Have the Wolves EVER had the pingpong ball come up such that they picked better than their reverse standings would have them?

The lottery is dumb. I don't see why they can't do the draft like every other league

Krack this game open, Kurt!

No... One year they had the 2nd best odds and ended up drafting 37th.

There were too many teams losing too many games on purpose to get better draft position. The tanking was totally out of control so the league made it harder to predict the result of sitting out all your good players in March.

Tanks for that... Great explanation... Tank you

I think they still do.

 

I agree with Tibs...the lottery is dumb.

 

But then again, it's the NBA, so it's not like a care. At all.

Back in the day my Iron Maiden shirts always seemed to get "lost" in he laundry. I'm sure my mother kept throwing them out - I have no idea what she had against them.

 

(If any of my kids had them, they wouldn't get "lost". They would be confiscated and cut up in full view of the owner.)

Pro basketball> coma

Well that's just pathetic. I guess having a lottery is better than that. Still don't like it though

In all seriousness... If elected commissioner of Baseball... I'd install relegation immediately.

 

If your team finishes last... Down to AAA it goes.

I thought I was doing a good job of tempting fate..

[Richie the Rally Goat]

What kinda of coma? Like Thanksgiving food coma, drug induced to avoid injury coma, or full on catastrophic traumatic brain injury coma?
