So is the draft fixed or what?

...

and how do They keep ending up running the show? Is it just a big coincidence?

Technically they have no legal obligation to not fix it. Therefore they have a business obligation to fix it.

LAKERS TOP 3
BLESSED BE YAHWEH

blatant jewish bullshit

Of course its fucking rigged. They do the actual ball pull in a sealed room.

>top 3 picks are 3 of the most celebrated franchises in NBA history with huge markets

hmm

>mfw Suns went full tank mode to get the 4th pick
>mfw the Lakeys finished strong and everyone made fun of them
Basketball gods noticed.

if that was true why wont he rig it again for my knicks

we've only had 1(one) #1 overall pick ever despite being so shit

fuck you dirty kikes reeeeeeee

because it's top 3 not top 4

Yes. The only reason Boston got #1 is out of sympathy for the manlets stupid nigger sister

The two top teams in NBA history both got exactly what they needed tonight. You tell me.

Since when have the Sixers been a celebrated franchise?

>two best players can play the same position
>draft happens to land them on the teams of the league's largest historical rivalry
Golly gee I wonder why

...

because the knicks are retarded and no matter how much the system is rigged for them, they'll fuck it up

i know it makes a lot more sense to say it's a conspiracy to your deranged minds, but isn't it just possible that since this was a pretty highly likely scenario from the get-go, that it just naturally occurred this way? The lakers had around a 47% chance to get a top 3 pick, they got a top 3 pick. The Celtics had the highest chance to get the #1 pick via the nets and they got it. This lottery wasn't even slightly surprising from a statistical standpoint, it happened almost exactly as you would predict if you were betting on the outcome. Or, alternatively, it's all a conspiracy. I guess it doesn't really fucking matter.

it's not rigged

Only if they drew the balls on live TV will I believe the NBA Draft isn't rigged.

shh, put your tinfoil back on. Rigging something which has completely luck based results is clearly a smart thing to do. It's not like top picks bust all the time or anything

The whole fucking league is rigged, remember Tim Donaghy?

Three of the four years when LeBron was in Miami, Cleveland got the first pick. Not once did they have the worst record. One year they had a .017% of getting first, they still "won" it. It's obviously not a legit system

You can rig a live draft. Live drafts are done in soccer, but Sepp Blatter has even admitted that they use hot and cold balls so that the guy picking knows which teams are which

Idk man the spurs getting Duncan and the cavs getting LeBron could have happened

>Dan Gilbert was born to a Jewish family in Detroit, Michigan

Then the balls have to be picked like a crane game
Complete with the team logo on the ball being visible to the audience as he seems to get a grip and is moving it to the drop zone just for it to fall

Since they somehow turned a guy reading the results of a "lottery" into an actual tv show, might as well just make it a 3 day thing where each team has to pick either their HC, GM or president to play in a 1v1 tournament

The draft is the most blatant and easiest thing to fix

>The call that saved Los Angeles

Because it doesn't matter what the Knicks do, they are Fucking retarded and don't deserve to ruin any more players careers. The Knicks are fighting the Browns for the most JUST franchise in American sports, and even the Browns are slowly turning it around. Fuck the Knicks. Fuck 'em. They shouldn't even be discussed.

That was awful

Rigging the draft in Leaveland's favor just so they won't be contracted

They're doing it now for Philly

its not. lakers were set to get the 3rd best pick and moved up one. if it was rigged, they would have gotten #1 overall because boston is already competing for the finals

also magic desperately need a star, they would have gotten a top 2 pick if it was fixed

celtic fags are the worst posters here desu

...

What was more obvious rigging?

This ping pong ball shit or the "frozen letters"

Of course it is.

The team with best chance of getting first pick got first pick, must be rigged

will the celtics actually draft fultz if fultz is a pg? they already have so much invested with the manlet and his expensive compadre

how will the celtics run a system with 3 small guards??? or do they trade fultz? or do they trade IT? can they coexist with the other clown?

It's only fixed if you lose the lottery

They trade IT for kevin love and build for the futur

They draft Fultz

Avery Bradley and/or Marcus Smart gets traded in the offseason or trade deadline

how the FUCK can a sport in 2017 have such a blatantly shit and nontransparent draft that has historically favored certain teams over others, in a league so horribly unbalanced that the same 2 teams have dominated for almost 4 years, in a sport that har been marred by officiating rigging in the past, be taken seriously? Why can't the NBA have a traditionally draft like that of the NFL or MLB? How can fans actually justify this?

>agknowleging the existance of niggerhoop
Why does anyone do this?

Blame Brooklyn dude, it's their fault the Celtics got such a great pick.

They tried to "win now" with the dumbest trade in history.

Miami went strong they deserve it moved than anyone

Miami is so fucked.

How do we fix it?

>solving your backcourt logjam by trading for white horford
?

genuinely think it's pretty cool that a team that eschewed tanking were rewarded.

anything that gives teams momentary pause about tanking is a good thing.
