Lottery Tonight

[HornetGuru]

Didn?t see a thread. I?m gonna be watching it tonight so figured I?d post in here when it goes live. If we jump into the top 4 it?s gonna play a giant role in who we get via trade like Mac said.

Personally if it?s top 3 I wouldn?t trade the pick and take one of Cade, Mobley, and Green

Hoping to log back in here at 8pm and see a 25+ page lottery thread.

I mean. I like being so low on the totem this time. We'll know relatively quickly if we need to be hyped or not.

[Butters]

Fingers crossed for a top 3 pick!!!

[AusPel]

Inb4 14th

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Well if they don't get called at 11, 10 or 9....its top 4.

[Spaniard]

Well if they don't get called at 11, 10 or 9....its top 4.

We can’t pick 9th. If we aren’t called by ten, start throwing stuff in the air

[luckyman]

Surprised the loquacious one hasn't spoken today.

Good. People need to know this. We can't assume it's common knowledge. Even though it should be.

But whatever.

Yup

[luckyman]

I'm all prepared for this....complete non-move to 10th.

[13 - 3]

M.M says we are trading the pick so don’t get to excited

Assuming we don't win the top pick. But frankly, way I see it, we get into the top 4, the chances we get a really good player back dramatically increases. So it's still a reason to get excited.

I hope we draft Sabonis with 10th

It would be so sick to get a top 4 pick in this draft. I think the top 5 guys could all be number one picks most years. I would take anyone of them. Cade would hopefully replace Lonzo at the point and be our version of Luka. Green would be a sweet scoring Devin Booker type of 2 guard. Suggs would also replace Lonzo to run the point day one. Cade & Suggs could play off ball if we keep Kira and he’s as good as I think he will be. Having a backcourt of Kira & one of them would be sick since you have two players that can run the point. Mobley is the new center prototype to a T that can shoot it from deep. Kuminga could help our horrid defense on the wing.

1. Cade - looks to be special and likely going to be a star from day one. Luka?
2. Green - almost have him over Cade. I think he will be Star like Booker. I would argue 2 guard is our biggest need.
3. Suggs - going to be a helluva point guard. Kind of reminds me of Derrick Rose.
4. Mobley - a 7 footer that not only block shots & rebound, but can stretch the floor with his outside shot. Chris Bosh?
5. Kuminga - your prototype small forward with huge potential on the defensive end. Pascal Siakam, Jaylen Brown combo?

That would be my ranking for OUR team. I would almost put Kuminga over Mobley since we don’t really need a big with Zion & Jax, but Mobley has the chance to be special compared to Jax.

Can't wait when we are not a lottery team so I won't have to be so terrified to the lead up

You're too invested in something that's a 20% chance of happening. Disappointment incoming

Correct - the way I am thinking about the lotto is:

#1 - We get Cade
#2 - We have added the equivalent of 4 good 1sts to our war chest
#3 - We have added the equivalent of 3 good 1sts to our war chest
#4 - We have added the equivalent of 2 good 1sts to our war chest

*versus just staying at #10

So, if OG costs #10 and two firsts..... he would now cost just #4 if we got that lucky. Or, if we got #2, we'd probably even get something back with him for that pick.

Moving up means more picks is the easiest way to see it IMO

[luckyman]

Boy the Davion train has completely left the station. Just trade 10 please.

[hornetzplaya]

Number 10 it is

[Eman5805]

Alright. We pick 10th. Everybody chill.

[AusPel]

Unsurprised

[13 - 3]
