    You basically mean teams like Raptors, Miami, Cleveland, and Nuggets were tanking and lost games on purpose just to get lebron while knicks won games yet will still get him? LOL

    New York is in the lottery meaning they have a ping pong ball in the machine. If their ping pong ball comes up first then they will receive the #1 pick in the draft.

    Basically if knicks don't get the 1st pick they will get the 9th..if pistons don't get a top 3 pick we will likely get the 6th.....after the top 3...4,5,6,7 onwards goes by poorer record from each team..most teams who have the lowest picks already know where their pick goes.

    because they think the lottery is fixed and the NBA wants to cash in on LeBron by having a high profile team like the Knicks win the rights to him
