Which NBA franchise has made the most mistakes in the draft?

[Shaqdaddy11]

Even Bennett wasn't a screw up, they flipped him into Kevin Love.

and Magic got the AIDS and had to retire early

does that mean he doesnt count?

Are you just extremely drunk right now or is this a really desperate cry for attention?

And yet, Lebron is in LA with Magic and Kyrie is in Boston.

Even Bennett wasn't a screw up, they flipped him into Kevin Love. Plus, at the time people were putting Derrick Williams over Kyrie to be the #1 pick. Cavs took Kyrie, not sure if Williams is still even in the league.

A lot of teams have had plenty of high draft picks and none i recall as good as lebron and kyrie...Some teams have yet to pick a superstar to this date.

Go get drug tested immediately. Bennett wasn't part of the Love trade, Wiggins was.

You've said more than your fair share of really stupid shit in the past & currently. What the hell does Magic getting AIDS have to do w/ LeBron in L.A. & Kyrie in Boston?

Seriously do you think before you post comments?

TIMBERWOLVES ACQUIRE ANDREW WIGGINS, ANTHONY BENNETT AND THADDEUS YOUNG IN THREE-TEAM TRADE. In exchange, the Wolves will send Kevin Love to Cleveland

Any more fails?

It was a stupid comment tbh. Shaq left LA, Wade left, players leave, come back or don't...It has nothing to do with drafting players, He really had no point.

Ha! Well shit I forgot that Bennett was part of that trade. Let me be the 1st to congratulate you for finally being right once.

In wiggy's defense he does say some odd things.

still wondering what that has to do with the teams draft histories. lol.

let me give you a hint.... (absolutely nothing ).

And you're saying the Lakers draft history is bad because they picked a guy last year who wasn't immediately the best player in the league?

I would give the Wizards a pass and put the focus directly on Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Kidd-Gilchrist (#2), Vonleh (#9), Zeller (#4), Kaminsky (#9), Morrison (#3) and Kwame (#1) is one hell of a resume.

Sure.

But the incompetence started way before Jordan.

This wasn't the draft, but:

Webber for Mitch Richmond
Rasheed Wallace for rod Strickland
Rip Hamilton for Jerry Stackhouse
Traded '96 pick # 12 for Mark Price who played 7 games
Traded '04 #4 pick + 2 Stackhouse and Laetner for Antwan Jamison
Traded '09 #5 pick to Wolves for Randy Foye and Mike Miller

There are more too. These are just the highlights. They gave away so many lotto picks or young lotto talents for fading vets. Just can't make this stuff up.

Yes, the last few years their drafting has been better, but not good enough to overcome decades of incompetence.

Coincidentally, Nick van Exel was the 37th pick in the 1993 draft. The same draft where the cavs selected the almighty Chris Mills

And Eddie Jones was a very good player. A 3 time allstar picked at #10 overall. That is a damn good return even though the Lakers traded him for Glen Rice and Elden Campbell before he hit his prime.

Sorry Glen Rice and JR Reid. Campbell went out with Jones.

You don't remember Bennett being part of that deal because he was a throw in.

#1 pick 1 year prior and he already had basically 0 trade value. His NBA career lasted a total of 1905 minutes with 658 points scored. Factor in that the pick was a massive reach that shocked everyone in the draft room, and Bennett was probably the worst #1 pick of all time.

Well damn no wonder I don't remember him being part of that trade. And if he's not the worst # 1 overall of all time I don't know who is. Some will say Oden. But @ least his career was ruined due to injury. AB's career was ruined because he had no business leaving UNLV after 1 year.

Yeah.

Oden actually played more minutes and scored more points. AB's career sucked because he was not good enough to play in the NBA.

Exactly. And whoever he was listening to gave him some really bad advice.

 

[tlance]

The advice led to him being the #1 pick and making millions of dollars.

If he had waited, he might not have gotten drafted at all.

Okay gotta admit never thought of that, great point. I was thinking in terms of his career length.
