And what have Charlotte and Minnesota been in the millennium? Charlotte has been worse than us.

And we never had top picks like those franchises had several times in that span

shyt ain’t fair mayne :mjcry:

the point is if the lottery was rigged like idiots think ,then New York or the lakers woulda won it at least once in the last 5 years.especially with zion and luka being in those same drafts, it’s a random lottery not rigged by the commissioner

Do you think that it's enough assets to move up for a big?
For the bigs they'll want? Probably not unless some team up top would rather have more bodies than high end talent. Assuming Ojeleye re-ups with them, that's 13 guys under contract guaranteed (Hayward and Kanter will pick up their options and $5 mil to Theis is a no brainer for Ainge.) There's just no room, so I have to stash someone for them.

side note: this lottery is why the West remains so dominant with talent. The 2 worst west teams get top 2 picks. It just keeps replenishing talent on that side. Whoever sucks for the West next year is gonna be up there again, so it'll be Golden State and whoever else loses a lot. They could keep adding talent.

I don’t think that Golden State will make it to the Finals next year, but I also don’t think that they will be a bottom feeder team. The Draymond regression this year has to be alarming to them even if they believe it’s more so a product of the injuries to Klay and Steph.

There just isn’t that impact player in the draft for them this year that can get them back to contender status. Even if they have a plan to get Giannis, I don’t see how they pull it off as the 2nd pick isn’t enticing enough to take on Wiggins contract and COVID-19 is going to put further strain on cap space.

They’ll be in the hunt because they have Seattle’s pick top 3 protected.
