The NBA Draft Lottery is drawing nearer. The lottery teams are starting to dream about getting the number one pick in the Draft. A Draft that is of big importance to many teams. Most notably the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.
Now if you haven’t seen the Draft Lottery, it’s basically like a normal lottery you get to watch people watching it. Some of them you have seen before so it’s just that much more exciting.
Sarcasm over, the team representatives have been announced. Including Larry Bird representing the Pacers, Nerlens Noel representing the Sixers (replacing Julius Erving) and Russell Westbrook representing the OKC Thunder.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Glen Taylor (Owner)
New York Knicks: Steve Mills (General Manager)
Philadelphia 76ers: Nerlens Noel (Player)
Los Angeles Lakers: Byron Scott (Head Coach)
Orlando Magic: Alex Martins (CEO)
Sacramento Kings: Vlade Divac (VP, Basketball & Franchise Operations)
Denver Nuggets: Josh Kroenke (President)
Detroit Pistons: Jeff Bower (General Manager)
Charlotte Hornets: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Player)
Miami Heat: Alonzo Mourning (Vice president, Player Programs)
Indiana Pacers: Larry Bird (President of Basketball Operations)
Utah Jazz: Dennis Lindsey (General Manager)
Phoenix Suns: Alex Len (Player)
Oklahoma City Thunder: Russell Westbrook (Player)
An assortment of names there. Some you know, some you probably don’t. But the representatives don’t exactly matter. It’s the last team name that comes up, that’s what they’re going for.
It is also about finding out if you think if the results are going to be a fix? Even I thought the countless Cleveland Cavaliers wins smelt fishy. But are you going to watch the Los Angeles Lakers get the number one pick and shout “THE FIX IS IN!”. It’ll most likely be the Knicks or the Timberwolves, but any other team and you people will probably shout the word “fix”. I guarantee that.
