1. Toronto (payback for losing Kawhi right after the championship)
2. Houston (payback for losing Harden)
3. OKC (payback for losing PG13 and Westbrook)
4. Indiana (payback for losing PG13, first time they've been in the lottery since losing him)

If it's indeed rigged, then the Lakers will get picks 1, 2 & 3.

That's my top two as well, if the rockets get 1 a few years after NOP got 1 in similar circumstances I may put the tin foil hat on

Pelicans did it twice. They got A. Davis the year after Chris Paul left and they got Zion the year after A. Davis left.

I’m mad that the NBA rigs the draft for the Pels to get a superstar, but they won’t rig it to let us build a superteam. :(

In the history of bad draft picks Anthony Bennett isn't in the top 100 for opportunity cost.

Oladipo?


Cavs already had Kyrie and Dion Waiters at the time so it was unlikely they would've went for another guard unless they seemed like a sure-fire upgrade which Oladipo wasn't seen as at the time since Oladipo had questionable scoring ability though top flight defense.
