Positive, the league intervened in the team's mess, and the team's joys and sorrows were not the same on the night of the draft lottery

This year's NBA draft lottery has come to an end. The Hawks finally won the first prize in the NBA's 2024 draft convention with a very low probability of 3%, which made many people feel puzzled. However, after seeing the ranking of all the draft lottery, they began to feel relieved. The original president Xiao Hua said in the second half of last season that he would punish those teams that are constantly failing, not alarmist.

The specific order of 1-14 in 2024 is: Hawks, Wizards, Rockets, Spurs, Pistons, Hornets, Trailblazers, Spurs, Grizzlies, Jazz, Bulls, Thunder, Kings, Trailblazers.

From the back to the front, the draw order of 14-8 is reasonable. The Trailblazers (from the Warriors, whose record is 46-36), the Kings (46-36), the Thunder (from the Rockets, whose record is 41-41), the Bulls (39-43), the Eastern Ninth, the Jazz (31-51). The Grizzlies are 27 wins and 55 losses. They are basically ranked according to their record and ranking in the east and west.

However, from the beginning of the Spurs, it felt that every team was deliberately chosen by the league. This year, the Spurs won two draft rights, No. 4 and No. 8. Among them, No. 8 was obtained from the Raptors in the Peltel trade, which is a top 6 protection sign. It can be seen that after the team traded Siam Kam and Anunuobi, the Raptors also wanted to keep this draft right very much, so they removed the main force in the final stage and started to "suck". The final record was only 25-27, ranking the sixth from the bottom of the league. But in the end, they paid the price for their negative attitude, and got the eighth ranking draft right and had to give it to the Spurs.

The seventh ranked pioneer has not started to play poorly in the first year. The team has sent a group of development league players to play in the final stage of two seasons, which has greatly affected the viewing of the game. Especially after Lillard was traded away, the team was even more unscrupulous. It only won 21 - 61 in the end, ranking first from the bottom in the western region, and third from the bottom in the whole league. It should have signed the strongest contender in the first three rankings, and finally won the seventh in the first round.

Next came the Hornets, which won Brandon Miller as the first choice for the draw last year. But this year, the team was 21-61, ranking third from the bottom in the east. Finally, the lucky lady didn't favor the Hornets, and they only got a sixth pick in the first round.

The Pistons in the fifth place are definitely the key "care" objects of the league. Last year, the Pistons ranked the bottom in the league's record, and this year, they ranked the bottom with 14-68 losses. The key is that this team, after five or six years of reconstruction, did not improve at all. Last year, they only got the fifth place with the lowest record. This year, the fate is almost the same, or the worst record to win the fifth place, the difference is that the player representing the draw was replaced by last year's fifth place player Osar Thompson.

The fourth ranked Spurs are the biggest beneficiaries of this draw. Not only the eighth ranked Spurs won the Raptors' lot, but also the fourth ranked Spurs. Perhaps this is related to the great influence of Wenbanyama. With more high ranking draft rights, the Spurs can complete the reconstruction as soon as possible, so having the Spurs with Wenbanyama can bring more attention to the league.

The Rockets, who were lucky enough to win the third pick in the first round of the draft, may be just because they spent nearly 90 million dollars in salary space during the offseason last year, and their record reached 41 wins and 41 losses this season. Because this is what the league wants to achieve, all weak teams should go all out without saving salary space.

In the two teams before the Rockets, the Wizards just joined the "bad" team this year, and it is normal to get the first place award, while the Hawks' regular season record is not bad. The league may want to tell all teams that as long as they don't bad, even if the team plays in the play off, it is still possible to get the first place award in the end!

Although the NBA claims that the lottery of the draft convention is random every year, it is absolutely possible for the league management to intervene at the point where "bad" practices are rampant. In this way, maybe all teams will be serious, which is absolutely a good thing for fans!
