and grab a couple of number 1 picks in a row would be great in nba. in the nfl you have two sides of the ball and normally except for very rare exceptions drafting one player is not going to turn a franchise around so the incentive to tank every year is not great.
