Predict the Lottery! 

Post#1 » by 10B10 » Mon May 17, 2010 5:26 pm

Since the lottery is tomorrow after all (has been kind of lost in all the LeBron talk), why not get this thread going?

I'm thinking:

1. Nets
2. Kings
3. 76ers

The Kings tanked, the basketball gods won't give them top 3.

1. NOR
2. NJN
3. GSW

NOR will get #1 since they're the team that needs Wall the least.

1. Min
2. NJ
3. Utah

Minnesota is going to win, just because it would be funny if they got another PG.

If the Lottery is fixed the Pacers deserve to win after how stern handled the brawl in 04. He owes the pacers big time.

Oh wow would that be wonderful. But I must point out that the only time in the last 20 years that Washington did well in the lottery was 2001, where we were rewarded with, um, Kwame Brown. So while I'd love to see that, my guess is there will be at least two teams past #5 that eak in ahead of WAS, putting WAS at #7.

IT IS....which is why Indiana or Philly will win it. Both previously proud and money grossing franchises that need a PG

So....

1. IND or PHI
2. NJN (to ease the pain and cover up with the fact Turner should fit in perfectly)
3. SAC (to put Cousins with Reke and rev up another franchise that needs a boost)
4. GSW (because Favors should also be a perfect fit when Nellie is sober)

TWolves get the shaft as they have never been a big market, draft maybe Wes Johnson or Aminu, do crappy yet again all while Stern hopes to see them relocate to Vegas and maybe get Barnes the following year to pair with Rubio & Jefferson and all is forgiven.

1. NJN-Wall is destined to join Lebron there
2. GSW-(homerism aside) Stern needs to drive the Dubs sale price up
3- UTAH-THey need a true center to contend and it will be made so.

No offense, but anyone who doesn't pick the Nets to win the lottery is a moron.

Ok, maybe it is offensive.
