Here’s the thread for you to point out the obvious lottery rigging that everyone could see would happen. Every year there it’s obvious why the ping pong balls just happened to conveniently land in that order, so let’s hear it.

Who is tomorrow’s lottery rigged for and why?

If you don’t start your post with “obviously” it can’t be rigged. Obviously.

Obviously it’s New Orleans coz all the rigging and play off changes to get Zion into the post season hasn’t paid off. Obviously he needs more help so they will move up in the draft. Obviously.

Cleveland, New Orleans, and golden state move into the top 4.

Cavs keep getting first overall. Zion and Steph gifted help.

It's rigged by using metal shavings in the ping pong balls + magnets

Obviously Rockets (for obvious reasons). Then Hornets. Eastern conference needs young star talent. And Lamelo Ball needs help.

All I know is that Orlando better still be in the top 4. That's all I care about.

I feel like Orlando is going to get first.
So if they do I'm calling RIGGED!

...Or the Bulls, then it'd also be RIGGED!!!

You didn’t say obvious, but I will accept all caps RIGGED.

These other dudes posts don’t count

If the Warriors don't have two top 5 picks, this is sooooooo rigged.

Rockets-the league rewards small market teams for losing their star players who forced themselves out!!!

Okc-hometown kid(Cade) the league did it with lebron(cavs) and Derrick Rose(bulls)

Pelicans-for obvious reasons(possible relocation,Zion unhappiness)

Hoping the basketball gods rig the lottery for Raptors because apparently Kyle Lowry is the most sought after free agent this summer.

There seems to be a trend of star players either leaving or asking to be traded and the team they left being granted a high pick. For this reason, I'd be stunned if Houston doesn't get a top three pick.

Obviously Wolves move into 1st because the new ownership needs to get the welcome gift. Obviously.

Nah, we'll get 4th to give to the Warriors.

Obviously this year there isnt a clear team to rig for *coughs Lakers/Celtics/Sixers* so ill say its obvious that the Pelicans & Charlotte get Melo/Zion help. And obviously the Wolves wont move up, so that GS can keep the pick and use it to trade for another star.

Oh and Obviously the Kings are going to end up getting pushed down to spots to #11.

Cory Joseph and Bjelica forced themselves off of the Kings. I expect to be rewarded.

Dallas doesn't have a pick but they are rigging it for Euro Savior Fatboy Luke because otherwise he'll get Adam Silver fired next. Or so sources tell me.

here's a reason for every team, feel free to use tomorrow:
Houston: reward them for the Harden circus
Detroit: team with history, return them to glory
Orlando: reward them for finally tearing it down
OKC: SGA+Cade next star duo
Cleveland: they always win, makes sense
Sota: help out new owners, let them keep their pick and keep the team in Minny
Toronto: already gave them a fake title, give them a #1 as well
Chicago: big market, keep their pick
Sacramento: terrible for soooooo long, let them get out of the gutter
New Orleans: obviously get Zion into the playoffs
Charlotte: obviously get Lamelo into the playoffs
Spurs: see detroit
Pacers: see detroit
Warrior: maximize steph's prime

Obviously the Rockets get the #1 pick to get Cade and because they lost Harden and that's a big market so gotta have some ray of hope shine there.

Obviously Detroit then needs a big pick too and will be rewarded the #2 pick.

Then, obviously, the third pick will likely fall to a clearly rebuilding team like Orlando.

Finally they obviously want a team that has shown they can draft well like the Thunder will get #4.

Obviously this isn't the case as the NBA wants Zion to leave NO to go to NY or LA, so they'll do everything possible to make sure he has bad teammates.
