I think we just find ways to create controversies. Below are examples for each team as to what people would say if that team got the 1st pick:
BOSTON CELTICS: They got the 1st pick so that they can pick Austin Rivers, Doc River's son
BROOKLYN NETS: The Nets only have the 1st pick because they relocated
NEW YORK KNICKS: The NBA wants to add another good playa to the Knicks so that Kardashian can give him the rookie treatment. How does this help the NBA? I don't know.
PHILADELPHIA 76ERS: So that Philadelphia knows that it has an NBA team.
TORONTO RAPTORS: The NBA wants higher ratings in Canada
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS: Sadly, no one would complain about this actually. Why? Because everyone knows that they would either A) completely screw up the pick, B) trade it away, or C) pick a good player and then trade him for a 1st round pick. Sorry Warriors fans, you can never win. It is like an unwritten rule, and when that rule is broken (2007) there are punishments (2008-Present).
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS: Now that there are rumours that Odom could be going here, whoever they would pick with that number 1 pick would become a regular on that terrible show called Khloe & Lamar.
I am just going to come out with it, David Stern doesn't own the NBA, the Kardashians do.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS:
When the Lakers get a good player, they become contenders
When they become contenders, they win titles
When they win titles, we get mad
When we get mad, we go to Vancouver (you know what is coming)
When we go to Vancouver, we riot
[insert DirectTV part here]
PHEONIX SUNS: The NBA wants Nash to stay in Pheonix.
SACRAMENTO KINGS: [see the Golden State Warriors except worse]
CHICAGO BULLS: The NBA wants to add onto an already huge Chicago market.
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS: Because once Kyrie Irving realises that Cleveland really does suck, he will leave, and it will be on a 1 hour nationally televised event called I Am Sorry Cleveland, It Is A Right of Passage.
DETROIT PISTONS: Detroit watches everything, even bowling. Imagine the ratings the NBA would get if the Pistons had the #1 pick
INDIANA PACERS: So that Indiana can say they had the #1 picks in the NFL and NBA drafts.
MILWAUKEE BUCKS: Wisconsin teams have been good as of late, yes, even the Brewers (they went to the NLCS last season), but it seems as if the Bucks were left at the bus stop. A #1 pick would help them catchup.
DALLAS MAVERICKS: Because Mark Cuban would blame the refs if they didn't get the #1 pick.
HOUSTON ROCKETS: So that they can trade it along with all their other first round picks to Orlando for Dwight Howard, even though he would then leave them in free agency.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES: Memphis is a really small market. They aren't going to sign any free-agents. Having the #1 pick would help them get farther in the playoffs, which would increase ratings for the NBA.
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS: Tom Benson owns the Hornets, so if they didn't get the 1st pick, the Hornets would conduct their own bounty program. Tom Benson will use the 1st pick not to pick Anthony Davis, but to pick his unibrow. Why? So that opposing teams would have something to actually fear.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS: So that they can have a player who isn't above the age of 30.
ATLANTA HAWKS: So that Atlanta could get into the playoffs.
CHARLOTTE BOBCATS: David Stern sucked up to Air Jordan.
MIAMI HEAT: David Stern would rig the lottery for the Heat so that he could 1) See ESPN make a channel called ESPNHEAT that talks about the Heat and the Heat only? LeBron James and the #1 pick breathed? REPORT REPORT REPORT DISCUSS DISCUSS DISCUSS, 2) so that the Heat throw another huge party to introduce their pick, because he wasn't invited to the 1st one, and 3) so the rookie announces the pick on a 1 hour televised event called I Am Doing This To Troll Cleveland.
ORLANDO MAGIC: Honestly, David Stern spares us all because if the Magic did get the #1 pick their selection would give us all a headache over whether or not he'll sign, and it would last the whole season.
WASHINGTON WIZARDS: Because David Stern loves 'murica and its capitol.
DENVER NUGGETS: Because David Stern can't remember the last time the Nuggets had a star. Yeah, it would be Carmelo Anthony all over again.
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES: So that the Timberwolves would spend it on someone from Europe who could pair up with Rubio and as soon as both of them become free-agents they would go to Dallas to form a trio with Dirk dubbed Europeans Can Ball.
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER: Because David Stern wants the Thunder to draft someone then look the other way as the Thunder relocate to Branson, Missouri and become the Branson We Will Screw All Small Towns Over Once We Get A #1 Pick. Their logo would be a middle finger.
PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS: Because David Stern wants Portland to become the next Seattle.
UTAH JAZZ-Because the NBA wants another Deron Williams |

False.
We traded Vince Carter and cash for Antawn Jamison. Not a 1st rounder. |

3. *Texas education or *education the equivilent of a Texan
>calls my education terrible
>says since we are both american, we have no room to critisise each other's education
Nice hypocrisy. |
