NBA Draft Lottery tonight

[Sparhawk]

More importantly, who are the Spurs going to pick at #10????

 

[DJ]

Not drafting this year. We've had this conversation, guess you like to hear yourself talk.

And again, I'm fully aware of how odds work. But what does it say that an organization like the Cavs that gets 1st round picks, half the time drafts a bust? What's the purpose of getting a lotto pick when it isn't going to work out?

BOOM.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Thanks! You guys probably had no use for that pick.

Better than giving you pick #4 last season.

I'm happy the Lakers improved enough for the sixers not to have a top 5 pick.

But of course philly fans aren't upset about that, right?

 

[Mecca]

I am now a huge Kings fan for 2018-2019 season!

Seriously, if....

...and I know it's a BIG IF....

Giles can get healthy in the next 2 Seasons....

They have a ton of young talent and could make a nice jump next year.

They won't leap Denver without a big free agent signing.


But, they will be fun to watch.

 

[Bolts]

Fox, Buddy, Luka, Giles, Skal/WCS
or
Fox, Buddy, ?, Giles, Ayton

 

[Mecca]

If the Suns take Ayton, then Luka is probably the guy I'd pick. It's tough because he does well with the ball just like Fox and Bogdan, but it's good to have numerous ball handlers.

That Fucker can shoot too.

I'm not positive the Suns take Ayton.

They still have Bender and Luka, Booker, Jackson would be filthy.

 

[flyerhawk]

I doubt there's a single Lakers fan upset about how this went down.

Yeah. Getting Steve Nash was a huge coup for the Lakers and totally worth losing this pick.

And they won't have to worry about trying to lose for a lottery pick which is good and bad. I hope they win 40 games and push the Celtics pick outside the top 10.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Not really impressed by this years draft class to be honest.

Not sure Doncic can play the 3 but maybe he can.

 

[Mecca]

I guess Gilbert's son lost the magic.

Well, with brain cancer, I'm sure he's just happy to still be alive.

Well the truth of the matter is that had the pick been #3 or #4 this year it would have gone to the Celtics so, yeah, you aren't going to find many Sixer fans that are upset about getting #10. Sure getting the No. 1 pick would have been great but that would have been really lucky.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yeah. Getting Steve Nash was a huge coup for the Lakers and totally worth losing this pick.

It was worth a gamble at the time. Something the majority of the league would have done.

But the timing worked out just fine. For years they didn't have the cap space but got lucky enough in the lottery to improve with a young player or two. This year they don't have a lottery pick but they DO have cap room.

And hey, we didn't have to witness a 10-72 season to get where we are now...

 

[flyerhawk]

Yes please.

 

[Bolts]

I'm still shocked, I guess playing out the season and trying to win against other shit teams worked out.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Wanted a top 5 pick last year, got #10 this year.

But you're not pissed about that, right? You guys have been saying that all year... lol

 

[Mecca]

And they won't have to worry about trying to lose for a lottery pick which is good and bad. I hope they win 40 games and push the Celtics pick outside the top 10.

Yep.

I agree with @Shaqdaddy11 point about the Lakers improvement.

At least it made the pick a little worse.

Philly will still get a good player if they keep it.

But, I'd rather they get a good player over a possibly great one , if it were my Team too.

You've convinced me. It was a great move by the Lakers! You couldn't have really used that pick next season and now you have CAP ROOM!!

And hey, we didn't have to witness a 10-72 season to get where we are now...

Yeah. That 17-65 season must have been a joy to watch.

 

[Bolts]

Not sure Doncic can play the 3 but maybe he can.

They'd have to get rid of somebody if he's the SG, him/Buddy/Bogi all need minutes. They could trade Bogi and have Buddy as 6th man.

 

[Mecca]

Not sure Doncic can play the 3 but maybe he can.

He's big enough at 6'8.

But, he projects as a guard.

He's a much bigger matchup problem at the 1 or 2.
