Why That Cavaliers Crew Was So Crazy, and More Observations From Inside the NBA Draft Lottery Room

Hilarious read from Zach Lowe:

Nope. Machine Gun Kelly, MGK, is a real Cleveland-based rapper who needed help tying his bow tie on the private jet the Cavaliers group took to New York on Tuesday. He told me after the lottery that he has replaced LeBron as Cleveland’s cultural touchstone. “One bounced and one stayed,” he said. “It was an easy choice. Machine Gun Kelly is like the voice of Cleveland.”

When the Cavaliers leapfrogged into the top two picks, the group, seated about 25 feet to my right, broke out in loud applause and some muffled shouting. When NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver announced Orlando had “won” the no. 2 pick, the Cleveland guys didn’t even wait a beat before celebrating. They screamed and clapped. One young man, a season-ticket holder who had won a contest to join the group, stood up, raised his arms, extended his index fingers in the “We’re no. 1” gesture, and mugged for the cameras as if a sports team had actually accomplished something that involved skill.

Three of the player representatives — Bradley Beal, Kevin Love, and Damian Lillard — were seated consecutively on the dais, which meant they got to make small talk among themselves during the frequent ad breaks, instead of having to force it with a GM or team president. They mostly just checked their cell phones, but the seating arrangement paid off big time during the Cavaliers' raucous celebration. Lillard smirked, looked at the floor, and shook his head, clearly astonished at the reaction, and muttered something out of the side of his mouth to Love. Minnesota’s franchise player chuckled in response and gave the Cleveland group a bit of a side-eye. He politely confirmed to me afterward that he and Lillard were indeed trying to absorb what was happening.
