Getting Ready For Secaucus
Well, the NBA Lottery is scheduled for Tuesday at the NBAE Studios in beautiful Secaucus, New Jersey. The best thing about Secaucus? The bus stop in front of the Embassy Suites that enables you to make the quick 15-minute trip to the Port Authority in New York City. Those who have attended the Lottery have always utilized the route extensively.
Larry Riley (General Manager) will represent the Warriors at this year's Lottery and spend his time with 13 other high-profile team executives at the made-for-TV event on stage.
