2012 NBA Draft Thread

I personally feel Dwill will move to a contender, even if they do land Dwight it won't be enough to win a championship. They still need another key piece.

Anthony Davis will wear a Hornets uniform! Let the conspiracy theories begin!


Paul Jones ‏@Paul__Jones

Bill Simmons ‏@sportsguy33
So happy the NBA gave me a lifetime of new conspiracy jokes. Move over MJ/gambling + Ewing/frozen envelope, there's a new sheriff in town!

New Orleans Hornets get the first pick due to "Basketball Reasons"


Rip Hamilton ‏@ripcityhamilton

they were at 13.8%. You'd think under the circumstances they'd do everything possible to make it even appear to be legit

  • For it to be fixed, the other 13 teams would have to be in on it. So would the independent accounting firm and the selected media members who witnessed it. The call for "fix" would have been made on 2-3 other results including Nets and Kings. The Hornets have been sold. There was no pre-arranged deal - no need for any prearranged deal. The league has to approve the sale but it was made without an underhanded deal that would involve colusion from the other 13 teams.

haha! I just said something similar in another thread!

I don't believe in hanging someone based on speculation, so I lean towards it not being rigged. And this guy is quite logical in thinking exactly how they would need to do it!
 
So easy for them to do it on live tv rather than behind closed doors to avoid any speculation at all.

Computers are pretty handy these days at number crunching too. They could generate new percentages of getting the no.1 pick after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ball get picked on live tv. Instead, the NBA do it behind closed doors with only a selected few to watch...makes no sense.
