"Yo Benson, I promise you that if you buy this franchise off me I can get you the 1st overall pick this year" - David Stern.
2011: Cleveland lose Lebron, Cleveland gain 1st overall
2012: New Orleans lose CP3, New Orleans gain 1st overall
Ok something is suss about this "Lottery" guys...
PS: I honestly think Charlotte should've just been given the 1st pick by default, their entire team is just that crap...
You forget the year Cleveland actually Drafted LeBron. They had the same record as the Clippers, after trading Andre Miller to the Clippers to tank games, and make Clippers good enough to not lose more than them. Cavs got #1 and got "Hometown" LeBron James. Clippers got screwed enough where they couldn't get Darko, Carmello, Wade, etc.
