Orlando with two of the top three picks!

God I hope so. I don't know what I would do to my friends that are Knick fans if their pick was the one that ended up being a top 3.

Nothing is guaranteed with that team lol who ever they draft might turn out to be a bust just because they were drafted by the Cavs, they're a cursed team. Kyrie Irving is a good player but has not lived up to expectations due to poor conditioning/injuries. Bennett is not even worth mentioning.

Bucks' fans should get excited, you can land either Wiggins or Parker to that talented team.

Mayo
Knight
Parker or Wiggins
Ersan
Sanders

no excuses anymore for the Bucks' after decades of mediocrity they might finally turn things around.

Yeah, I think Philly is also in a good spot. Regardless of who is picked 1/2 they take the leftovers of the Wiggins/Parker/Embiid triumvirate, then the #10 to complete their starting 5.

Im fine with the way the lottery turned out, the important thing is that the Magic and Sixers didn't get 2 high picks. that could have made them real dangerous real soon.

The Cavs and Bucks, even with their picks, aren't a threat anytime soon.

Underrated move by the Bucks was trading talented but out-of-control Jennings for a less talented but super steady PG in Knight. Other than that, I think the Bucks - just like Cleveland - are turning into the LA Clippers of years past. A bunch of high picks and youth that gets nowhere to eventually reset the roster/coach and start over again. Kind of like a farm system for the rest of the league :D

Fans and owners care more about which team LeBron, Wade, and Bosh join than they do about the NBA being rigged. Every since being caught rigging the Ewing draft, the NBA has done all lottery drawings behind cameras. And this is acceptable? I would figure this would be the last lottery before owners and fans get outraged and demand a new system or demand that it be done on camera with an independent inspector checking the entire process afterwards for any funny business.

This draft was not rigged. Why would the NBA rig it so CLEVELAND and the BUCKS get pick one and two? No one gives a fck about them 2 teams. Their first picks will probly want out of the teams after their rookie contract. Lakers and Celtics pick 7 and 6? If it was even slightly rigged one of them woulda been top 5 at least.

Those teams have been awful forever now (in NBA terms). The Cavs were devastated after LeBron left and were pure garbage before his arrival. The last time the Bucks were good was when George Karl was coaching and Ray Allen was with them them. Before that, they were garbage just like Cleveland.

I think I can actually find you a thread on Prosportsdaily.com I had made predicting the NBA-owned Hornets, who needed to sell, would win the #1 pick after they traded away Chris Paul.

I mean, if someone who doesn't see that the team that needs it always gets it in the Stern socialist regime that Adam Silver is now running, then there is no hope for you. Please continue as you were:
