The 2017 NBA Draft Lottery

This draft class should be a great one for the big market teams as the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers managed to get into the top three. The Suns dropped from two to four in a potential three starplayer draft.

This draft lottery could have very likely been fixed. It gives Boston another potential star. It basically gift wraps Lonzo to the Lakers. And it makes Sam Hinkie look like a genius for the pick swap.

I believe there’s a strong chance that this lottery was fixed. The NBA wants to renew the Celtics-Lakers rivalry and this makes it apparent. It’s almost too easy to pinpoint as fixed as I can’t find a way to make it seem like it’s not fixed.

Verdict – The Patrick Ewing Frozen Envelope’s sequel
