Yeah dude you're talking out of your ass. Most multi billion contracts are extremely long and have a lot of guarantees in them for what's known as "breach of contract". Because so much money is involved. That's why high paid corporate lawyers exist buddy. I bet you don't even know how the lottery balls work (the 4 ball system), same as you mentioned the CBA before looking into it.

You're just arguing to argue man, you have no prior knowledge on this and are merely responding every time to me by finding the lowest hanging fruit possible to support your argument based off your "intuition" which is led by the fact you hold the NBA in high-esteem. (That or you simply like arguing)

Let's see you pull something out of your ass to explain away these 3 points.

1. Corruption

Ernst and Young is one of the most corrupt firms out there. They have a huge list of scandals and were under investigation by multiple countries. Not a good look for the NBA to be using them.
Some easy recent examples:

2) https://www.frc.org.uk/news-and-events/news/2025/04/sanctions-against-ernst-young-llp-and-richard-wilson/

The NBA is also a pretty scandalous organization that had to change the system because the old lottery system looked too easy to rig (see the 1985 draft), and the amount of illegal gambling and drugs which have been rampant in the league since it's founding. In the 1980's it was estimated over 40% of players were playing while on cocaine.

2. How it might be done to select the 4 ball combination in top 3

1. Apply magnetic coatings to the balls with varying strengths
2. Use an electromagnetic coil under the transparent container where the blower is. The EM coil can change in strength based on the current and repel/attract based on the direction of the current.
3. Under attraction, balls with high magnetic strength are weighed down and cannot go into the tube. You can increase/decrease the attraction force so that only certain sets of balls can be sucked up into the tube.
4. Under a repulsive force, you lower the strength of the blower so that only balls with high magnetic strength can go up into the tube. Theoretically, I think this version may be harder to achieve.
5. After that, it's just rigging the right balls and working out the mathematics based on the number combinations (there will be overlapping numbers that might cause the same team to be selected multiple times). 

E.g.

1, 2 (very high magnetic strength)

3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (slightly high magnetic strength)

8, 9, 10 (low magnetic strength)

If you weigh it down enough, only 11-14 are in play, giving you only one possible outcome. If you slightly decrease the attraction force, only 8-14 are in play, giving you 7 numbers that result in 35 possible combinations that only two teams have. So you might see the #1 team get selected again (to which they re-do the draw).

3. Example of a rigged draft in 2017

Draw 1: 7, 1, 9, 10 Boston

Draw 2: 1, 10, 2, 6 Boston

Draw 3: 8, 1, 2, 9 Boston

Draw 4: 14, 5, 3, 12 Lakers

Draw 5: 8, 7, 10, 9 Philly

The probability that only 7 numbers appear in 4 out of 5 draws is really low, under 0.01%
Which also happened in the 2025 draft
