Ok, maybe it is offensive.


Just like how the 15-67 Miami Heat won the lottery right?

Oh so now I'm a moron for pointing out that the team with the worst record doesn't always win the lottery? ANYTHING can happen on the draft lottery so scoffing at people who don't pick New Jersey is silly...There are no guarantees regardless of NJ having an all-time low season...

Again, Exhibit A.

And, to clarify before someone goes off on a tangent, I'm not saying that the Nets will win the Lottery.

Edit: Oh, and I have no idea what your reference to NJ having one of the worst seasons ever has to do with anything whatsoever.

The sixers cannot get lower than 9th.

The lottery is rigged this just proved it to me one more time.
Washington and Philly are both screwed due to contract situations of Arenas and Brand and Stern wanted to help them out. It wasn't really hard to figure out that they would both move up.

Important is that you don't pick the teams Minnesota, Golden State and Sacramento to move up because they will not move up until they move the franchise elsewhere (where Stern wants them to be).
