Reminds me of what the Bulls did to them in game 1 of 2011.

I figured this would be the thread to talk about this -- Draft lottery is tonight. I'm thinking the Sixers land the top pick.

If David Stern were still commissioner, I'd lay big money on Boston or the Lakers

Just like when the Celtics got Tim Duncan.

I guess at least the Bulls got to enjoy all those years with Dwight Howard.

What else do you expect in a league that constantly dicks over cities like San Antonio, Sacramento, Charlotte, Orlando, Milwaukee, Golden State, Houston, Milwaukee, and Toronto?

[SouthSideRyan]

The Celtics and Lakers have missed the playoffs 11 times prior to this season. They've come away with 2 top 5 picks in those 11 instances (One 2 and one 5)

 

Teams that won the lottery with worse chances than the Knicks did with Ewing (which started this whole [expletive] stupid conspiracy theory because they won a draw where all 7 teams had equal chances)

 

1993 Orlando Magic

2008 Chicago Bulls

2000 New Jersey Nets

2007 Portland Trail Blazers

2005 Milwaukee Bucks

2006 Toronto Raptors

2002 Houston Rockets

1995 Golden State Warriors

2010 Washington Wizards

1991 Charlotte Hornets

1989 Sacramento Kings

2012 New Orleans Hornets

 

Can't fight city hall I guess.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He fixed the other ones to make it seem more unlikely. That's what makes it so insidious.

[SpongeWorthy]

Cool, Cleveland gets to [expletive] up another top 3 pick

[Guest]

The Cavs are next level lottery players, no one comes close.

Gotta help out your best markets.

Bill Barnwell just Tweeted that the odds of Cleveland winning those three lotteries was just under 15,000-to-1.

[Guest]

So the obvious way they're going to screw this up is to draft Embiid to keep the 3 open for a Lebron pursuit only to watch him spurn them again and watch Embiid turn into a homeless man's Emeka Okafor, right?

Well even setting aside that it's silly math considering he's only talking about those 3 specific lotteries rather than winning 3 lotteries out of all of the ones they've been involved in, he's fantastically wrong. I've got them at ~1 in 1676.

 

ETA: Thought he was talking about the LBJ draft, forgot they won with the Clippers pick. Why he's saying Cleveland had a 2.8% chance to get the #1 pick that year rather than 22.7% (The Clips and their spots combined chances) is beyond me.
