David sterns reason for vetoing the trade was because the trade would have made a hornets a good team but not a title contending team that wouldn't get any where which would decrease the value of the team. It was a huge deal since they were in the process of being sold

[@insertjokeh3r3]

Not all drafts are rigged but when they want to push a story or whatever like bron to Cleveland the “hometown” hero or to pay a team back for whatever reason they make sure certain teams get that number 1.

[@brooksorlando4510]

That's the way I view it. If there is no reason to rig it, they won't. But having a lottery gives them flexibility to rig it when they choose to

[@macalloway1]

Look what the Pistons are going through. They played. Often are talent was injured but to do a 28 game losing streak is beyond anyone saying you’re tanking. They just don’t have enough talent and experience. And they aren’t built very well. I’m almost glad they got #5 again. Trade the pick for experience at the stretch 4 or a 3 and D, 2 guard.
