Re: Why does the NBA have a draft lottery?
Easy, so the big market teams can get "lucky" in the lottery and get the top picks. Historically, look at the teams who luck out and move way up thanks to the lottery: Orlando and San Antonio are the most obvious. As a Grizzlies and Jazz fan, I can't think of one year the lottery actually helped either of these teams, they both usually get screwed by 2-4 spots.
