Official 2017 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[#1 pick]

How are you not getting what I'm saying? No where have I mentioned a S&T, I've said the Pacers would sign him then trade him, I never specified when. I know the only team that can give him the supermax is Indy, which is why I've said it several times, I know exactly how the rules work, and you keep saying the same thing again and again when I have made my point clear.

No problem, I misunderstood what you were saying. The issue is your idea is salary. PG would need to be matched in salary, Boston doesn't have much salary outside of Horford.

No he wouldn't

The Celtics could absorb his contract

How if they can't this off-season?

They've had one of the 3 worst records each of those years, so statistically, the odds are pretty good.

Yeah but to land in that spot 3 yrs in a row, tho

Them balls normally bounce all over the place


Ask the Suns.


Luke Walton told him 2 weeks before the draft "A top 3 pick is guaranteed"

I just think it's all rigged.


Bron does the NBA a favor and goes to Miami creating a ratings extravaganza

In return, the Cavs are rewarded with three #1 overall picks in 4 years

They didn't get it 4 years straight because the NBA owned the Pelicans at the time

They hooked themselves up with the #1 pick to take Anthony Davis!

Derrick Rose to Chicago when they had about a 10% chance of winning the lottery.

That shyt has been rigged more than ever over the last 10 yrs.

It's ridiculously obvious.

They're trying to set up the Sixers & Celtics to be "LeBron replacement" teams in the East..

They know Bron only has about 2 more years of elite play.

Gotta start preparing for the future.



But that's just the way I see it

I wish there was a way the league would do something with that

Should just do like the NFL.Worst goes first...2nd worst goes 2nd....etc..etc..

The lottery is an illusion.

It's a cover for the real strategy they use in determining the draft lottery.

It's all based around their marketing strategy.

No way they're letting random lottery balls determine that shyt.

If they used the NFL model, they wouldn't be able to manipulate the picks

in favor of their marketing strategy.That shyt ain't nothing but a magic trick.


"Bu bu bu they have people there to witness the lottery drawings!!"

Wouldn't be a good trick without an audience...That's like saying "Bu bu bu David Blaine has people there to witness his magic tricks"


It's all bullshyt

This. In 79 seasons, The Hawks has exactly .500 win percentage. They are literally the face of mediocrity.

The one year that the Kings finally have luck in the draft lottery they swap picks with Philly.

LeBron ended up in Cleveland

D-Rose ended up in Chicago

Lonzo ended up in L.A.

NBA seems to love a hometown story

Bamba better be a Knick next year

I see a lot people saying the Suns fell because "That's their karma for blatantly tanking"


Well, where's the Sixers karma? They're the face of tanking, yet they've been THEE NBA lottery darling over the last 3-4 years


Maybe all those bad knees and injuries are the result of karma, tho?


They're suffering the NBA illegitimate lottery drawing karma.


And I'm not even hating on the Sixers.I'm pulling for em.I want them to become a powerhouse.They're chocked full of very intriguing prospects.


I love seeing young teams build & grow.Most exciting shyt ever



I'm just saying, tho....spread the wealth----Keep it fair

 

[Gizza]

I just thought about this(I know a conspiracy bein cooked) what if the NBA gave the Celtics the top pick? So when Lebron declines a historic franchise dominates the East instead of a Milwaukee or Miami?

That's not my intent.Like I said, I like the Sixers.


It really has nothing to do with them.


I'm shooting at the swindlers standing behind the Sixers manipulating the whole shyt.


Y'all just getting hit with a few fragments.Accidental contact, breh.



Sixers & Bucks my 2 favorite Eastern Conference teams

 

[desjardins]

What is Fox gonna do with Ben Simmons on the court handling the ball? Josh Jackson is way better off the ball.

Simmons-Embiid-Jackson

Yea but we don't really know if Simmons can even run the point in the NBA.....or if he will ever be healthy
I think Jackson is a safe bet though and it seem like he got a higher ceiling than Fox anyway so i wouldn't be mad

 

[Fctftl]

The one bright spot of the Knicks year, our draft. I can't muster up excitement because our season is going to be washed, again.

Can't wait for that 2018 draft.

Please do not touch Lonzo if we move up.

Phils really dropped the ball with the knicks. They keep fukkin around they gonna lose Porzingis.

Phil gotta go.
