Them. I guess the Clips could have saved even more money since Yao's contract was insured. LOL if you're gonna sell your pick away you try to get the max amount of money you can get, Clips instead saddled themselves with Mo Williams.
No way we would've ended up with the #1 pick, Stern and Major Sports media hate Houston, and that goes for every sport. We could've bought and traded for the top 14 picks, and still wouldn't of ended up with the #1 Pick.
Question is, would Stern give it to us? I still think the Cavs would have won the lottery regardless but good chance we could have moved into the top 3 (given market, team, etc).
This is the first time any team has moved up past the bottom five, what's with all the conspiracy theories? Is it because Cleveland is such HUGE market that Stern couldn't pass up this opportunity to get them a franchise PG lol?
In case u didn't know it, the rockets have won the lotto more than any team in the history of the nba. In fact,I think the rckets have had the 1st pick more than any team.
