Everyone saying the draft wasnt rigged or the NBA would never do this, is looking at it in a vacuum.
Dallas getting the #1 pick this year, sure it could happen. They had a 1.8% chance.
But, for this to continue to happen has to be a super miniscule chance of happening.
I've seen a lot of arguments against the theory saying other teams wouldnt agree to it, but 1) Im not so sure they wouldnt, and 2) Im not so sure it would matter. The NBA propping up certain teams is still good for the overall league, and it continues to bump up the bottom line. At the end of the day, the NBA and its teams are businesses and the the bottom line > team success.
