NBA Draft Lottery tonight

[flyerhawk]

I'm cool with the Sixers getting the 10th pick. I would be pretty annoyed if one of the teams behind them jumped ahead of them and pushed them down though.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Lmao at McCollum.

Goran Dragic, Josh Richardson, Justise Winslow, and Bam Adebayo for Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills.

Now that is a package worthy for The Klaw.

thats actually more reasonable then i thought it would be...i dont thnk it gets it done-- i think Philly can give a monster offer of like Covington, Saric, Fultz and a pick or two....but its at least something that wouldnt get laughed at

Saric, Fultz, and a couple of picks would be realistic. Covington sucks.

Philly is easily the best place for him to land. Just depends what direction the Spurs are trying to go. They have Aldridge still so trying to put together a team that is still competitive would likely be better short term.

i will say- the Justice Winslow that we saw in the Philly series has real value....the one we have seen in the regular season the last couple years has looked abysmal--- but he really repaired his image in that playoff series if you ask me.

now whiteside took a baseball bat to his trade value. lol.....theres nothing left.

he fits so much better with philly then Lebron does too--- age wise, position wise, etc...everything

id rather have lebron as i am sure they would too--- but Kawhi is such a great fit with embiid and simmons. hes the perfect wing defender, shooter but guy that can create on his own a little.....hes a great fit.

Philly and Boston are really set to be great in the East a long time--- only thing holding them back is the King and Dan G's Wallet.

LeBron James: It's a blessing for Nick Gilbert to represent Cleveland Cavaliers at NBA Draft Lottery

- The Cleveland Cavaliers will have a familiar face representing the organization at the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery tonight, and are hopeful he can add onto his positive history at the event.

Less than three months after undergoing brain surgery, Nick Gilbert, the son of majority owner Dan Gilbert, will represent the Cavaliers on stage at the NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago, Illinois.

 

[WiggyRuss]

i know the chances are slim to none but just one more time nick cmon.

 

[Heatles84]

according to @Heatles84 it doesnt matter...1st, 14th....you can get a star at either...go home...nothing to see here.

Simmons is likely going to win ROY (who was in last year's draft class). Who's going to come in 2nd? Mitchell. Where was he selected, Wiggity-Wam?

again....i guess you do not understand the concept of odds and probabilities....is it that hard to understand that you get a star much much much more frequently at #1 then you do at #12?


where are the heat drafting this year?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

@Wamu if you could give me 1 of 2 options

1. The Cavs beat Boston...

or

2. The Cavs get swept by Boston but win the lotto

I choose win the lotto- since it would mean LBJ is going nowhere and will retire a Cav.

Yep, because lebron is going to stick around and wait for a young guy to develop, right?

You might almost be lucky to find the next Anthony Bennett...

because the cavs are THAT good at drafting!

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?

Wow! Nobody gives a shit!

 

[Bolts]

Will the Kings win the lottery(or jump into the top 3)?

 

[Inimical]

Draft lotto is tonight. Thought it would be fun (ok not that fun, I'm just bored) for us to predict who wins. Winner gets a polite golf clap and a head nod.

My prediction is the Kings win just so I can see @Bolts celebrate.


Here are the odds for each team to win #1:

Suns 25%
Grizzlies 19.9%
Mavs 13.8%
Hawks 13.7%
Magic 8.8%
Bulls 5.3%
Kings 5.3%
Cavs 2.8%
Knicks 1.7%
Sixers 1.1%
Hornets 0.8%
Pistons 0.7%
Clippers 0.6%
Nuggets 0.5%

Wait the Lakers cant get the number 1 pick this year? Weird.

Here is the thing though.

If GS does what I think they will, and completely dominate the rest of the playoffs, LeBron will realize his only chance at more rings is to leave Cleveland and team up with Kawhi somewhere. Philly might be it. THat would be ridiculous.

well, they WERE fortunate enough to bag Kyrie. course as it turns out later him and LeClown went together like ketchup and an orange chiffon cake...

 

[Black Adam]

and as much as i've traditionally disliked the Kings i almost would like to see an end to your suffering ...













for a little while, anyway...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Even the cavs couldn't fuck up picking Kyrie, but probably not for the lack of trying. I'm sure they had a long hard look at guys like Malcolm Lee or Charles Jenkins before going with Irving.
