    Man if we get Wemby, that increases of getting the infamous James Harden. Two things at stake here. Come on, one time!!!

    Got a feeling he’s going to Detroit, European stars don’t care where they play, they just wanna compete, Eastern conference is boring anyway, no way they put this 7’4 phenom in a stacked western conference

    Top 3 Draft lottery prediction:
    Pistons
    Spurs
    Rockets

    Pistons don’t deserve another first.

    predictions: Spurs, Charlotte or Portland.

    Analysts are calling him the 7ft6 Durant.

    What if he doesn't want to be down low all the time? Even more than Dirk at the perimeter.

    Waiving Harden off, I can bring up the ball myself.

    'The annual NBA draft lottery is always an odd affair. The results are determined before they are revealed, the actual lottery taking place in a room down the hall where ping-pong balls percolate and produce the winning numbers.

    The actual lottery is held an hour before the television reveal begins down the hall. Ping-pong balls numbered one through 14 are placed in a hopper, giving a possible 1,001 combinations when four balls are drawn from the machine. The teams are assigned a respective amount of those combinations, with their representatives, NBA officials and media observers given those combinations to follow along.

    After the rules are explained one last time, all 14 balls pop around the machine like movie theatre popcorn for 20 seconds. The first ball is removed, with the remaining balls mixed in 10-second intervals before another is removed.

    Once four balls have been picked, the winner and draft order are determined by matching the four-ball combination to the team assigned the same numbers.

    The process is repeated to assign the second, third and fourth picks. If a team has one of its combinations of balls emerge twice and does not hold two lottery picks, a scenario that occurred when the Rockets won the right to draft Yao and again with the Rockets’ third pick last season, the result is discarded, and another four-ball combination is selected.'

    I think the Rockets are going at 2 again. Spurs at 3 or 4.

    We're either getting Victor at #1 or packaging any other pick for Tyrese Haliburton. We're getting our young franchise stud either way. Any other scenario....

    I think it's a lock that the Spurs will get the top pick.

    Why in the world would Indiana consider trading Halliburton? They just got him a year ago and he has balled out for them.

    Less than 12 hours for the single most important event since game 7 at home for the WCF.

    I’m sick to my stomach honestly.

    Maybe they'd listen for a #2 Scoot Henderson, KPJ, KJM, and 2-3 extra firsts. Let me dream, fam.

    I'll be ecstatic with top 2, happy with 3-4 and disappointed with 5-6. But the lottery doesn't prevent the Rockets from getting an impact player in this draft. If they're at 5 or 6, they just need to do the work and find the right guy.
