Being into conspiracy theories, myself, I've got to think that it's going to be either the Knicks or Lakers, even with New York's biggest fan no longer there to rig it for them.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see Miami get it, either.  Odds be dammed, and besides, how dare they suffer for an entire year, right (sarcasm) ::)?

I picked Detroit. They seem like a random enough team.
PHX Suns: Russell Westbrook, Chris Bosh, Tristan Thompson, Trevor Ariza, Tony Allen, Trey Lyles, Corey Brewer, Larry Nance Jr., Trey Burke, Troy Daniels, Joffrey Lauvergne, Justin Holiday, Mike Muscala, 14.6

I'm sadistically rooting for the Timberwolves.  Can't wait to see how they screw this one up. ::)

I hope it isn't the Sixers (tankers) or T'Wolves (who cares?).

I'd like to see New York get the #1 pick. Nice to see one of top young stars play in a major market for a change instead off somewhere where they get much less attention.

Ford thinks TWolves are the only team who has Okafor atop their board. Also said he has no clue as to whether Sixers keep trying to pick BPA instead of BPA at one of their 3-4 positions of need. It would be funny if they end up first and took Towns.

Biggest lottery news will be who gets lucky between the Lakers and Sixers.

I'm rooting for the Lakers to lose their pick, but I think that would require two teams leapfrogging them into the Top 3.

Do NOT want to see Philly winning it. Cannot stomach all the Hinkie fan-boys.... I hope the basketball gods punish them, and short of their bigs all suffering career ending injuries (which I never want to see any athlete suffer - not even a Laker) them falling to 10 or lower would be AMAZING.

I like to see small market teams win, and I have a warm spot for Wolves. Plus - if they win they may trade away Dieng to us AND they just might somehow help them go 13 or higher next year -thus giving up their pick to us.

Go Wolves !!!!

The TWolves, Pacers, and Jazz would make me have to shut up with my conspiracy belief for a year

Minnesota will win, select Towns or Okafor and years later everyone will wonder why they didn't take Justise Winsow or D'Angelo Russell.

I'd laugh ridiculously hard if the Thunder managed to win it.

Cleveland will swing a deal for the Thunder pick right before the lottery, and then promptly win it.

picked Orlando because of the teams that high in the order, they're the one that have one it 3 times with a prime-time big man coming out.  Shaq, Webber (traded for Penny) and Dwight.  with Towns and Okafor as the prizes this year, I'm half-expecting them to get the top pick yet again.
