What's up with the second worst team in the league getting the 5th highest draft pick???

If this were football they would get the #2 pick . . . period! No lottery B.S.

If I had any speck of interest remaining in basketball, it's gone now.

All those games that the Celtics tanked last season didn't help as much as we all liked.

It was a draft system developed in hopes that poor teams would at least try to win games near the end of the long season.

The worst team got the 4th pick... The 3rd worst got the 6th I think.

Great system! Thankfully I have no interest in Basketball.

No one.... until their team is good, then it's suddenly the best sport around.

I did, until the suspensions in the Sun vs. Spur series. I am not watching any remaining games in the playoff. It is such a BS league!

i think Stern had to uphold the rule. it's black and white.

I, on the other hand, like the NBA. Watching the Warriors/Mavs series was like watching 80's basketball. It was good stuff. I'm also a Trailblazers fan, so i'll be happy to see Oden bring Rip City back to prominence again.

Did anyone see the matrix to determine the lottery spots? It's pretty crazy, but i think utilizing the lotto system to just determine the top three picks is ridiculous.

The Celts deserved better.
