I think the lottery was a great idea because its reasonably based on statistics. Its a pity it hasn't worked out for the teams that have tried the hardest to take a dive at the end of the season, but over the next 100 years, rest assured, the net outcomes will most likely fit the bell curve appropriately. 
I also think Jerry West should stfu. Pao Gasol was injured so they lost a lot of games. He fired his [very capable] coach early on when their star was injured (moronic, but probably to trash the season to get Oden or Durant anyways), and it backfired. Boohoo. West may have been a fantastic player, and a fantastic GM, but now he's a fantastic whiner. (and is quitting the Grizzlies as well, so please West, grab a box of tissues and leave already.)
There's no reason the worst team should be guaranteed the top couple picks. There are too many games in a season for a lousy team to be able to purposely dive and try and manipulate the process in order to get the next 'superstar'.
And as for the Celtics...hahaha. :laugh: As long as Danny Ainge is running the show, they could have a 99.9% chance of getting the top pick and he'll still miss it.
