Maybe the dumb ass has a long term plan after all? If not, a good sense of humor! http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/knicksblog/nba_may_fine_timberwolves_gm_for_OA04XsBGG0PgHKzkXdb2QM |

He's a butthead but part of me thinks he may not be wrong.

The last time the cavs were in the lottery they snag the #1 pick, the very next time they go, they do it again.. 14 year old boy..yeah ok... This is a lottery, the chances of hitting the jack pot twice on consecutive trips..wow.. http://davidbaldacci.com/writing/novels/the-winner good book...goes behind the seen about those little ping pong balls and the lottery business..

I can only respond by saying that if the lottery were really fixed, a large market team would win it every year.

There was no bigger cry out off "the lottery was fixed" as it was when the Knicks got Patrick

I'm not saying its impossible just highly unlikely...you buy a $1 lottery tic...and get every # right come back the very next week and do the same thing...really... Even if the Ewing pick seem suspect it was good for the league..so is the cavs becoming relavent..it would bethe biggest rivalry in sports if lbj remains a heat and the cavs are back in the race ES
