That whole damn league is flim flam from the lotto, to calls on the court, to transactions...

really?? Well you do rep UVA but on the real, don't you think a league that depends on your money to stay afloat should at least have a little transparency when it comes to stuff like the lottery, asking for tax payer money for arenas, etc.???

I'm not disagreeing with you that it needs to be more transparent. My point is, if there is something going on, Stern's not saying shyt. Just like if you ask the CIA who killed JFK, they ain't saying shyt. Or they'll say Oswald, which is some bullshyt.

There has been alot of suspect shyt over the years and I remember when they use to actually show the lottery machine and the balls being picked and now they need to do that part in private? :shaq2:

They do it in a room with a rep from every lotto team.

Should the Hornets not have been eligible for the pick then?

Always entertaining to hear smart dumb nikkaz go off about conspiracy theories:mjpls:

Do you know how many people have to keep quiet which these days is damn near impossible

Would you have found it odd if the Bobcats (MJ), Cavs (Lost Bron), Nets (moving to NY), Kings (trying to stay in Sac), Was (Stern loved their owner that died a few years ago), Detroit (same as Was) won the lotto?

I don't know why people think Stern was being disrespectful. Stern answered a dumb question with a "loaded question" to show Rome it was a dumb question.

It's a response used by lawyers as a rhetorical device. You can't answer the question either way without admitting guilt.

Rome was more upset being told he makes a career on "cheap tricks like [this]."

These cats already used that when they got the John Wall pick

Rome played himself in that interview and he knew it, which is why he starting copping a plea immediately. It's a silly question with no merit. I mean what did he expect Stern to say "Yes it was fixed, I'm just glad that someone finally asked me."? The only way you ask that question is if you have evidence to support the the idea that it was fixed. You don't just throw the question out there with nothing to support it other than "some people just want to know". That was a third degree sonning.
