A top 15 pick is never worthless

Depends on the draft class. And to be honest, because the Lakers don't have a first rounder this year, I don't know shit about the draft class.

But i'd rather the sixers got the 14th pick than the 6th

Does anyone else find this disturbing?

I mean, it's 2018, not 1820.

I really want to know what it was like being in that Locker room.

Because being from California, Love has had plenty of contact with people from different backgrounds.

So, WTF are they doing in there that is completely incomprehensible?

Raja Bell: “There was an element of that when I was in Cleveland. They figured that out, they put it to bed. LeBron went to L.A. had these conversations with Kevin Love, but it was so bad that first year that I was on a phone call with Dan Gilbert and our whole brass and we had a big deal on the table to move Kevin Love in the first year and I was like ‘Move him’ not because I didn’t think he was a good player. I just couldn’t see them figuring out how to work as people together.””

Even if lebron does decide to leave Cleveland, I don't see Love staying either way.

Utah with a surprising win in Toronto.

DeRozan and Lowry went for a total of 24 points on 9-36 shooting

They're in playoff form already.

Agree with most of this, I'm on the fence about legal PEDs though.

Not me. I think PED's should remain illegal for levels below the professional level. But at the professional level, these guys are adults and should be able to make their own decision.

There are certainly plenty of legal things (like tobacco and alcohol) guys can use that can be every bit or more damaging to their bodies and only hurt rather than help their career.

Starting early this year lol

Donovan Mitchell went 13th.

Kuzma went 27th.

Plus, there have been several years where Teams with long odds have gotten the #1 Overall pick.

Right now, the pick looks like it's #9.

Cavs got #1 in 2014 and they were slotted at 9.

1993, Orlando finished .500. Still got #1.

Bulls in 2008, Clippers in 2011...that was Kyrie....

A few more that I'm to tired to look up...lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Uh they did pick the teams in private. Westbrook assumed he was picked last because they listed the rosters in alphabetical order.

lol @Russ not knowing the alphabet.

This one's pretty deep.

4 guys that could legitimately go #1.

Would have been 5 had Porter not been hurt.

 

[trojanfan12]

Adams kicked Beal in the groin? LOL.













Draymond Green is rubbing off on folks around the League.

In before someone says "link"?

Not saying it's impossible. But the #14 pick is usually worse than the #1 pick.

Damn.....He finally started to turn the corner.

Now this during his contract year.

I hope it's not as serious as it sounds.

That is worse case scenario for them and they'd still get a pretty good player.

I think they are way more concerned about making the playoffs.

Wouldn't surprise me if they dealt it for a veteran guy like Kemba if it isn't top 10.

You can't win with a roster full of children.

PSA: Feb 9th is the start of girl scout cookie selling season.













Thin mint FTW!!!!

Welp, I'll be going broke again this February. It was bad enough when they would accost me and force those damn cookies on me when I'm coming out of the grocery store.

But last year, they started coming to my house and even leaving their phone numbers for when I wanted more.

 

[Bolts]

Sucks to hear about Demarcus' injury, great year and was about to get paid big time as a FA(still should but the value is down if it's as bad as they fear). Get well soon Boogie.
