I think Silver is well aware the importance of the Knicks to the NBA. He is just scared to death to be seen as favoring the Knicks

There have been direct and obvious favoritism to other teams enough to justify some more
I'm still baffled by the notion that pumping up the Knicks would drag viewership of the rest of the league up and why hasn't that purposely happened. Maybe the Steve Mills stupidity had something to do with it; now that Leon and Thibs manning the battle stations maybe that'll allow something to happen.

He doesn’t act like it
Again Silver is afraid of being perceived as playing favorites.

Favoritism??....down right collusion..
Two recent gems...1) CLE getting two #1 picks space less than 5 yrs apart 2)AD going to Lakers and Pels getting Zion...
What the hell did we get...go back 1985...
Admittedly, had we gotten Zion..it still may have been a $hitshow ....I think if we got Ja Morant...he is an engine and that would have been a different story..

Realistically Mills and Fiz may still be here if that happened
So basically if you can’t believe in the odds then it must be a conspiracy?
“League wanted............” but somehow they hate knicks, but don’t want to show favoritism so they.............
I don’t get it. Maybe the system is not rigged and knicks are not lucky. We tent to believe what we dont understand.
Thing is the odds get reset every year for each draft.

Way to many coincidences with the lottery over the years

Give me a motive and some evidence besides “What else can it be”........
I’m not saying it can’t be. Knicks did get Ewing then what?
Cleveland got Lebron. Yes, they sucked and tanked.
Do we ignore Bennett?

It's already been announced. The NO Pelicans just won the 2021 draft lottery while the knicks get the 8th pick for the 10th year in a row.
