Yikes, I couldn't get the #1 pick once. Got the #2 pick four times & the #3 pick four times though. Can't believe New York ends up in the top 3 twice considering their odds. Sacramento got the #1 pick the first five times I did it! Amazing

Edit: The Wiz finally got the pick on the 18th try, only after Indiana (at 0.7% odds got it). :-?

Wizards got the number 1 pick on my first try! Hopefully that's good luck for us.

Jamison should be traded in that case. That along with letting Etan & Mike James' contracts expire would alleviate much of this team's financial concerns. Maybe we could also solve the SG problem by trading Jamison for an SG.

Griffin is too good to sit on the bench. And its not like Jamison has been brining us a bunch of wins this year.

It would never happen, but if Griffin's drafted the logical move would be for the Wizards to trade Jamison and Stevenson for Vince Carter and Sean Williams.
Bye bye Beal.

Why would NJ do that?

The Clippers are putting forth an embarrassing effort tonight. They've got Baron Davis, Chris Kaman, Marcus Camby and Eric Gordon on that squad, and they can't beat the lowly Thunder at home? Come on!

Yeah, we've been overly cautious with Arenas, but at least the players on the floor try to win games. If there is any justice, the Wizards will pick ahead of the Clippers in the draft.

nate, they probably wouldn't. They've got 136 PFs on the team. I can dream, though.

The Clippers now losing 49-29. Seriously, somebody needs to call David Stern. There's got to be some kind of rule against playing this poorly. For god's sake, at least tank with dignity.

Judging from the game thread and Dixon's performance in the two Raptors games, I don't know if we can talk about other teams tanking anymore.

Now I see. I think when I just reread it there saying that when the split the difference it will come out to like 177.5 for both teams and there is a coin flip to see who gets that last ball. When do they have that coin flip? I hope we get it. Its not huge but everything counts :D
