Roads? Where we're going we don't need any roads

The NBA held its annual Draft Lottery last night. The lottery system was introduced in 1985 which saw the infamous pick of Patrick Ewing go first overall to the Knicks. This draft is under great debate as many feel it was rigged. The theory goes: David Stern had the Knicks envelope frozen so he could feel it when he reached into the bin, thus giving the then floundering league a shot in the arm by sending a franchise player to a major market. The lottery uses ping pong balls with a weighting system and the team with the worst record has a 25% chance of receiving the #1 pick. The team with the best chance of winning the pick was the Sacramento Queens. In a peculiar move to test karma the Maloofs sent Chris Webber on the organizations behalf? C-Webb? Didn’t this man’s contract and knee injury basically shackle the franchise? I digress. Anyways the Clippers aka NBA’s wasteland won the lottery with the Grizz and the WNBA’s Thunder coming in second and third respectively (See full results below).

Now I believe the Clippers should be paging Doc Brown because they already have a head case and a completely immoveable contract in Z-Bo at the four. Not to mention their roster also boasts Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby. Needless to say they have a glut of mediocrity in the front court. Dunleavy needs to call up Doc Emmett Brown and borrow his Delorean so he can go back in time and rescind the B-Ditty signing and Z-Bo trade. This would give them the option of drafting either Rubio (pairing him with Gordon in the backcourt) or Griffin. Dunleavy was reached by phone shortly after the lottery and committed to Blake Griffin. Being a Raptors fan and looking at some of the tentative Mock Drafts they have a few options. One being Stephon Curry but apparently the Knicks are in love with him, and why not the man plays negative defense has minimal upside but is a shooter. Essentially a cheaper Jason Kapono. Tyreke Evans out of Memphis is another possibility who could run the up tempo style the Raps desire though can’t hit an open jump shot if his life depended on it.
