Also Mecca, I can't say I like seeing 3 Rockets logos on your account. Their chances in the WCF were bad enough anyway, that makes them completely go away.

Did we really need 30 minutes of nonsense before the lottery? Ugh.

Unless the Cavs trade the pick and draft him for someone else or the Hornets trade Kemba, I don't see teams in the top 10 needing a PG outside of Orlando. At least not near the back of the top 10
Some mocks have the Bulls taking a pg which confuses the Shit out of me because they have Dunn.

Almost every mock has the Knicks taking a pg , even though they have 5 on the roster and took one last Season.

That doesn't surprise me at all because they are a train wreck....

In fairness, we have about 5 as well.

But, some suck and others are broken.

All, except Lou, have one year or less with opt outs , remaining on their deals.

Bulls should be set on getting a wing, either MPJ or one of the Bridges'. Who knows what the Knicks will do but I still wouldn't expect them to take one. Probably going for a wing player too.

Apparently a lot of folks think that Frankie Smokes is better suited as a 2 than a 3.

If the Cavs somehow win it at <3% again, they better start showing everything live moving forward.

Im not saying I think it is or can be rigged, but many people will swear it is.
Agree.

That would be way to suspect....

The problem is that the way the lottery is set up now it is basically impossible to show it live without starting with the No. 1 pick and moving your way backwards.

what really has to blow is being Brooklyn or LA and not having a pick- and having traded that pick for guys that have been gone for years.......

thats why this stuff just doesnt happen anymore in the league....no one is trading unprotected picks years and years out in advance anymore--- well except Riley. lol.

but seriously no one else does it anymore after the Nets got burned. Its just too risky. Especially considering the advnatage of having a great young player on an inexpeisnve rookie contract.

It's one of those things that 'at the time' looked terrible but we'd see what happened.

In retrospect, it was probably the worst sports management move in history.

The Knicks rookie?

Look, I know it's way to early to judge these guys.

But, this feels like a Deron Williams over Cp3 Shit the bed pick.

I'm not saying DSJ is Chris Paul.

But, I think the career arch's between the picks will be similar.

They will regret not taking Smith.

I get it, but it sucks because watching the Warriors win again isn't great either.

Wouldn’t Mitchell be perfect in NYC? A shame.

Fucking Silver. Everytime I see that filthy, anorexic mug on TV I just want to take a shower. He's ruined everything Stern built
