2003 (the reason this post was made), certainly was one I'd suspect. If I had a time machine... I'd hoist Bron on the Raptors. Or better yet, the Timberwolves. That is if they were nearly as suck as the Cavs were that season.

Though there was a bit of a flap thereabouts with all the craziness with moving Chris Paul out of NOLA and the team having league ownership... some might suspect it being part of a "package deal". But nah... Stern already saved face by vetoing the Lakers deal and making up for Donald Sterling's idiocy but a season earlier with the Clippers.

The lottery just complicates something that shouldn't be complicated. Tanking to ensure a high draft pick, even in the NBA, doesn't ensure that the team is going to be good or win a title just because it has TBPA. There are just too many factors that go into the relative "good" of a team.

I think this is just more madness that stems from LeBronies had to watch their Lord and Savior on a team they wouldn't ever root for.

I'm all for the abolishment of the lottery. If only because the reasons it was instilled was some BS in the first place.
