    Trade bait/showcase?

    Possible pattern to these draft lotteries?

    Francis gone after 2 seasons, Brooks gone after 1 season,.. Lowry gone in the off-season?

    So we know it's Lowry, but could you imagine if they sent Clutch the Bear? And then when/if we win, he would pull out the silly string and spray everyone down.

    Those lottos are always so quiet and calm. He would definitely spruce up an otherwise very laid back event.

    Good find. Thanks. After reading through this, it seems like the Wizards would the most likely target team for us to trade with. They are in need of a young SF who can defend the perimeter and at #4 they are to far off from any good SF prospects outside of Vesely. Terrence Williams + playerx and #23?

    For a BBS where statistics rank next to god, some of you are struggling with basic arithmatic. Or possibly the desire to use a search engine. :p

    The Rockets' odds of landing the #1 pick in 2002 from the #5 Lottery position was 89 ping pong balls in 1,000. Or 8.9%.


    The 2011 odds of a #14 seed are 5 ping pong balls in 1,000. That's 1 ball for each 200 or 0.5%.

    http://www.mynbadraft.com/nba-draft-lottery-odds

    Neither of these values are remotely close to 1 ball in 55. That's 18.2 balls per thousand or 1.8%.

    We're not talking about the #1 pick specifically. Any top 3 pick would be spectacular for us.

    I lol'd at this. :)

    [Insert something funny using Tron here.]

    I'm hoping against hope, though.

    I'm ALL for hope. That's why there are plenty of Texas Lottery tickets strewn around my house. But I'm still planning on going to work Monday morning. ;)

    How bitter sweet would it be if our lucky charm Lowry got us a top 2 pick and we ended up selecting Kyle Irving?

    1 in 55 are the odds of moving up in the lotto from the 14th spot into the top 3.

    We have a 98.2% chance of getting the 14th pick, meaning we have a 1.8% chance of getting a top 3 pick (1 chance in 55)

    Very interesting indeed. I wonder how they would feel about Martin and some other goodies.

    I was thinking more along the lines of Lowry and goodies. They are looking for another PG to mentor Rubio.
