I prefer the way the NFL does it. No lottery. You get the pick based on your record and standings. The NBA Lottery is garbage.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Having the best odds to get the #1 pick played pretty significant role.

Boston still would've been #1 in the NFL system.

Yep. I prefer the non guaranteed contracts too in the NFL.

Thanks to the idiotic New Jersey Nets a few years ago.

At least the NFL has parity and is constantly competitive going into a season. The NBA, where the lottery is a fraud, players get guaranteed money, best friends team up together and super teams unite. Until LeBron retires or Golden State suffers a falling out of friendships, what's the point? We all know who's going to represent the East and West every season.

His first name is "Wyc" what did you expect?

Pretty sure he thought he was repping the Bruins up there.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

What a joke of a brand the NBA is. Make it any less obvious won't ya?

I hate that sly look on Magic's face. He literally thinks he's the s**t. Too bad the HIV hasn't caught up to him yet.

Odds. Right. Since the Suns had a 55% chance at a top 3 pick and the 2nd best odds at the #1 pick. Fuck odds. It's rigged. The NBA is a joke.

Standard Suns luck. Thanks for watching. We probably get 5 if you hadn't.

I say trade the ****ing pick. The players available at 4 really are terrible fits for the modern NBA game and our team. Can't shoot threes, domestic abusers, tweener guards, lazy defenders.

Ugh. Just ugh.

Trade the pick for something unprotected 10 years from now.
