Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
Guess they'll probably cut one and amnesty the other. If they can actually get anything for either...we'll have won the off-season

Anthony Davis has a chance to be good, but im not sold. Thomas could be a better player in the long run. But everytime I watch Kentucky play, always more impressed with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the guy is lockdown on defense, great size, decent scorer. A good friend who is a huge college b-ball fan said he was amazed Davis was out-hyping Kidd-Gilchrist, Gilchrist was hands down the better player.

Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
just go in order with the best team getting the first pick. Worst team in NBA history? 2011-2012 Charlotte Bobcats and they get a 25% chance of getting the first pick? That is not logical. Good thing I am a Mavericks fan.

I didn't have any suspicion about the draft until they decided to do the random drawing private. Yes, I agree the only reason televise it would be to appease those who are suspicious. I am sure that the NBA knows this. There must be a higher value to them than appeasing us "conspiracy theorists" since they are keeping it secret. I would like to know what that value is. |

Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
Im sure Stern kinda likes all the talk about conspiracy theories with the draft, but the notion this thing is rig is in the redunkulous territory.

Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
Thanks for the links. After reading the articles, combined with a lack of complaining from other NBA franchises about the secrecy of the random draw, I am convinced that it is probably legit. Now I can just focus on these UFO's - I KNOW those are real.

Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
David Stern asks Jim Rome, ‘Have you stopped beating your wife yet?’ in response to lottery-fixing question in radio interview | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports
What the hell is wrong with David Stern? Quote:

This guy has lost his mind. I did find the Stephen A. Smith bit funny, even though it was unprofessional as hell.

Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
I just heard it. I thought it was pretty hilarious.
Ill admit at first i thought Stern was just being a complete dick and not that the phrase is the classic example of a loaded rhetorical question. Im guessing the saying was more common back when Stern was a little younger. But as much as i hate Rome, what he asked was fair. 128 Wideo Wabbit 1956ef cedar - YouTube

Re: Hornets win draft Lottery; Wizards pick 3rd
Stern is not the most pleasant guy to converse with, but even that went beyond anything I'd ever heard him say. Way inappropriate in my opinion.
