If Stern really liked us he would Give Toronto the first, second or third pick this year and give us the 3rd pick next year :lol:

Lottery Picks are always valuable, tell me the last draft there wasn't a player drafted after the 4 pick better than Lowry. While it is true, the team still has to draft well, lottery picks always have the potential of picking up that D Wade.

That's bull! No franchise players in the draft, but there are quality players coming out this year.

OKC will probably end up with a pick in the 6-10 range. As the main piece from the Harden trade I wonder if they still consider it a success.

The main piece was obviously Kevin Martin....

In fact it was Martin then lamb then the pick.

There's a few guys who could develop into good nba centers in this draft and not being superstars is better for us since we'd have to get rid of them eventually that way.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

If it gets them a good sold center then yes for sure...they got a good player in Martin and of course Lamb. OKC are in good shape long term.
