Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

God damn the Warriors are just clowning right now.

 

[jaydolf spitler]

Kings started with a spark

 

[Dwight Howard]

but but the Lakers wont have a top 5 pick...

at this rate we're gonna have a top 3 pick AND possibly 4 picks in the draft all together

Currently the Lakers have the fourth-worst record in the league and have 82.8% chance of remaining among the top five in the draft. After such a miserable season, it would be absolutely devastating for the Lakers to lose their pick this June to Phoenix.

The Lakers' poor record will also probably keep their second-rounder from going to the Orlando Magic as part of the Dwight Howard trade. The Magic only get the pick if it's in the 41-60 range, and the Lakers are currently slotted at 34.


The Houston Rockets (33-15) sent their first-rounder to the Lakers in the Jeremy Lin trade. If Houston makes the playoffs, that pick will convey this off-season. Currently the Rockets are in third place in the Western Conference.

3 top 35 picks

Gobert is a one man zone, shyt is incredible.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

It ain't like they're gonna be much better next year, if the Suns don't get the pick this year the protections are only 1-3 next year and the year after, then no protection at all

as long as we get one more high lottery pick we'll be good. we were never gonna rely strictly on draft picks, but we need atleast a few pieces to build around/maybe even trade.

They aren't going to be very good next year either, this is going to take years for them to be competitive again.

It's going to take a while to improve, I can't really see what FA's they could sign to really improve when a lot of those guys aren't going to give up their bird rights with the new TV deal coming up.

Gordon Hayward


Gobert

Even the Blazer announcers gotta acknowledge the Stifle Tower, dude got Aldridge on a lonely island right now
