Will the 2015 Lottery be rigged?

 After last year, when Boston and LA both did not crack the top 5 and even slipped, I actually would be surprised with that outcome. Though I do believe the league does not want to reward Philly with the first pick, if you want to still believe in a rigged system. If you want to get crazy, one could wonder if maybe the league knew LeBron was going home/he told someone, so they got that first pick to CLE to create something more there insuring their playoff chances and quickly (not that it’s working out that way).

The NBA is a billion dollar business. Yes it is fixed to increase profit. Bulls get home town kid Rose in 2008 with a 1.7 percent chance. Lebron leaves, 2011 Cavs win with 2.8 percent chance. Cavs win in 2014 with a 1.7 percent chance. Now Lebron returns with lots of young potetntial superstar talent to try and win the Clevland Cavs championships over the next 5-7 years. Sounds like quite the narrative to sell.

i don’t think the sixers are going to win either the knicks ,bos,minn,cha or the pacers are going to win.

these are them teams who need to win it the most so the league will give it to them they don’t care about philly.

 The Knicks were in the top 10 in both 2008 and 2009 but never got a top 3 pick and last year the Lakers missed out on a shot at one of the top 3 so I don’t quite buy into the fix but it is alwaysa fun debate.

As a Phoenix fan can it be fixed so Lakers come 6th and we get the pick?

So sick of this. You can make up stories and narratives for every single team as to why the NBA would want to get them the top pick and thus it is rigged.

There is just so many obvious reasons it is not rigged it always makes me confused how people can honestly believe a multi-billion dollar scandal is happening and somehow the only people who are aware of it are fans on the internet.

 No. Although it’s fun to believe these types of things, there’s just too much risk of getting caught and not enough reward to justify the risk. Also, I can’t imagine such a conspiracy happening without the consent of all of the NBA owners, and I can’t imagine all of the NBA owners consenting to such a scheme.

Confirmation bias. It’s easy to think the draft is rigged if you remember only the ‘suspect’ results and forget all the others.

It should be pretty easy to show the system is fixed. Any statistician out there?

no one can tell me the cavs getting kyrie wasn’t rigged. A year after you lose LeBron you win kyrie with the 9th pick? then two more number ones somehow one of those was rigged point blank. We are acting like ppl never broke rules and there was never sports scandals by the organization and front offices.
