Draft lottery question

So if our name doesn't come up at 10 does that mean we're getting a top 3 pick?

Exactly. It also means that Lakers fans will have a collective heart attack. So win-win really.

IIRC if they will reflect the trade that has been made so it's actually if Sacramento doesn't come up by 10 it means we're getting a top 3 pick. Keep in mind that someone behind us could jump so Sacramento at 11 is just as bad for us as Sac at 10.

Great here's hoping their name doesn't pop up at 11 or 10 then lol

Let's be mean.

Say we get top 3 pick, and 2 others team below the Kings at 8 complete the top 3 (Heat and Pistons for exemple)
This would mean we keep our pick, Lakers pick goes to Philly, and Sacto pick goes to Chicago as it would be out of the top 10.
That scenario leaves Kings and Lakers without 1st rounder and I would be delighted.

Then the Lakers wait for Westbrook, and yes possibly Cousins. Be careful what you wish for.

If you're going to be a doomsday prepper at least put together a realistic disaster scenario. [emoji23][emoji28][emoji23][emoji28][emoji23][emoji28]

Odds would say so. However, it is fun to hope.

The Celtics have a 25% chance of winning the lottery.

Yeah, that trade by the Nets even looks worse now than it did when they made it.

If the Pelicans got the 1st pick, would the Wizards consider #1 and a future pick for John Wall?

So are we making this the official thread?

PF, maybe we could change the title?

If that happens give Demps an extension. Only if that happens!

It looks great for Boston. It's funny that Garnett and Pierce could give two different championship teams to Boston :)

The Wizards are an up and coming young team that just made it to the 2nd round. There's no way they are looking to hit the reset button. The only way they do that is if John Wall forces a trade.

I would assume so. Though I'd focus more on Butler.

We get a top three pick it's probably going to Chicago for Butler and I'd be good with that [emoji1303]

Yea the Butler trade would be awesome indeed. I do also like the idea of trading for Kemba Walker + Batum, though. Or Middleton + Brogdon + pick.

MM was talking about trades along these lines a couple weeks back. I know the general consensus is to go after PG or Butler but I would rather do either of these trades (or ones similar). We have our stars now we need solid starters. Imagine:

Kemba
Moore
Batum
AD
Boogie

That's a top 3 team automatically. I think getting a star like PG or Butler is going to have more growing pains than adding 2-3 good starters. Also I'm hesitant on Butler in general but thats a whole other topic. Odds have it that none of this will happen anyway but it's fun to think about it.

That would be awesome if we can trade a top 3 pick and Hill (salary dumb) for Jimmy Butler. Also, We can work out a deal to somehow get Rubio from the Wolves. I know I'm dreaming but that would be sweet!

I just have the weirdest feeling that we're going to get a top-3 pick. Been feeling it for weeks, and today's media coverage has been strangely mentioning us in the top-3. Ramona Shelbourne was interviewing Lonzo and LaVar Ball and asked how he'd feel if he didn't go to the Lakers, but instead went to another high pick "like New York or New Orleans." Then just a few minutes ago, I see a round table discussion, and they all start talking about how great it would be for the Pels franchise is Boogie and Davis got some help with a top-3 pick.

Weird, but exciting!

I do wish we could find a way to get Rubio if Thibs is still down on him.

Me too bud. I'm trying to temper my expectations, but the possibilities that could arise with a Top 3 pick are endless.

Same. It's just a weird feeling I'm getting as well. Like last year when we were had the 6th pick, I never really had the vibes that we were gonna win. Haven't had this vibe since 2012 lottery when we got AD. I know what the odds are saying, but idk man. Something just feel off. In the best way possible.

Honestly if we don't win, I'm estatic for our second rounder. Alot of good players will be there still.

Judging by what is on twitter the Pelicans have begun work on that 2nd round draft pick

https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/s...41341665157124

2nd round should be decent this year.

Use the block feature. I can't emphasize it enough. I used it on two posters (I'm sure you can guess who) and my experience here has been enhanced to say the least.

I'd give my left foot for Walker @12 mill for a couple of yrs., but ain't no way I'm taking Batum on that contract. Especially if we have to give Boogie 30+

On the plus side, you're more than likely shedding Asik's contract in that transaction, while filling a position of need.
