ESPN FIRST TAKE | Stepehn A.: Knicks win No. 3 pick in NBA Draft (had 14% chance to win No. 1 pick) 

It definitely was rigged is not a coincidence that New Orleans got #1 pick and the Lakers got the # 4 pick it was all rigged to help LEBRON get AD and for new Orleans can start making a trade deal with the Lakers again and they won't be mad cause they got ZION. How do we know we didn't see the lottery ball machine take place. RIGGED AT IT'S FINEST.

@@monk3070 Exactly. I was completely shocked asf. Like damn, neither the Bulls, Cavs, Suns were even in the top 4. I'm not a Knicks fan but Adam Silver really fucked the Knicks and other teams

The Basketball Gods hate New York.

That's the goal of Adam Silver on changing the draft lottery odds. Because they don't want another tanking like what the 76ers did, and to help the middle-of-pack teams get to playoff contention by improving draft odds.
