Plus, all the people who would have to agree to the conspiracy are the ones who make the rules. If they wanted to use another method for awarding the first-overall pick, they could just change the rules to that method.

There's no reason for them to go through an elaborate charade to make it seem like the pick is being chosen through a lottery if it isn't.
