I'm not conspiracy minded, but it's pretty hard to not be suss on this.

I watched it live and they were just opening envelopes from god knows where. It used to be ping pong balls like on a real lottery drawing so you can see it in action. With these envelopes there's so telling how the pick got in there

Watch the video you're responding to. This is the drawing.
They may theatrically reproduce it later but there is a reason E&Y rep and the speech happens at the beginning of the linked video. Billionaire money is on the line.

Who can defend this? Mavs fans? this is the final nail to the coffin and NBA just should 100% admit it because they aren’t hiding it anymore.

Raptors tanked and got 9th. Sixers were going for a championship and got the 3rd seed. SMH.

Jazz (the worst team) gets 5th. The lowest position they could get. I kinda knew it’s going to happen. This is ’fake af” lottery and I don’t understand why teams are even tanking. The odds for that whole top 3 is lower than 0.1%

If I'm Spurs I call up Milwaukee and talk about Giannis.
My God what a team the Spurs would have, also not a terrible exit from relevance for Milwaukee. It was inevitable, might as well go gracefully.

Bucks are one of my 2 teams and I gotta say if Giannis is going to go somewhere I hope it’s the Spurs. Really want to see how brutal that defense would be with the Giannis/Wemby combo.

Nooooo I want Giannis in the D :(

Flagg+ for Giannis?

What the absolute fuck. I was just done with being a Mavs fan. And truthfully I probably will be until they fire Nico
