Official 2019 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

Ingram is not as valuable as you think he is.

and Lonzo, forget it.

When David Griffin worked on NBA TV, he called Ingram a future All-Star

When Kris Dunn got drafted everyone thought he'd be the best player in the class. Things change.

Pels are a bottom rung franchise. Terrible attendance and a shyt tv contract. They cannot survive without a name that rings bells. Ja Morant doesn't move the needle. And the NBA owes the Bensons for buying that franchise from them.

Im sure your next question "Wouldn't the NBA want zion in NY?" They did. That was the original plan. But they didn't expect Klutch/Lakers to fumble the Davis trade or the Bensons to completely refuse to help the Lakers (Personal theory is that the Bensons were still mad about the Super Bowl and helping another LA team for "the sake of the League" was a sensitive spot for them).

NBA should hire you.

This is set up lovely for Bezos to buy the Pelicans for pocket change and make them the Seattle Sonics just in time for Zion to sign his extension.

Bruh what? Griffin said this like 3 months ago. Ingram trade stock has not changed since then. He is very high on Ingram and he has no reason to change that

the lottery being more of a crapshoot is why lottery picks now have more value

we just watched 3 teams jump into the top 4. I sure as hell dont wanna move my lotto pick now without serious protections

Yeah I misread your point

This new system is kind of stupid imo, and not just cause Im salty about having the worst record and falling to fukking 6th. The way it works out now its more likely than not that a team that should be 8, 9, 10, 11 will jump up into the top 4 and displace at least 1 bottom feeding team. In this case all 4.

It goes too far. So yeah you're absolutely correct, lottery picks themselves, even later ones just became a lot more valueable to the point we probably will see them traded much less frequently, leading to less big trades overall. Which is ultimately not good for NBA business.
