Obviously we all want the Lakers to win the 2nd pick (I'd even take 3rd, no reason to be super greedy) and want that Brooklyn pick to not jump into the top 3 and end up as far back as possible, but of all the other teams out there, which one would you want to end up at #1 with Boston picking at 2 (and if at 3 who would you want at 1 and 2).

The most harmless teams to get #1 are Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas and Memphis.....

Not sure what order I prefer...

I don't mind Dallas and Memphis getting good again though even the #1 pick won't save Memphis from a coming rebuild.

I don't want the Suns getting #1 even though they're in the West.

Memphis, Dallas, Phoenix.....any of the Western conference teams really.  Let those guys continue to beat the crap out of each other rather than let another Eastern conference team load up on a stud.

And if I had to pick an Eastern Conference team, let it be the Bulls.  Living there, it wouldn't be the worse thing to see Ayton or Doncic up close.  Plus our old friend S.W. is still working for them.

I want the Hawks to get the top pick.  I feel bad for Coach Bud.

Why? Phoenix has a bunch of young players, but I'm not sure how many of them are good. I'm not impressed by Len, Bender, Chriss, or Jackson. Yes, Ayton would make them better, but how much better?

I'm fine with ORL, PHX, ATL, DAL, CHI, and MEM getting a top pick. I don't want Brooklyn or the Knicks getting a top pick. I love New York tears!

Yes, I would like that too. Seems to me that Atlanta has gotten bad more due to unfortunate circumstances than the other teams who are often badly managed. Teams like Phoenix and Orlando should do more with all the lottery picks they've received.

I would hate seeing Cleveland, Philadelphia or New York getting the 1st pick.

Dallas -- they have built many good teams since Cuban took over. Best chance for the top talent to be used correctly and be part of a winning team.

Of the tanking teams honestly i'm fine with anyone other than the Grizz or Kings.
We're likely getting both of their picks next season so I'd prefer they stay awful.

And if Celtics did luck into a pick between 2 and 5, then Sacramento is also harmless at #1.

I liked this question, so I looked at current lottery teams, and somewhat ranked them/put them in tiers:

Tier 1:
Utah: Good ownership/management.  Have they ever tried to tank?  Plus they're out West.  100% these guys!
   
Tier 2a:
Memphis:   Not a fan of management, like the grit and grind teams they built, don't like that they fired Joerger, what were they thinking with Parsons contract , bitter they didn't trade the C's Tyreke.
LA Clippers: Meh.  Management/ownership seems ok, especially since they took power away from Doc, but want to keep talent out of LA, lure of LA might be too great if team is good.

Tier 2b:
Detroit: Have tried to rebuild without tanking.  I'd be okay with them.  Lose points for being in the East.
Atlanta: Ownership/management is too new, don't know how I feel about them.  Lose points for being in the East.

Tier 3:   
Phoenix: I'm still bitter over Devin Booker's 70 point game.  Nope.
Dallas: Last few years they've been one of the teams I wanted to see get a good pick.  They go after good free agents, try to make the team better, loyal to Dirk, it just hasn't worked out.  Now we have that article about the horrific office culture.  Kinda want to stay far away from them now.

Tier 4:   
Orlando: Bad management/ownership.  Would be ownerships 4th #1 pick in 26 years. 4th top 5 pick in last 5 years.  Nope.
Sacramento: Bad management/ownership, plus need to keep them bad in case the Philly/Lakers pick doesn't convey.
Charlotte: Bad management/ownership
Chicago: Bad management/ownership
New York: Bad management/ownership

Tier 5:
LA Lakers: Goes to Philly, hell no. 2-5 yes please.
Brooklyn: Goes to Cleveland, hell no.  Even if LeBron leaves, their ownership is terrible, last thing these guys deserve is another #1 pick.
