2014 NBA Draft Lottery: The Milwaukee Bucks have the best chance of winning this year's draft lottery which could possibly turn the franchise around. With the 2014 NBA Draft lottery set to take place on Tuesday evening, it's time for teams to think about their needs, and also for fans to shout conspiracy theories.

Ping pong balls being used to decide the fate of the first 14 picks has always been a bit intriguing and controversial. Fans love to come up with conspiracy theories about frozen or slightly opened envelopes in favor of certain teams, stacking the deck or just rigging the system completely. There's no denying that some of those theories have some basis but that's besides the point (though the conversation will again come up if the Los Angeles Lakers or other top market team receive the top pick).

This year's conspiracy theories are stronger than ever since there is a new commissioner in town. Although not new to the league's trade secrets, Adam Silver could be feeling plenty of pressure since he was just behind Donald Stern's back for the past years as he watched him handle the business. But this year is a different story. He is now in charge in making decisions; some say due to his lack of experience, he might get swayed by team owners to abide with their demands.

SB Nation has a very interesting take on how each team can pull-off the number 1 pick in a shady kind of way.

Nevertheless, once everything is said and done, there are no reasons for teams and fans to get upset since this year's draft is loaded with amazing talent and possible franchise players from pick 1-10. This year's draft is a win-win situation for any lottery teams and it would be nobody's fault if their selection does not pan out.
