Once again in the NBA there can be more than a few teams who feel wronged due to the NBA's current draft process. I mean is there really any reason why the Chicago Bulls, who have good players, but just decided not to show up this season, deserve to get the number one pick in the NBA Draft over say the Milwalkee Bucks?
This is the NBA where projected stars are usually clearly identified. Michael Beasley and/or Derrick Rose, more than likely, will both be good players, if not super-stars. In the NFL, no one would be too surprised if Matt Ryan is a complete bust, or if Chris Long couldn't sack a drunk Britney Spears.
Point being that one of these players could completely alter any franchise for the next 10 years. i think it would only be right that the worse teams get the best possible position in the draft. Why hasn't the NBA figured this out? It's silly to think your keeping the draft exciting by the possibilities with the current "ping-pong" lottery system.
I understand they would have a potential problem with teams tanking games which is another dilemma. But, at least, the teams most in need would get the proper draft position. It's not like teams aren't already losing on purpose. We all watched the scandalous Miami Heat organization tank the season, in HD!, and got rewarded with Beasley or Rose. That's an another issue in itself.
With the leagues wacky salary-cap structure, the only way bad teams can really get better is through the draft. For the sake of the league's integrity of the overall product, they need to guarantee that all teams have a true opportunity to be able to compete. This starts with the draft. I don't think the good people of Minnesota, Memphis and New York want to hear about luck, or some one-to-a-million odds being the reason their team has no shot at Beasley or Rose given the seasons they had to stomach.
That was crazy how it worked out. I know Chicago did not expect that to happen.
Yes it was definitely a shocker... the funny part was when i believe the GM said that after the season they had "they need a break" or something like this to happen. I just thought wow.

Whoever gets the coaching job has quit the challenge on their hands. In my opinion, none of the players are safe.

Do you prefer fresh flowers or faux blooms? Recentely i would have said fresh, until my hayfever went crazy at the slightest glimpse of a fresh flora. Nature i suppose has to take revenge for the environmental damage. But seriously, there is a new generation of hand crafted fake flower, that look like the real thing. They are scented in subtle tones. Very hard to tell apart from the genuine article.
Empathy is the ability to identify or sense what another person is feeling. It is like seeing through someone else’ s eyes. Empathy should not be confused with compassion, which is the desire to alleviate the suffering of another, and sometimes contains empathy, but really goes beyond it. You can act compassionately even when you do not empathize with a person’ s emotional state or situation.
