Rome, if he was an actual journalist, and not a sensationalist, could have framed his question like "Many would believe that since the NBA owns the team, that the lottery was fixed". Stern as an adult could have replied to either question - "look, here is how we do the lottery, and here is the controls that we have to guarantee no funny games"
Both Rome and Stern are playing the same game in the media which is controversy equals ratings. Rome keeps saying he wants to take the high road, but he is clearly milking this on his show all week, letting his Clones weigh in and essentially say the things that Rome wants to say, but won't.
