What did they do? I'm not a big hockey fan, I'm just repeating some of what I've read. Anyway, we can only guess as to how the NBA would handle the situation. Regardless of what they did in the NHL, I'm only speculating on some of what I've been reading.



Anyway, I guess this is all pretty pointless if they get a deal done tonight. Hopefully that'll be the case.

Without looking it up, I believe what they did was allocate each team a lottery ball for each season they didn't make the playoffs. Those teams were then entered into the lottery. Most teams would be in this lottery as most teams did not make the playoffs in one of the last three seasons. Instead of your typical 14 teams, I would guess, it would therefore be more like 20 teams in the lottery. We would be one of those teams since we did not make the playoffs last season. The remaining teams (Lakers, Mavs, etc.) would then go in order based purely on record. Or something like that I think.
 
That 3-year average scenario would've been a nightmare for more teams than just us. Cleveland would be screwed and Miami actually would've had a decent pick.
 
....my agents tell me that if the season is cancelled....Jefferson gets drafted by the AND1 league and plays with "hot sauce"....and Gordan gets drafted and plays with the "Professor"!

So you are saying it has to be that way, correct?

I was just making a speculation comment on what was posted above. I don't know how it is suppose to play out, merely stating that if that scenario did play out it would be extremely unfair to a lot of teams.

If my "sources" are correct, Cleveland has the option of switching picks w/ Miami.
 
Scenarios for the 2012 draft:

Lose/Lose scenario: Jazz have no 1st round picks and the age-limit stays the same (or even worse - reduced)

No win/No lose scenario (AKA the "hello 2013 draft" scenario): Jazz have no 1st rounders, but the age limit is increased

Win/Lose scenario: Jazz have 1 or 2 first round picks, but the age-limit is increased

Win/Win scenario: Jazz have 2 first round picks and the age-limit stays the same

Win/Win/Win scenario (AKA the Michael Scott scenario): Jazz have 2 first round picks and the age-limit is decreased.
 
Most likely scenario IMO:

The Lakers should be given the #1 pick.
The Heat should have the #2 pick.
Mark Cuban and Paul Allen should be given the opportunity to bid on the #3 pick starting at $25 million.
There should be a lottery with ping pong balls representing all teams from which the Knicks receive the #4 pick.

lol, sounds about right.
 
They would round-robin like this to start: #1 - Lakers; #2 - Heat; #3 - Knicks; #4 - Celtics; #5 - Winner of highest bidder scenario outlined before (all the billionnaires basically), then they repeat for #6-10. From pick #11 on it will be a "lottery" among all teams. I am sure that would be viewed as most "fair".
