Orlando holds the record for the craziest luck. Didn't they get Shaq with like one ping pong ball? PEACE.

Yeah, and they still stunk, so what does that say about them really?
lol that will not end well
NBA is such a shitty league, and this is why.
The whole lottery is the most rigged thing in the entire world. It makes literally no sense why they can't do the drawing on live television.
Basketball is a great sport, and superstars emerge easily in the NBA, but the league sucks.

It was rigged but not in the way I thought. No way did I think they would give it to the Cavs again

And why in the hell would they rig it for Cleveland and not LA or Boston?

Shit is fucking rigged
Oh come on, you think Ernst and Young would be rigging? It just sucks that the Cavs keep having their terrible decisions rewarded
You should only be able to get the #1 pick once every 3 years

It's not rigged. If it were rigged you really don't think LA or Boston would have gotten the pick? The NBA knows Cleveland is a hell hole that is run by a certifiable moron. The problem the NBA has is the lottery system in general. It encourages tanking and doesn't discourage teams and owners from being terrible. There should be a penalty from being in the lottery so many years in a row.
SIMMONS KNOWS WHAT'S UP
Seriously. You shouldn't be allowed to have the #1 pick more than once every five years.
And why would anyone think this is rigged? The NBA sure as hell wouldn't want Cleveland getting this pick.
Edit: Ninja Scooter's got it right^.
It's not rigged, but the lottery isn't working. Odds are odds, not rules. Like I said, Orlando was the longest shot to get a #1 ever.
Bill Simmons so salty. PEACE.
Yea right. This is all leading up to LeBron coming back home with a stacked roster of young talent. Shit is so rigged it's unbelievable.

If it was rigged it would've went to the Lakers.

It means that either complete incompetence (the Cavs) or deliberate losing (the 76ers) is rewarded. Damned if you do damned if you don't.
It's not like they were projected to pick first. They got extremely lucky.

Obviously they're rigging it for Cleveland to convince people the NBA isn't rigged because nobody is dumb enough to believe they would rig it for Cleveland.
They shouldn't have the opportunity to get lucky

They shouldn't be able to get "lucky" just because they are run by incompetent morons. If it were up to me, if you get the number 1 pick and are in the lottery again the next year, you automatically default to the back of the draft. Pick 14. That's it. No ping pong balls. It's bad for the league to continue sending potential big stars to a shitty franchise like that. It's the same thing the league let happen with the Clippers for years and years and it's terrible for the league.
Depends on the condition of his adenoids and tonsils.
no he's just mad the cavs were rewarded again
he thought they deserved a good pick less than any other team, it's not surprising that he's pissed.
Because they still feel sorry for the LeBron debacle.
Well they got rid of their shitty GM, so no.
Best idea i've heard yet on how to fix it.
They shouldn't be allowed to get lucky. If you get the #1 pick, you shouldn't be allowed to get it again the next year. It's just dumb.
This would totally solve tanking. In a league with such a punitive salary cap, the draft should not reward bottom-feeders

Fucking Cleveland again. They need to be banned from lottery contention for the next 10 years.
Now that punk ass LeBron will move back there when he gets bounced from these playoffs. lol

There is, but it's passive. A culture of losing, less desirable location for free agents and coaches, fan participation dwindling.
Sorry? The league is making more money with him in Miami than Cleveland. Tin foil hat theories never make sense. PEACE.

Cleveland must supply the most magnificent hookers and blow, always getting gifted that number one pick.
I'm salty, but 3 and 10 in this draft is still damn good.

So who do the Cavs take 1?
They don't have a small forward and the big men they took high in the draft really suck.
