Back in 2002 I worked in IT for a California sports management firm. They had several NBA players as clients as well as NFL and MLB. One of the guys that worked there told me that the NBA was fixed. Everything included the lottery. Their goal was to get the high market teams to be in the Finals for TV ratings. Refs that were calling games to make this happen. Not sure if this was his opinion or fact, but it seems likely based on stories like this

Do the entire thing over from the start in a back room with no cameras. Surprise! Magic get #1 the second year in a row despite having the lowest chance and Dallas drops to #4.
