Embid and Wiggins were perceived as superstars, yet neither Boston or LA were in position to draft them.

I believe there's a certain level of control when it comes to the destination of the leagues most marketable stars, but I don't necessarily believe the NBA is automatically biased towards big/glamour markets (officiating is another story).

Absolutely, no other way to explain Cleveland having the #1 3 out of 4 years. Yes I'm aware Kyrie was chosen with the Clippers pick and technically Cleveland didn't win in 2011, but the pick was in Cleveland's possession either way. Semantics.

Far as I'm concerned the Lakers just got their payment for basketball reasons.
Do you understand how the NBA draft lottery works?

These lottery fixed idiots are never going to be convinced it's not fixed. No matter what team wins they'll find a way to justify it. If they can't think of a reason for the league wanting Minnesota to win they'll just say it was a year for diversion.

I heard the owner wants to sell the team. #1 pick helps with the buyers and brings in fans.

and the lottery is rigged. Wizards got the #1 pick after the arenas fiasco. Why not show it live?

Stop crying breh the nba paraded the Miami heat as their premier franchise the last 4 years.
We worked for everything we got, breh. Even when the NBA itself tried to fukk us as they did in 97 when Stern overturned the Juwan signing and accused us of violating the salary cap and having an under-the-table del with Zo.

We didn't get no frozen #1 pick envelope in '84.

As a matter of face you NEVER hear anyone say "the NBA needs Miami to be relevant in order to be successful" . You hear it about the Knicks, Celtics and Lakers damn near every day.
Every-fukking-Day. :pacspit:
They have never delivered no #1 pick to us on a platter. Historically we always get about the worst pick we can get in the Lottery. We have NEVER had the #1 pick even tho i believe we've had the worst record in the league 4 times. The Bulls got that sh!t 3 times in the last 15 year alone and didn't even had the worst record (we did) when they got it and took Rose...the local kid :comeon: Cleveland got it to take Lebron... the local kid :comeon: Then got 3 #1 picks after Lebron left in what Stern himself said was a "disappointing for Cleveland fans".

Now ask me again if i dont believe the sh!t is rigged. :stopitslime:

3 out of 4 #1 overall picks is just a crazy coincidence. :troll:

The team with the greatest chance of getting #1 just won for the first time in 11 years. :troll:

Crazy how chance is, isn't it :troll:

Businessmen who only care about profit would never bend the rules to make as much money as possible :troll:

Adam Silver's master plan is to have the NYC basketball team which tanked all year get the 4th pick and the Minnesota basketball team with 10 fans get the 1 pick :krs:
It is rigged bruh, my guess all along was Minnesota would get the pick.
Why? Because of star power. They want Wiggins to be that international superstar Lebron is. But Wiggins has two countries he can piggyback off of. Plus he is the next in line
You give him a center. He has a flashy PG already. Won't mean shyt til they get rid of Flip tho :scust:
