    Seems like a lot of people who lack success always find a way to blame it on something or someone else.

    What about the New Jersey Nets??? They were 2-0 vs the Kings that year. People forget that. The Nets were the team that actually got screwed.

    It could be rigged, nowadays its a bunch of ping pong balls that I do believe the GM's or a representative of the team watch's as the events take place. Every GM or president that was present the knows what pick they got a good time before it is announced on television but they are not allowed to say anything. KP knew before telling Roy to go up and represent the Blazers, that we already had the #1 pick. The way it is setup now is the team with the worst record only has a 25% of winning, so 75% of the time they won't get the #1 pick.
    Khan is pissed his team didn't win it and as usual when he gets pissed he says shit before he stops to think.

    Kahn is pissed because he won't be able to draft Irving; another point guard would have rounded out the Wolves roster nicely. Perhaps they can take Kemba Walker.

    I tried to use him to get some information on John Edwards (he was the chair of the oregon campaign) back when he lived in PDX for a school project, and he was incredibly odd. I didn't get far talking to him, mostly because he refused to communicate through anything but snail mail. Little did I know that he was an NBA executive and go on to preside over a long period of dismal Timberwolves teams. Not all together surprising.

    He might run the league better than Stern. I don't mind his yapping.
    Now how did I know, Mr. Status Quo, that you would side with authority and the system as it stands?

    I expect Minny to get fined, and one of their picks to be taken away now.

    It's easy to make up a conspiracy theory in reverse. If Toronto won, its because we lost Bosh. If Utah won, its because they lost Williams. If 'Sota won, its because they have never won before. The only fishy thing is that Cleveland won with Clippers' pick which is best case scenario because their own pick was guaranteed to be top 5.

    Bosh is the third wheel in Miami, meaning Cleveland losing an MVP is more devestating, and Utah already received compensation for Williams in the form of Derrick Favors and Devin Harris, plus the NJ #1 pick.

    So ... not so much. You actually lend credence to Kahn's complaint. :)

    I'm not so sure about that, the Nets ended up being swept by the Lakers, that same team that needed a league conspiracy to beat the Kings in 7 games.

    It's all hypothetical at this point, but I believe the Kings would of beat the Nets handily.
