If only the Clippers would lose their playoff spot to the Warriors!
Then we would surely see Greg Oden in L.A. The Clippers are automatic when it comes to the lotto. |

I would love to see Oden, Durant and Brewer stay in school if for no other reason than to screw the Celtics. Bad FO decisions and tanking should not be rewarded.
OT: Like JVG said, ALL teams should have equal shot at #1. You hear that Danny Ainge!  |

That would not be a good thing for Laker fans.

Talk about making a GM's life harder or easier pending draft...
But at least teams wouldn't tank anymore.

You're right. We'd have to endure Petros Papadakis mouthing off for 10 years, but at least the Celtics wouldn't get him. I agree 100% with Texas Pete, tanking should not be rewarded. |

The lotto is a protection against tanking, so teams do tank at their own risk. |
