One of them will get #1

That’s kind of an interesting question?
Is there a clear #1 pick?

 

[Everything Beagle]

It'll happen

Please understand it wouldn’t have been top 3 if we’d kept the pick. You all need to understand this deep in your souls.

If the Clippers are moving on from Kawhi, they might get it. I could see the NBA gifting it to GSW though.

A team that really needs it, probably won't get it.

 

[RR7]

Golden States pick.
If that moves into the top 4 it will upset a few people.
Or the Clippers.
I really don’t want to see either of those teams get a top 3 pick.

Clippers pick goes to OKC, so that will really upset people.

 

[Chris Craig]

Definitely going to the Clippers then.

Damn. I didn’t even realize that.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Damn. I didn’t even realize that.

Is the lottery before or after the WCF? I could see the league deciding on the number one pick based on how the WCF goes if the lotto is after or during the conference finals.

Okay, so they’ll have to speculate on whether OKC needs help next year before rigging the lottery. It’s heady decisions like these that justify Adam Silver’s paycheck.

 

[kjironman1]

I’m waiting for someone to chime in with “Earnst and Young” would never allow that comment.

Oh yeah, that's me. Risk vs Reward, ambitious reporters who would out the league and every other involved institution, fucking dumbass conspiracy theory culture...

 

[kjironman1]

So far it seems like the Lakers might give OKC a decent series.

Oh I expect many sleepless nights on his comfy bed next to his piles of cash in his ivory tower. He might even need a raise.

lol at SGA “technically basketball is a team sport”

The kid from BYU I believe.

That was sure an interesting statement. I just can't stand SGA, though,.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Players should have more pride than this, but the reality is, it happens quite often to vets on a team that is tanking.

Erik Slater: MPJ once again said that he took his foot off the gas after not making the All-Star team: "I regret that once I didn’t make that All-Star game, I let my foot off the gas because there really wasn’t anything we were playing for anymore. We couldn’t make the playoffs, I couldn’t be an All-Star... I wasn’t in the weight room as much, I wasn’t preparing as much, and my three-point percentage dropped."

So all-NBA consideration is worthless. Good to know...

 

[julius]

Mavs hire Schmitz.

 

[ant]

Mavs hire Schmitz.

Will he be interested in trading for Yang?

 

[wizenheimer]

Mavs hire Schmitz.

kind of surprising

maybe he can take Yang with him

 

[andalusian]

Congratulations to Mr. Schmitz.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Good hire by Dallas -- IF Cronin would have been fired I think he might have been a good choice so take his place.

I’m hearing Blazers have offered all their Bucks picks to move into top 5

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Funny part is I’d do it if I could get top 4 pick I’d gamble and give up my Bucks picks especially knowing the new draft rules.

If I’m one of those teams with pick 3-5 I’d consider it, since you’d have not only your picks but also Bucks picks.

 

[julius]

That's probably more likely than getting Giannis, and even that is unlikely.

If you aren’t careful he might just take ‘Tisse and Rob Williams with him

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, the chances of our lovely new owner sticking a crowbar in his wallet for them are pretty slim

 

[wizenheimer]

that's the thing about UFA's. If they don't have any attachment to their former team, that former team will have to pay more to keep them around

Thybulle signed with Dallas the last time he was a free agent; RFA back then. Cronin made a mistake matching the contract IMO. Timelord may have some suitors but I'd bet that any offer's he gets are going to take his durability into account

 

[wizenheimer]

I watched the 4th Q of the Spurs/Wolves game....talk about officials 'letting them play'....geeeezzzuzzz....I saw about 174 fouls in 12 minutes
