    Get Tillman to bribe NBA officials with unlimited Landry's and Golden Nugget credit to get the above result.

    I’ve hit the button three times this season and we got a top 4 pick every time. I’m not going to push my luck any more and just go into the lottery with positive vibes. If there were ever a year for us to get a result like that, this is the one.

    Isn’t that what Presti do to avoid having too many 1st round contracts on the roster? Just kicking the can.


    If we do get two lottery picks this year I would hope Houston would take calls to see if they can get an all star. Without trading the core 6(although I’m open to trade Jabari if it’s a clear upgrade for a all star at the 4/5 position

    There don't appear to be any this year, but I think that could actually benefit us. Our pick is likely to be mid lotto which would not help us in a top heavy draft. Even the worst draft classes have at least some decent prospects. For instance, 2013's class was supposed to be absolute trash. Anthony Bennett going #1 supports that, but Giannis was picked at #15 and is a back to back MVP. Even outside of Giannis, that year had CJ McCollum at #10, Steven Adams at #12, and Kelly Olynyk at #13. Contributors can be found even at our spot.

    Honestly. . .. the Edey guy intrigues me. I think a BIG of his size and scoring could work next to Alp
    Don't seem like alot of folx have him as a high high pick

    I’m not going to waste my time on that site this year.

    Last year was the year to really care about what number we picked. A little bit the previous two drafts, also.

    This year is kind of whatever to me.

    I think this is a good year to pay OKC’s pick. That way we can move on with our lives.

    Not how our trade with them works. We owe them future picks no matter what. But if it ends up in the top 4, then we get out of owing them something this year.
