The 2014 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[NatiboyB]

We were on our way, literally if we draft with common sense, our team would be fukking beastly.

Evans in 2009
Cousins in 2010
Leonard or Klay or Kemba in 2011
Drummond in 2012
McElmore in 2013

Our five would be Evans/Klay/Leonard/Drummond/Cousins or Kemba/Evans/???/Drummond/Cousins. Both of those teams would have been scary as fukk

That's the same way I feel about the cavs...every year except for the kyrie Irving pick they went against damn near all mock drafts and ended up taking the wrong players each damn time,

I swear GMs think they're the smartest dude in the room with these off the wall picks. Sometimes common sense is your best bet. Yall could have been on a whole nother level, 6 top 5 picks and yall hit on 1 or 2 of those( depending on how you feel about Waiters). Yall could have been on some superteam shyt like the late 80s Lakers, but you guys still have a shot to do that next month.

Waiters was a blown pick because we could of had Drummond or barnes..

Believe it or not I think if given minutes barnes would put up better numbers,l,and Drummond would of hands down been the best pick.

Then we could of picked oladipo last year.

C:Drummond
PF:Thompson
SF:Deng
SG:Oladipo
PG:Irving

Simmons got to see Embiid workout last week -

Q: Wait … what? You watched Joel Embiid work out last week?

A: Yes — at a secret location in Santa Monica. He wasn’t playing against anyone, just going through a two-hour workout with Will Perdue. Here’s what I can tell you: He moves around as effortlessly as a 7-foot Serge Ibaka; he’s such an athletic freak that he’s one of those “still going up as he’s finishing the dunk” guys; his freakish wingspan might make Jay Bilas pass out; he has been playing basketball for only four years (which seems impossible); he gave up a world-class volleyball career; he has 3-point range; he can shoot jump-hooks with both hands already; he couldn’t have seemed more coachable/agreeable/likable; he’s a hard worker with a goofy sense of humor; his voice is just a touch Mutombo-y (deep with a heavy African accent); and his friends call him “Jo-Jo.” And again — his back seemed totally fine.

News flash: As I said on TV before the lottery, Embiid was always going first. None of these teams was passing on him. Repeat: none of them. The amount of smokescreening going on in April and May was high comedy. We keep hearing his back is really screwed up, this could be another Oden situation … Just stop it. This was like sitting at a fantasy football auction next to someone who kept claiming that he wasn’t going to pay big money for a QB … and then, two hours later, he’s bidding $49 for Aaron Rodgers. The truth is, Wiggins and Parker never separated themselves enough this season to warrant anyone saying, “We’re passing on a potential franchise center with a good chance of becoming the 7-foot Serge Ibaka.”

So Embiids ceiling is a 7 foot ibaka? Doesn't seem like such a high ceiling.

I was never in favor of Jimmer Fredette, ask @Sonny Corinthos and @LezJepzin and @2pac_Westside. I hated that we traded our pick, moved back, and took on the bigger contract in John Salmons and got the lesser pick out of it. Kings fans on here knew the only reason we drafted Jimmer was cause the Maloofs wanted to get asses in the seats.

Me personally, I wanted Leonard or Brandon Knight, we needed a 3 badly and a guard to put next to Tyreke. So instead of just grabbing him or Knight, they decided to try John Salmons again even though they traded him to the Bulls 3 years ago before that.

And the dumb shyt about the trade was, if they wanted fukking Jimmer, they could of just drafted him at where they were at instead of trading back and adding more salary.

i recall you arguing me down about how jimmer didnt get a fair chance.
