Every year around this time I refresh draft simulators until we get the top pick and then I dream.

FWIW, 2nd pick on my second try.

I have a hunch the team will move up to the 4th spot and draft Reddish.

He will be available at 8 or 9. Very disappointing season.

Whats the deal on the 3 way tie at 12,13,14? Are we definitely 14 if we dont' move up? Or are coin flips happening

36th pick (Washington via Denver)
51st pick (OKC; Diallo trade)

A reminder that that OKC trade was for last years 41st pick and cash. We basically sold the pick but made it look like it wasn't because of that.

Ham was pretty decent last season too, would've helped our defense.

Random draw, of which we won.

Minor ding for us here, as OKC winning this draw means they lose in the 2nd, so the pick owed to us will be 52. But screw the Celtics, so all good.

Last note on these, but this is the draw Denver would've been in had they not clawed back late the other night. Had they been drawn last they'd get pick 27 in the first, with the reverse order in the 2nd giving them pick 55. The pick owed to New Orleans was top 55 protected, so in that scenario they would've had to send them Washington's pick and we'd be stuck with 55. Instead we get Washington's 36.

Yay. I know the odds are the same but 12 vs. 14 pick makes me feel a lot better

We won a coin toss, woo hoo! Now, watch the guys at 13 and 14 both get top 4 picks and move us back to 14 :lol:

The new lottery odds are great but teams 11-14 should get the same odds as the T-Wolves are getting currently at a top 4 pick
Punish the superbad teams

Need to build a temple to the basketball gods before the lottery so we can get zion.
