the lottery obviously isnt going to prevent teams from tanking so it serves no purpose IMO. they could at least increase the odds for the bottom dwellers. It's ridiculous, but I don't think it's rigged. If it were don't you think they'd want the Celtics(big market team) to get the #1 pick?
They might want the C's, or a big market to get the #1 pick, but might not need them to in the sense that those markets are far more secure despite their mediocrity. Boston can survive with it's on again, off again winning/playoffs, whereas teams like Seattle can only absorb so much losing before they feel the crunch. Seattle has massive cash flow & attendence problems, whereas the C's have been banging out tickets over the years. To say it's wrigged is difficult though.
