2 of the 3 teams with the best odds to get #1 finished out of the top 4...
Both would be considered "small market".
Somehow the Lakers are in the top 4.

For those who don't know, the draft order is still determined in a closed room. Transparency!

Interesting for me, the Celtics draft next year just got better thanks to Memphis going at #2.

The 2019 Associated Press College Basketball Player of the Year, Williamson was hoping to get selected by the New York Knicks, a source told ESPN's The Undefeated.
...
After it was announced the Pelicans landed the top pick, Williamson bolted out of the room without a verbal reaction.
It's not me, it's someone else.

And BR already ran a story last night saying Anthony Davis still wants to be traded away from the Pelicans.

NBA draft conspiracies.
It could easily be argued that last night's results benefited the NBA too.
#1 - The three teams with the best odds of getting the top pick got #3, #5, and #6.
NBA benefits because it proves tanking doesn't work. It also punishes the teams that tanked this year.
#2 - A small market team won.
NBA benefits because it looks like the draft wasn't rigged.
#3 - The Knicks and Lakers both have dramatically improved chances of landing AD.
AD wants out. Now the Knicks and Lakers have the #3 and #4 picks, respectively, to offer NO. Meanwhile, the Pelicans could try to pair Zion with one of the Duke guys or Murray.
#4 - NO looks to be in a much better place.
David Stern famously fucked over the Pelicans with the vetoed Chris Paul trade that wound up benefiting LA. was this the NBA's way of throwing them a bone? Especially with how terribly NO's season went this year off the court?
#5 - Memphis is the "See, this was legit!" team.
Memphis at #2 makes this all look legit because they're a small market team, didn't tank, and had no controversies or ties to the league office. They're the perfect team to stick in at #2.
