Official 2019 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[Marc Spector]

The league is moving on from LeBron slowly but gradually. Yeah some casuals dropped off but all the latest playoff magic occurring plus the headlines and drama still intact still has the league trending and looking towards the future past LeBron.

I agree but you'd be a foolish NBA commissioner to not capitalize on the #2
NBA star of all time playing for the Lakers (especially since LA is trying to re establish itself as a real sports town). For as good as the playoffs has been Lebron moves the needle more than any player in the league.

Nobody in the East has the better pieces though. I dont think Boston is getting rid of both Brown and Tatum.

i think y’all are way over valuing Ingram & Lonzo

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Low key....Steph the best player in the NBA

As he throws another all-time bad behind the back pass into the 3rd row

(Wont make Shaqtin of course, wonder why)

 

[nyknick]

Breh you can damn near get by without having a coat in NO. Its not warm like Miami or LA but its not really cold....And at this point Lonzo will go where hes moved to it honesrly may be best for him to be traded outside of his home base.

I know

 

[tremonthustler1]

Desus and Mero went from to real quick

EDIT: Jadakiss and Fat Joe there too

 

[Flex Luger]

Dudes keep talking about Ingram's situation like it's comparable to Bosh

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

I think it's fixed so that LA has another high pick to include in an AD trade. Then the Lakers get AD and NO can draft Zion and Barrett and have the whole "teamed at Duke" connection to sell.

Nobody cares about this. Especially in New Orleans of all markets. Hell, I'm sure both them nikkas are tired of playing with each other.

 

[Flex Luger]

Because all that ad and rich Paul bullshyt mid season basically gave the pelicans one of the most toxic locker room situations in nba history

The pelicans will not turn around and reward the lakers for that

 

[John Mexico]

Was that retarded looking kid Gilbert's son?

[No Ma’am]

 

[Renegade47]

nikkaz dont want to play in LA. They look so bad right now.

if they get AD that will change.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

phoenix the saga continues

not just the hawks and bulls. the suns and cavs got fukked as well.

I'm glad Phoenix didn't get the #1. They waste so much talent there.

Also glad the Cavs didn't get it. fukk em. They've already had enough #1s in the recent past.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Not with the stupid new math. Now it works out that those teams have a good chance of jumping up and the worst teams have the greatest odds of falling down the lottery.

This is supposed to discourage tanking I guess. Only problem is teams that are the bottom because they are genuinely bad and need the help get screwed.

It's been obvious fans and the media don't believe teams can genuinely be bad in the NBA.

Nobody cares about this. Especially in New Orleans of all markets. Hell, I'm sure both them nikkas are tired of playing with each other.

I don't think fans care, and I know the players don't give a fukk, but the league cares. ESPN and TNT care. They need something to analyze, speculate in, and talk about, and the league would love to have more talking points to push.
