We can also say that if New Orleans wins it is rigged as they appear to have found a new owner.

As for "rigging" the draft, it appears to be next to impossible given the number of people witnessing the selection of the lottery balls in the back room. I think Doug Smith did it a few years ago, but Stern is an Evil Genius.

As we wind down the final few games of the season, the top 3 picks seem set, but there's a big group bunching up for picks #4-9. The teams have 4-7 games left. I'm curious the order everybody thinks those 6 teams will finish, as we gaze into crystal balls...
I looked at the remaining schedule for each of the 6 teams and classified games as 'should win' / 'should lose' / 'toss up'. Here's where the records 'should' end up:
#4 pick: Sacramento - 20 wins, 1/4/0 = 21 wins
#5 pick: Cleveland - 20 wins, 1/5/1 = 21-22 wins
#6 pick: Toronto - 22 wins, 0/2/2 = 22-24 wins
#7 pick: New Jersey (would go to Portland) - 22 wins, 0/3/1 = 22-23 wins
#8 pick: Golden State (would go to Utah) - 22 wins, 1/4/1 = 23-24 wins
#9 pick: Detroit - 22 wins, 0/3/3 = 22-25 wins
As of today, I'm projecting Toronto to finish with the #6 pick, meaning they could pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th... here's hoping for some lottery luck!
