DrReality Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 There have been several times when people have cried conspiracy when it came to the draft. Several that come to mind include New York getting the number one with Ewing, Cleveland with James and others. They might have been 'coincidence' but more likely it looks like David Stern pulled his strings behind the scene. Well with the state of the Hawks in crisis mode, my conjecture is that Stern will do the same for the Hawks this year in hope of pulling them through this crap. This may be crazy thinking, but crazier things have happened. As I've said before, Stern and the NBA need ATL for a lot of reasons. Its a big market, players love it and it is the hub of the southeast. For those reasons and more I think Stern will do his thing because all the crap going on with AS has got to be killing him. So how crazy is this idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 because we all knew that the hawks didnt need a 100th SF on the roster and that we needed a 5 like Bogut and yet we still didn't win the top pick, just as I suspect will happen again this year.

Nicholasp27 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 he didn't hand those to us they went 4th and later...we had worse record...no way he could have had us pick worse than 4th and there is no conspiracy...it's audited by several companies like money lotteries are...maybe back in the day with the 'frozen envelope' or whatever...but definitely not in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't be in the lottery if the following stay healthy from here on out. JJ, Smoove, Marvin, Chill, Shelden, and Solomon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
