NBA Draft Lottery, Thursday Aug. 20, 5:30 PM PT, ESPN

Well we didn’t drop back a spot. So there’s that

Alternatively, they’re just saving our luck for the next couple of years when there is a consensus top pick.

We’ll go with that one.

Let’s trade for the Warriors pick

 

[Tetsujin]

Getting the first overall pick in a soft draft seems like an incredibly post-Bulls MJ thing to have happen.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Holy cow.....can they stretch this out anymore? Need that money I guess

I mean, they've got the broadcast rights for the next game, and it's not scheduled to tip off until after 21:00 ET. What they got better to do, for the next ten minutes?

 

[krylia sovetov]

so it's gonna be achiuwa, nesmith or okoro...

Steph just seems confused to be there.

“Explain this ‘lottery’ concept to me once again?”

I hope GSW take weiseman dude is WCS jr

 

[Tetsujin]

Also, the T-Wolves getting the number one pick but in a draft where the top three players all pretty much play positions that they already have filled is certainly something unless they’re planning on backtracking on their Jarrett Culver hype.

I predict The new Kings GM trading the pick along with some other players(Bogi, Hield, etc) to move into the Top 4.

D-Lo and LaMelo fighting each other for the ball while KAT just waits for the ball at the top of the key.

This certainly isn’t the draft to be doing that so I guess that’s why it’s going to happen.

 

[chief bromden]

Pretty excited to have #12 knowing Papa G isn't eligible and we will have a different GM. This pick could end up being awesome

 

[Tetsujin]

Pretty excited to have #12 knowing Papa G isn't available in that range and we will have a different GM. This pick could end up being awesome

That middle range is where all the best value is this year so fingers crossed.

I was thinking buddy/12 for 2 but there’s literally nothing to get at 2 or 1. With Bagley/Fox being non shooters we can’t draft Melo or Edwards and Demi isn’t worth all that

Meanwhile DeFox is continuing to troll Knicks fans on Twitter. While I think it’s funny to troll the Knicks... glass houses and all that. Hahaha

As long as Dolan, hope they stay bad. Guy is annoying.

If anything I just want the Kings to be good again so the entire country can enjoy De’Aaron Fox.

Hey this could be the start of a mini rivalry, I'm enjoying it.

I want the Kings to be good again so everytime we talk media counting us out we can actually prove them wrong instead of just blowing warm air

Keep joking about it and watch vevik think it’s a good idea

I’m gonna will it into existence. If we’re not ever going to be “good” may as well be a circus.

 

[Section 101]

Let’s trade for the Warriors pick

If they don't smooth the cap (they shouldn't because precedence was set when it went up!) the warriors may need to use the pick and send a large salary out (Klay, Wiggins, Green) to keep from paying a crazy luxury tax. Not many teams will have the space to absorb it.

You mean three maxes and a Supermax isn’t exactly ideal for cap management?

Not when the cap may go down $30 million!
