Hint:NBA Rigging Lottery To Give Knicks #1 Pick

[GOBB]

Yao went to Houston, because Houston is a major city and has a large asian population and because his handlers made it clear before the Draft he wouldn't play in certain cities, like Memphis for example.

LeBron went to Cleveland because Cleveland couldn't get any lower than the 3rd pick due to their poor season and because Akron is nearby to Cleveland, which makes it seem like the "Hometown Kid" story.

I asked you to save your weak excuses/reasoning. I want to know why New York City got snubbed for these 2 marquee talents who are more marketable than Ricky Rubio ever will be. Why are you rigging the draft for Rubio and not Lebron James and Yao Ming? You realize the financial impact either player could have as a Knick? Of course not. It just conflicts with your silly theory the NBA lottery is rigged.

How do you actually sit there and try to bullshyt me on why Stern & company do not rig the draft for these two talents. You can not think of anything reasonable to say besides "You know what GOBB? Maybe its not rigged.".

I mean Lebron wasnt even the only big name in that draft. Just look at hype, Darko (pfft), Melo and Wade. Even Darko had some minor arguments that he should go before Bron. The euro KG. Carmelo history was well documented. Brons hs rival so to speak, had an amazing freshman season (top 10 of all time) leading the Cuse to a national title. Why didnt the NBA give this franchise one of those names to support how its rigged?

Like lets take your silly reasons in the quote as truth. For fun lets say the NBA rigged the lottery for Houston and Clevland. Cool. Why doesnt the NBA rig it so NY can land Melo, Wade or Darko? Again please hold your weak excuses/reasoning. Thank you.

Knicks last picked #1 in 85, and have only had 5 Lottery Picks since 1985.

And how many times in the lottery did the Knicks draft within the top 3? You can not argue the draft is rigged when its NEVER helped the NY franchise. Which is the most used franchise for why the NBA would rig a draft. Why does the NBA not rig the lottery before in the Knicks favor but this draft? THIS draft? Oh they will. What makes this draft more special than the past lotteries the Knicks have been in? Ricky Rubio is a nice talent but when you take all the top talent since the Knicks have had lottery picks and throw Ricky Rubio name in the mix? He isnt even a top 5 prospect/talent.

Nobody has yet to mention Chris Paul, and to answer your question the Knicks werent in the 2005 NBA Draft Lottery and Starbury was their PG at the time.

The Knicks took Channing frye at 8. Chris Paul went 4th.

GOBB arrives in a thread,posts nonsense,argues the nonsense, and then takes a nap before repeating the process.

I didnt post nonsense my friend you did. I challenged your conspiracy theory and you cant even give me a solid answer to why during the times Knicks have been in the lottery they NEVER won it nor was given a top 3 slot. I think the Italian rookie from last years draft was the highest lottery pick since Pat Ewing. Could be wrong much like how you were about NYK not being in the 2005 NBA draft. So you can correct me since I've done numerous jobs correcting you ok? Ok.

I seriously hope your pacemaker stops.

And i seriously hope you one day give some serious thought to the threads you create. All I ask for. Not even a hard task.

Man oh man...now there is talent worth tanking for. If people think Rose is an explosive for a PG wait until they see this kid. Nicely skilled player as well. I can't wait to see him play NCAA ball.

I cant wait to see him play. Lots of hype with this kid. Watching highlight videos and not actual game footage doesnt suit me well. With Rose I was able to see a couple high school games. But most importantly a college season to really give an opinion on how talented he was/could be.

[GOBB]

Apparently you are a moron with no sense of Geography.

Seacaucus is LITERALLY 5 miles from Madison Square Garden..

Just admit it, you didn't know this and made a stupid thread.

It's ok..people will forget eventually

True that. In fairness I'm going off multiple scouting reports, in lieu of first hand viewing, so they could just be feeding me a line of bull****. That said the little I have seen has been spectacular, and all the review from trusted people has been glowing.

You know what GOBB, the Lottery isn't rigged.

Keep arguing with yourself.

I'm done discussing this until May 19th, I may be right due to my suspicions of how the NBA places certain picks with slotted players with certain teams in the Lottery.

I might be wrong and the Wizards,Kings,& Grizzlies end up with the top 3 picks.

However with the NBA fans and media members fueling hype the Knicks will make a run at LeBron in 2010 and sign him in 2010 it would make sense if they landed a marketable PG in Rubio who could excel in their offense on a Knicks team that isn't so far off from being a Playoff contendor next season.

the knicks

Why are you such a useless poster? Why would you waste our time, and come in this thread just to write that? I wasted 2 seconds reading your post that I'll never be able to get back. You're bitter... Knicks>>YOU+PHILLY

[flipogb]

In New Jersey.

Fail.

the actual draft is in New York, I dont know why anyone would
automatically assume the lottery is there too

and as for it being rigged, if it was, GS or LA Clippers wouldve gotten 1st pick
when Yao came out

[GOBB]

You know what GOBB, the Lottery isn't rigged.

I made you see the light

Keep arguing with yourself.

No I'll point out errors in your post and correct you which I've done. Thats why you have little to say back in response.

I'm done discussing this until May 19th, I may be right due to my suspicions of how the NBA places certain picks with slotted players with certain teams in the Lottery.

You're not right. For every argument you give for a team winning it I can counter it with how another team would make more sense to have that particular pick. Fans like conspiracy theories. This is no different than fans thinking playoff performance has a factor in deciding the MVP. Yet votes are in at the final regular season game in the NBA. But since the NBA decides the winner latter in the postseason fans just assume it factors. And even when you break down this logic I just presented to you they still believe in thier conspiracy theory.

I might be wrong and the Wizards,Kings,& Grizzlies end up with the top 3 picks.

The thing is if NY doesnt win the lottery you'll give a reason to why just like you did the past lotteries NY was in and didnt win. You'll always have excuses.

However with the NBA fans and media members fueling hype the Knicks will make a run at LeBron in 2010 and sign him in 2010 it would make sense if they landed a marketable PG in Rubio who could excel in their offense on a Knicks team that isn't so far off from being a Playoff contendor next season.

With Lebron you dont need a marketable PG. Heck for fun if they got Lebron chances are they would land another top free agent pick. If NY won the lottery I would trade the pick. Get some proven, established players to surround your marquee FA signings Lebron and _____ (whoever else). You're guranteed success instantly with Bron but if you can build around him as well and use that #1 pick as bait to do so? I'm all for this personally.

and as for it being rigged, if it was, GS or LA Clippers wouldve gotten 1st pick
when Yao came out

Why is that?

Outside of asian populations both were historically bad teams, and the Clippers havent won a Lottery since 1998.

Chances are that Yao's handlers would've balked at him playing for such a bad Warriors team at the time before the 2002-2003 season.

I think Yao with the Clippers would've been great but Houston was the perfect fit as the heir to Hakeem.

I made you see the light

Nah you actually wanted me to post that.

But Im done discussing the conspiracy theory for now, we'll see on May 19th whether my suspicions were right or were wrong regarding the Knicks.

[LJJ]

Hehe. All the teams sending GM's, the head coach or the president and the Timberwolves just sending Kevin Love.

Link to this?

Kevin McHale is bad luck.

Kevin Love could be pretty lucky, hopefully Minnesota doesn't land the #1 pick because it would put his job in jeopardy.
