Come on now, #2 ain't that bad. You wanted Irving? You already know Kahn wouldn't pick the best talent available anyways so prepare for an upgraded version of Darko next season.

I think they love the Cavs fans and how much they "care", maybe they didn't deserve the "Decision Show"... but what do I know.
2008: Bulls (1.9%)... bring in the #1 pick to draft the hometown kid.
2009: Clippers (third best odds)... big market with little success brings in the #1 pick.
2010: Wizards (10.3%)... another big market, need a PG and a face to take over since Gil tarnished the franchise.
2011: Cavaliers (2.8%)... one year after they lose the hometown hero.
Just seems weird. You have three BIG markets swooping in and getting the #1 pick, and then the Cavs who Lebron James supposedly "wronged".. and that's all in the past 4 years.
I'm not bold enough to say it's rigged, but I can't ignore some of these things.

I absolutely believe these three were fixed.
tonight? eh. no. this draft is pointless to fix in the first place, for anyone.

I don't think the draft was fixed, but given the way the Cavs got shafted last year and the fact they bought his son out there, it had all the makings of a "feel-good story", it's hard not to feel it might be rigged...

This dude Dirk, IMO he's the best scorer in the league. You can't stop him. Nobody can.

Remember a few weeks back when I said if Dirk keeps this up, he's there in the Malone & Barkely discussion? Well, yea, he's there...

3 big markets? Are you serious?
You're contending that Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Chicago aren't big markets?
