Lotto fever?

Dear Mitch Kupchak,

After Tuesday’s draft lottery, the Trail Blazers and SuperSonics instantly became better teams than the Lakers. Consider yourself on the clock. Good luck.

The NBA draft lottery needs to be abolished. The NFL doesn’t need a lottery -- the worst record gets the first pick. What’s so hard about that? Or you could go back to the coin toss between the worst team in each conference.

Commissioner Stern should show a little dignity and do away with the circus of loser general managers and pingpong balls.
