Well, Portland gets rewarded for tanking. If they had not, The Magic would be in that slot that is now Top-4.

We were in that spot for most of the year and Portland did to us what Dallas did to us to get Luka.

I’m generally OK with 6 and 11. I’ll be pissed if Portland gets top 3.

I mean I assume we should be able to get someone good with 6 and 11, but this just goes to show that tanking still works.

Can't play Hindsight Harry with draft slots though. If 6 moved and 5 didn't.. etc, etc.

Time for some sour grapes. We already have our alpha in Paolo, no need to upset the apple cart with a top pick in this years draft. We can get our guys at 6 & 11 and prosper. Wemby is a walking injury waiting to happen.

6 and 11 is fine, obviously not jumping for joy, but it's fine. 7 and 11 was expected. Also it's generally good for us that Detroit is the team pushed down and an additional west team jumped up.

Also my stream is a tad behind, so not watching/posting much now.
