The Wolves!
They have not gotten a top 5 pick in a long long time
It's about time they are due a high pick, and since KG is gone, let the conspiracy theories begin :lol:

memphis. this will prove that their decision to deal pau gasol was a great move on their part. gigantic ending contract in kwame, so they have plenty of capspace. rising star in that kid out of UCONN. and given time to gel with that kid rose out of memphis, that team will have a solid foundation to build upon. still need more parts. but thats a good start.

For some apparent reason I hope Seattle wins the lottery. I don't want Miami due to them being a Southeast team.

Portland- new dynasty team, Charlotte- team could use a little help, or Minnesota- Beasley/Jefferson...Nasty.

I just don't want to see Miami get it (really bothered by Pat Riley taking game days off to scout), or New York.

oh man, i'm already lookin at portlands team that weve been facing this past year, without the bigman in the middle. they were tough. place more talent on that team and everybody in the western conference will be put on notice.

Anyone but Miami. I want a truly bad team to win. Not a tanking worthless excuse for an NBA franchise. Same way Boston got screwed last year.

If its not Portland, then I'm pulling for the Clippers and Indiana, with Minny and Seattle falling down as far as possible for obvious rivalry related reasons.
Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.

Many many people will (well, maybe not move). Just check Boston this year.
