NBA draft lottery

[Mediocre Man]

Please post your guesses/conspiracy theories here

 

[Scalma]

Since I saw the actual drawing from last years draft I no longer buy the conspiracy angle but if Boston or LA win tonight...I'll renew my faith.

 

[illmatic99]

Just don't want a western team winning.

 

[Schilly]

I don't believe in the conspiracy theories at all. I know the mathematical odds show low likelihood, but its not markedly unusual for a 5 or 6 to move to the top 3. Certainly not unusual enough for me to start stomping my foot and screaming "conspiracy!"

 

[BigGameDamian]

Depending what the Blazers do in free agency I think Glen Rice Jr. might be a good fit for the Blazers for the backup SF spot.

 

[Schilly]

Would you guys trade Batum and CJ for the Lakers pick and Nash?

depending on the # of their pick.

 

[Schilly]

Say they stick at 6

 

[julius]

Say they stick at 6

I wouldn't be upset if they did that trade. I like Nic, but I'm kind of tired of waiting for him to be consistently aggressive.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Would you guys trade Batum and CJ for the Lakers pick and Nash?

No!

 

[Sedatedfork]

I just have this feeling that the Jazz will win it.

 

[HailBlazers]

No!

Nash is toast, ever since he ran into Damian he's never been the same.

BGD said something that I agree with? Oh crap--I need to go back to bed.

In all seriousness though, I would love it if we somehow got into the draft and picked up GR3. I was hoping we would get him at 10 last year before he decided to stay back another year.

 

[HailBlazers]

I have a feeling that wherever Parker is slated to go the Jazz will get that spot.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Would you guys trade Batum and CJ for the Lakers pick and Nash?

Ooh. Tough one. Great question. For me it would have to be for the right player.

That was Cowherds conspiracy theory winner

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I hope it goes bad for the WC.

#1 - Bucks
#2 - 76ers
#3 - Magic
#4 - Celtics (Jazz fall)

I really hope the Lakers dont get in the top 3!!

 

[Schilly]

If I could get Exum to be Damian's backcourt mate for the future I would do it. It wouldn't hurt if I also knew I could convince Deng to take the MLE.

Ya, Exum or Wiggins would be the guys. Then this team should be able to convince a quality NBA SF to sign with them

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Would you guys trade Batum and CJ for the Lakers pick and Nash?

CJ, but not Batum.

I think CJ is an undersized 2 guard with no real future in the league.

 

[Schilly]

CJ might get you a 28 pick this year.

Waiting, waiting and more waiting. Isn't that what the Blazers for best. Waiting for potential to blossom.

 

[santeesioux]

If i was a betting man, i would bet that the Lolkers or Boston wins.

 

[Schilly]

Waiting, waiting and more waiting. Isn't that what the Blazers for best. Waiting for potential to blossom.

Better than waiting for guys to be 10 years past their prime then thinking they will put you up that next step.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I've said the L*kers would tank this year and get the #1-3 pick ever since D12 ditched them. Just the way shit works. Hope I'm wrong, but you could see this coming from a mile away.

 

[Draco]

Would you guys trade Batum and CJ for the Lakers pick and Nash?

No, I don't like that deal for either team. The Lakers can get more value in a trade of that pick or just keep it. That trade doesn't make them a contender, and they still couldn't add a free agent to become a contender; so what's the point?

For the Blazers we need veterans like Batum to coincide with LaMarcus prime. The #6 pick will be years away from being a quality starter. That would waste the prime years of Wes and Rolo too.

It would be a great deal if we were also doing another trade; trading away LaMarcus and rebuilding around Damian though.

 

[Masala716]

Want all eastern conference teams in the top 3.

 

[Draco]

That was Cowherds conspiracy theory winner

If the NBA is rigging the system to make LA and NY suck while Utah, Cleveland, New Orleans get all the benefits I don't mind, haha

 

[Draco]

If I could get Exum to be Damian's backcourt mate for the future I would do it. It wouldn't hurt if I also knew I could convince Deng to take the MLE.

I'd rather have LeBron or Carmello for the MLE.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I got one name for you....Andrew Wiggins!
