Was the NBA draft lottery fixed?

While I have heard from the talking heads that such a circumstance is improbable, it can't be just a coincidence that every time a big player comes up, they happen to land with the team that the NBA would most like to see come up with that pick.

Do away with the lottery. I heard the reasons for the lottery and they're stupid. If a team is going to tank to get the first pick, they're still going to tank to get the best chance to get the first pick. The fact that the worst team only has a one in four shot of getting that pick is ridiculous. Its all theatre with no theatrics. Its like watching paint dry.
