They do the drawing in front of representatives from every team in the lottery and media members. Stories have been written about the process, the reaction of people in the room as things are drawn, etc. That's a whole lot of people who have to maintain the same lie if it's not true. And there isn't much incentive for all those people to do that.

That's not true. Everyone in the room knows the results the moment the last ping pong ball is drawn. Every person in the room (team reps and media) knows which combinations of numbers are which team so it's super obvious. They just aren't allowed to tell anyone else until after it's revealed on TV.Comment

Plus, the motivation from the NBA is sketchy. They would be risking their entire business that makes them billions of dollars on a complicated, risky plan for a not very big gain. Even if you stipulate that the NBA would be willing to cross all ethical bounds for the highest profit, even then it doesn't make very much sense. The reward is not big enough to be worth any level of risk.Comment
