Which Team will benefit the most from winning the Lottery

TheNewEra · Post #21 » by **TheNewEra** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 5:56 am

Personally as a Clip fan may get flamed but I agree we don't exactly need the Number 1 pick we have to address some internal problems.Coaching is our number one issue. With that I wouldn't mind falling a little and taking Jordan Hill who would be a strong complement to DeAndre Jordan while building on our young core.

On a need basis I hope Memphis gets it Conley,Mayo,Ga.y, Griffin, and Gasol would be dangerous with Warrick, Arthur and Miles off the bench is a talented team. One issue is still no veteran on the court leadership even the Portland TrailBlazer have a Steve Blake and the Atlanta Hawks have Mike Bibby those types of players are needed.

If Memphis gets 1 I'd give 2 to Sac so the can pick up Ricky Rubio. Rubio and Martin backcourt

.

I like rather when teams fill needs in drafts so:

1.Grizz Blake Griffin
2.Kings-Ricky Rubio
3.Wizards-James Harden
4.Clippers-Jordan Hill
5.Thunder-Thabeet

Would be a perfect draft in my eyes.

tyler hansborough is an exceptionally unathletic white dude with "high iq" and "fundamentals" and "championship pedigree" so you just might end up with him at #2

I am Thunder fan

As a basketball fan I would like to see Sacto win the lottery. They have a no superstars. Kevin Martin is a good guy and a great player, but he's no superstar.

As a Thunder fan

I want get #1 or #2 pick and draft Rubio or Griffin. If we draft Rubio, I am happy if we keep him or package him to sacto for Kevin Martin.

I want memphis to get it. I want to them put this line on the floor....

SF:Gay
PF:Griffen
C:Gasol
SG:Mayp
PG:Conley

I like this team that have the scores in Gay and Mayo, that have the floor leader, and adding Griffen to Warick and Gasol would give them a powerful front court to back it all up

I say Sac should get the pick. Their fan base deserves a better team

Without a doubt the Kings deserve the 1st pick, id like to see them successful again. I cant believe people think the Clips should get it, they have the talent just a crap front office and coach!!

Kings. They need a franchise player. Kevin Martin isn't one, Blake Griffin has the potential to be one.

I'll be happy with Knicks getting Rubio with #2 pick.

I may be alone here, but I would really like the Bobcats to win. They need to get out of that 30-35 win range with late lottery picks that don't give them an immediate improvement. Part of that is drafting choice, but if they got #1 it would be a no brainer. I was really rooting for them to make it to the playoffs over this year's heartless Pistons team (and believe me I'm no Pistons hater).

If they somehow won and didn't royally blow their pick they could finally make it to the playoffs and have a player who could be the true face of the franchise, which they really lack. They're an easy team to root for, they always play hard but just come up short in a lot of games. I'd like to see them rewarded for not giving up or tanking.

LMAO @ bringing Shaq off the Bunch. Arguable the best player in NBA history coming off the bench. Sure buddy whatever you say.

It should be the Grizz they would have a set line-up for the next decade if they got Griffin.
Gasol
Griffin
Gay
Mayo
Conley
That's got greatness written all over it and if they can trade Gay for a unselfish play maker that has a good rebounding game and defense (A. Randolph) they can look even more fantastic.

The Kings. They need all the help they can get.

Mamba Venom · Post #34 » by **Mamba Venom** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:49 pm

A team close that has only 1 missing piece

Think Spurs before Duncan:

Griffen is no Duncan but there are some teams that could be great

Wiz
Suns
Thunder could become be as loaded as the Blazers

Call me biased but even if I was neutral, I would say the Knicks.

The Knicks have NO future stars or franchise players on their squads.

Take a look at the teams in the lottery:

Indiana-Danny Granger
Charlotte-Okafor, Wallace
Milwaukee-Redd, Bogut, RJ
NJ-Harris, Lopez, Carter
Toronto-Bosh, Calderon
NY-Harrington? Lee? Robinson? Wil Chandler?
Wash-Arenas, Butler, Jamison
PHX-Stoudemire, Nash, Shaq, JRich
GS-Ellis, Biedrins, SJAX
Mem-Mayo, Gay, Conley were all top picks
OKC-Durant, Green, Westbrook
Minny-Al Jeff, Brewer was a top pick,
LAC BDavis, Camby, Z-Bo(haha), Gordon
SAC-Kevin Martin, maybe Hawes

The Knicks are the one team without a sure-fire future all-star, although Wilson Chandler has shown signs and Lee is a double-double machine, these players are far from guys that can lead a team to the playoffs or guys that can change the course of a game.

If you were to rank the aforementioned players, I'm sure many of you would put the Knicks guys on the bottom of the talent pool.

Plus Isiah traded our 2010 first rounder. We NEED this top pick!!!

The next team that really needs a pick is Sacramento. They've just been really bad recently. And Arco Arena gets wild as hell when they're good. Then you can say Minnesota because like the Knicks, they have been mismanaged severely.

no. not arguably. not the same sentence, not the same conversation, not the same universe.

john2jer · Post #37 » by **john2jer** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 3:50 pm

Brewer was a top pick? #7 is a top pick?

Minnesota wants #2. I don't even want to have to deal with the mess of deciding on Griffin or Rubio, and then what to do with Love, Jefferson, and Griffin if we take Blake.

Post #38 » by **Rooster** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 4:56 pm

The Clippers need it most because it might be sufficient incentive for another team to take Randolph and/or Baron in a trade.

Basketballwise, though, definitely the Thunder or the Wizards. Both could use a guy with his skillset, and the Thunder would be nice for him if he wants to stay at home.

Kings could really use Rubio.

Lopez
Griffin
Carter
CDR/FA
