It's LOTTO DAY!!!

I hope they do to. I want the Lakers to take Fultz.

No way Boston takes Ball as #1. NOT going to happen.

There is a small chance Danny rolls the dice with Fox or Smith or Tatum or maybe even Monk ... but not Ball. (Danny did go against the grain last year with Brown ... really good pick -- shows he might not pick the consensus guy.)

Kings fans got to be happy with their position

5 and 10. Can't screw this up or Cousins deal turns out to be a disaster

Yeah, I'll be surprised if they take Ball. About the only way I see that happening is if someone picking later than the Lakers really wants him and a trade is in place where they pick him for that team.

I'm good either way, I think Lonzo is the better fit for the Lakers though.

so does Magic from what i hear...

I hope they do to. I want the Lakers to take Fultz.

Honestly can't go wrong with either in my opinion. I just hope Jackson drops to 4th or we go after Markannen. I want no part of Tatum.

Agree about Fultz and Ball. Jackson would be a perfect fit for the Suns.

Yeah but I have a feeling he gets snagged in the third spot leaving us with Tatum.

Maybe the Sixers take Tatum?

big time congrats to the Lakers....they needed tonight.

Now the rebuild can really get going in earnest- and it will be a fun team to watch.

It will be interesting to see if the end up taking Ball. I think they will and they should- but considering they have Russell and Ball's baggage, i dont think its set in stone.

Jackson would be a very good pick there as well and he fits a big time need.

Fultz is going 1. I think he separated himself. Good for Boston. Whether they keep him or trade him- who knows- Do i think Fultz is as good of a prospect as John Wall or Kyrie? ehhh probably not but just a peg lower.

Didn't read the whole thread and I know their odds were pretty good but how are the conspiracy theories with the NBA's two most storied franchises getting #1 and #2?

 

[Rock Strongo]

gimme fultz. he would be a great compliment to thomas. he can play 1 and 2. he can take the ball upcoart and take pressure of thomas. fultz will also learn in a winning system, develop, and be the bridge to the next 10 years here. get heyward in the mix.

done.

i would only trade the pick if its a blockbuster mega deal that makes ainge fall out of his chair.


whens the last time a team was in a conf final AND had the #1 pick in the draft?

Least shocking moments of the night.

Top of my head, 1982 when the Lakers drafted Worthy at #1 and became NBA champs that year.

ive been looking and thats all i can find.

Damn. The ping pong ball gods are against the Sixers again. At least the Lakers will still suck next year and the pick will still be in the 5-7 range, if I had to guess. Still great value considering they gave up an awful player to be in that position.
