NBA Draft Lottery

[Westy Bogan]

Clipper fans turning over cars in LA (Lakers style)

 

[Oscarman]

Next year were gonna be back. Baron Davis & #1 pick. preety happy.

Good shit hey? Kyrie Irving here we come. A Duke boy to the Cavs. Excellent.

^^^Must be very gratifying Oscarman, great to see a Cavs fan (and others like you) who stuck fat getting rewarded.

agreed mdc. although havent seen many cavs fans around this year. hope they post again and again next season (even if theyre still shit).

as for being rewarded.....weaker draft this year yeah? but if player 1 is a star, hope cleveland dont get hit with The Decision 2.

 

[Ron]

lol @ the Clips. Poor bastards can never get it right.

 

[peternorth]

just on the clippers. why is it bad luck for them? even if they had one of the cavs picks it ight not have been no 1 or 4

 

[peternorth]

Enes Kanter to go no 3 to the Jizz

you heard it here first

 

[peternorth]

lakers with 4 2nd round draft picks.

watch out nba. lakers comin at ya

 

[Hodges]

My only wish is for Toronto to be bumped out of the top 3.

Raps #5 bahahahahaha. So typical.

**** you blacky. Die in a fire.

5th pick. **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** it!

Nah, for the Clippers pick to jump in order it has to jump all the way to the top 3, so it couldn't have been the one at no.4.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Irving is gonna be a Cav... Duke represent!

 

[peternorth]

Nah, for the Clippers pick to jump in order it has to jump all the way to the top 3, so it couldn't have been the one at no.4.

ah ok. so 1 or 3.

meh, point still remains. they wouldnt have acquired the no 1 pick.

 

[Scream]

^ Jazz need guards, wont take Kanter unless we are looking at offloading Jefferson..

 

[aaronm46]

supposed to be a pretty average draft this year isnt it? no barnes, sullinger etc

 

[TigerTime88]

Just on the clippers it's ridiculous that they didn't protect the pick. Only had a 2.8% chance.....Baron Davis's contract was killing them in terms of trying to sign a free agent going forward so it had to go...just unlucky.

Should be able to try and secure a decent Free Agent now though to support Griffin and Gordon. Still sucks!

 

[Messenger]

Pick 2, eh.

And Kahn has it to waste. FML

[Drumroe]

Anyone else think there will be some draft night trades upgrading and downgrading picks? Irving will most likely go #1, and i dont know if the wolves will want Williams #3 with Beasley being the exact same type of hybrid forward scorer.

Then if Williams does go #2 the next best guy is most probably Kanter, and the Jazz will be looking at getting a guard like Walker who they could get a bit later on. Im hoping the Pistons are able to upgrade their pick 8

 

[Borgsta]

There is every year Liam so why would this year be any different?

 

[Spriteftw3]

Lol Cavs get picks 1/4 too bad this draft is ****ing terrible.

There is now way in hell that Jazz miss out on Zimmer. Utah owner is all about bums on seats and Zimmer gets all the BYU fans.

If they had too they would even use their 3rd pick on him but they should get him at 12 anyways cause i dont think anyone will take him knowing he is desperate to play for the Jazz as well.

 

[Drumroe]

The last two years there hasnt really been many draft picks changing hands inside the top.10 picks. This year i think there could be some more aggressive trades because its such a weak draft and team think they can get the player they need later on.

Wolves general manager David Kahn said he knew Minnesota was “dead” when it got down to the final three of himself, Utah executive Kevin O’Connor and Nick Gilbert.
“This league has a habit, and I am just going to say habit, of producing some pretty incredible story lines,” Kahn said. “Last year it was Abe Pollin’s widow and this year it was a 14-year-old boy and the only thing we have in common is we have both been bar mitzvahed. We were done. I told Kevin: ‘We’re toast.’ This is not happening for us and I was right.”
