2016 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY THREAD 

Post#1 » by TBbucmagicORL » Tue May 17, 2016 10:07 pm

ESPN 8:00pm eastern time

I believe we have a something like a 0.8% chance to get the #1 pick. Last time we were supposed to pick #11 in '93 the 1 ping pong ball with our logo out of 66 others made it, it can happen.

I've played more than enough Pokemon and Fire Emblem to know that 99.2% is not 100%.

With that said, it's not gonna happen.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

At least we get our fate early. We will pick 11. I hope those late wins at the end of the season were worth it.

Isn't there also a need to have Lakers get a 4+ pick, to earn their 2018 first rounder?

I think Mutombo just clicked on some mock draft link, saw Philly no 1 and thought it was real. Don't think he knows anything.

It would be epic if Philly picks 4th or 5th. What would Dikembe say then?

The actual lottery is supposed to take place RIGHT before the TV event (45min-1hr)... He's either BS'ing or this ish is actually rigged.

Makes sense... They basically forced Hinkie out. Now they gift the 1st pick to Colangelo to 'fix' what Hinkie did :noway:
