Lottery is rigged.....and the winner is

[Trifecta.Suave]

The winner is Miami
A happy Wade = a happy Stern

[faze]

If the lottery was rigged I'd expect to see:

1. Sonics
2. Heat
3. Knicks

These organizations are in pretty tight with the NBA and could use a boost.

-= original quote snipped =-




weve been in the lottery 7 out of the last 8 years--how many times have we won it? None

We've been in the lottery 13 out of the last 14 years, and the one time we move up we got Joe Smith.

No offense, but our bad beats your bad

the Knicks. David Stern is a puppetmaster.....whatever city he feels needs a boost will eventually get one. He lined his pockets up with some of Paul Allen's Microsoft money to get the city of Portland re-energized with the NBA. If you don't believe that Paul Allen paid for Greg Oden then you just aren't paying attention. If you don't think he sent Durant to Seattle to keep the Sonics there then you are an idiot. He sent LeBronze to Cleveland, etc. This year he will give his good friend Donnie Walsh a new point guard for D'Antoni to work with.....DRose. He also will help Bob Johnson and Michael Jordan bring the fans back to Charlotte. They've had tough luck in the lottery missing out on Chris Paul and then picking Morrison over Gay/Roy so now it's time for Stern to wave his magic wand and hook them up.

This is not a prediction......it's a guarantee.

#1 Knicks
#2 Bobcats


The Bobcats may have a decent team for Larry Brown to work with:

Felton
JRich
Wallace
Beasley
Okafor

with Carroll, May, Morrison, Dudley, a vetern PG, and Nazr off the bench.

Charlotte 9th, New York 6th. Nice conspiracy theory.

Hah was a good read but this guy as everyone knows is an idiot.

It could be rigged but its speculation at best.

Only Stern and company know the truth.

Anyone who thinks the lottery is rigged is a moron. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to rig that system they use? Not to mention, it is a federal crime. Why would the NBA risk it? Seriously.
