Whom do you want to win the lottery?

Nice, I was hoping it would be all East in the top 3.

Really glad the Jazz didn't jump up. That could have been devastating.

So, Wall to the Wizards (who do they have left there, now?), Turner to the Sixers (better fit for them anyway), and Cousins to the Nets, or do they take Favors? Either way, they're going to have a hell of a frontline combo with him and Lopez.

Oh, but what does this mean for Yi's all-star chances next year?

 

[Sug]

Anyone have the actual order?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I was pulling for Washington. East coast team that will probably be the least impacted by the draft. They have some decent players, but there's still a ways to go.

Good for Washington.

I dunno--now that I think about it, they could have a decent starting 5, if Howard gets healthy.

PG--John Wall
SG--Nick Young
SF--Josh Howard
PF--Andray Blatche
C--Javale McGee

I wonder if their coach will have the balls to make Arenas a 6th man (assuming he's allowed to play). IMO, it'd probably be the best thing for them.

Just put Gil at the two spot, barring that it makes you wonder if they might end up retaining the services of Foye on the cheap, or if they somehow can attract a decent free agent now that they have what is likely a franchise player in Wall.

 

[THE HCP]

Speaking of the Wiz, I wonder if Blatche can continue to put up those huge #'s with Wall coming in and the return of Gilbert?

Not very likely.

Well, the Pistons players tell the story of Rasheed Wallace(notes) calling Saunders the “worst [bleeping] coward I’ve ever seen” after a loss in the 2008 Eastern Conference playoffs. Everyone was there. Everyone heard it. And nothing. Saunders took it, and watched his credibility and command of that team die a little more.
