draft lottery tonight

what exactly are the specifics of Detroit keeping their pick?

They have approximately and 82.5 of keeping their Pick

2.8% of #1
3.3% of #2
3.9% of #3
72.5% of #8
18.5% chance of losing their pick to Charlotte.

So if any of the teams in the lottery with a better record than the Pistons pull a top 3 pick they have to give up their pick unless they also score a top 3 pick.

Remind me why they might have to give it up.
 
Passes on Burke last year. Makes stupid trade that costs Pistons 2014 lottery pick in the best draft class in 10 years. Makes signings and tries to go for the 8th seed in a year with the best draft class in 10 years....

I would clown stomp Dumars if he were right in front of me.
 
Thanks Joe for the 1 title.... But it should have been 4 titles you idiotic dumbbell......
 
If it were rigged the Cavs wouldn't have won.

True, it probably would have been the Celtics or Lakers if it was rigged...which also would've been beneficial to the Pistons.

The real question...why wasn't it rigged?

So when do they make a rule limiting how many #1 picks these shit teams get within a 10 year period. Holy fuck.
 
It's 100% rigged, there is zero reason not to pick the balls in front of the camera other than fixing it. Cleveland had a 1 in 2000 chance of winning 3 years out if four and they did just that.

they pick the #1 ball first. They want to go backwards for TV viewing purposes. Like we said...if it were rigged why would they have the Cavs winning?
 
Mike Valenti tweet:

Cavs chances in 2011: 2.8%
Cavs chances in 2013: 15.6%
Cavs chances in 2014: 1.7%

Chances to get #1 in ALL THREE of those years? .007426%

I'm sorry, but whether or not you think it's fishy, that's some real odd happening.

odd things happen all of the time. There have been people that won the lottery twice which would be like a trillion to one. Shit happens.
 
joe dumars continues to curse this organization even after hes gone. What a fuck...
