I'm curious as to why you would think that's true?You didn't watch the 2002 NBA playoffs, did you?

Look on the bright side gang, at least it wasn't The Lakers.
Or not. Maybe the NBA is targeting for 1 small market team to make it to the top. Come on...they can't be that lucky...LeBron, Irving, and multiple other draft picks in the last couple years.
There's no way in hell that it's a coincidence. I wonder why such a push for Cleveland

@SHowardCooper: Just filed to http://t.co/X75SPTIUSC: Kings put No. 8 on the trade block, wanting veteran instead of next rookie to develop. Link to come.
Cousins is planning his ticket out of Sacramento.
**** our lives.
I would prefer it be the Lakers, at least we know they will be good sooner than later and will be out of the lotto quickly, a small market constantly being rewarded and doing nothing, while other small markets like us constantly get the shaft makes me sick.
It's not fixed. It's an idiotic accusation. Still hate the Cavs though.
I'm on the "Trade The 8th Pick" bandwagon

That doesn't make any sense: the gd lakers are going to be good sooner than later, because they're the gd lakers, and they always get who they want. You want them to be able to get the premier free agents, and the top draft prospects?I would prefer it be the Lakers, at least we know they will be good sooner than later and will be out of the lotto quickly, a small market constantly being rewarded and doing nothing, while other small markets like us constantly get the shaft makes me sick.
There needs to be a rule if you get a top 3 pick for the next 3 years you can't get a top 5 pick, force the franchise to actually try make trades or do something instead of relying on young talent and tanking.
Good. That's what I've wanted them to do since last June, anyway; we should be trying to trade prospects for proven guys.Apparently we want to trade the pick. Makes some sense.

What small market team got the shaft? So, Milwaukee didn't get the Number One pick, teams with the worst record almost never get the Number One pick. They still, technically, "won" the lottery, when you consider that the lottery is only to determine the top three picks. Obviously, Cleveland is the big winner but, aside from them, who didn't get the pick they were supposed to get?
Cousins is planning to leave, based on us not getting a Top Three pick? Are there really people here who actually thought we were going to?Cousins is planning his ticket out of Sacramento.

Is it, though? I get why people were salty when we had the worst record, and ended up with the fourth pick. I get why people were salty when we had the second-worst record, and ended up with the fifth pick. I don't really get why people are salty when we had the seventh-worst record, and ended up with the eighth pick.I get where you're coming from, but it's easy for the forum to feel salty over what just happened. No need to explain to you why the lottery is such a glimmer of hope for a team such as the Kings, and instead of remaining even just neutral, the Kings were shafted... again.
Cite?Yeah, Cousins.
