Alvin's reaction.

Just standing, arms wide, and walking around the room in silence for three seconds before dropping the F yeah!

This is awesome!

Here's what happened. When the Lakers & Memphis jumped, we would have had to drop a spot or MOVE into top 4. So, once the 8th pick was NOT us, we couldn't be 7th. Because 2 had already jumped us. That's why we showed up during 8th pick.

Griffin said Jrue reached out to him and expressed a lot of excitement about Pelicans winning the lottery.

Jrue is excited to play with Zion

Keep in mind, we won TWO lottery's. If we had lost the tie breaker lottery we'd be picking where Memphis OR ATL picked. Had we lost that lottery we could have been picking 10th. Think about how much that would change things.

Yeah, when Washington was announced as #9, it meant that Washington fell down below both Memphis and New Orleans, who thereby were both guaranteed to be in the top 4.

Not only this, but think of the things that had to happen for us to get to this spot. Boogie had to get injured and everything that came after. And then AD had to choose Rich Paul. And then Rich Paul had to pull his pre-all star break maneuver.

One of these things doesn't happen and we're likely not sleeping well tonight.

The draft lottery happened at 1:30am my time. It's now 8:41am. I haven't slept a minute.

Pretty incredible when you look at it like this. The butterfly effect!

So I had company swing by last night and I was pretty much drunk by the time the draft started. My friend is NOT a basketball guy and had no idea what I was watching and didn't quite understand the Pels/Lakers drama. But man... When I saw the Pels jump into the top 4, I flipped. Then when i saw the Grizzlies get 2nd, I flipped again. I ended up getting very inebriated. It was a good night.
