Over and over and over and over again the odds just so happen to line up in the leagues best interests. Rose to Chicago, AD to New Orleans, LeBron to Cleveland, 5 lottery picks to Cleveland while LeBron left, Ewing to New York. Don’t be naive


Of course they stack it in favor, every league with a lottery does this sort of shit. Behind the scenes scheming to keep the big markets or top players happy while coming up with reasons why its not rigged, like the nhl and their representatives from Ernst & Young or w/e who do the drawing and give the results to the NHL and yet we constantly get teams like New York and Chicago and LA winning top picks. But if course, theres no collusion there

probably to spite Dolan, the league would definitely prefer that he sells the team

You should probably prioritize things that actually matter. Hating on Lebron isn’t one of those things
