Posted May 22, 200717 yr So the Grizzlies have the best chance at 25%, followed by the Celtics, Bucks, Suns(it's Atlanta's pick if it goes top 3), Sonics, Blazers, TWolves, Bobcats, Bulls, Kings, Hawks, Sixers, Hornets, Clippers anyone see TSN this week? The cover has Tim Duncan in a Celtics uni and how that year's lottery set them back 10 years (ended up with the 3rd and 6th, taking Billups and Mercer)
May 22, 200717 yr I just want the opportunity for the Bulls to get Hawes (!!!) or Hibbert. ...and for the Bobcats to draft someone like Noah. :mischief
May 22, 200717 yr Out of all of those teams, I'm rooting for Phoenix to get something packaged and trade up for either Oden or Durant.
May 22, 200717 yr Out of all of those teams, I'm rooting for Phoenix to get something packaged and trade up for either Oden or Durant. No one will be trading out of the top two.
May 22, 200717 yr Someone should put Bill Simmons on pre-emptive suicide watch. If the Celts don't get the 1st or second, he may blow his brains out. If the Suns or Bulls get a top two pick, then Billy Knight and Isiah Thomas should be shot in the head.

If the Suns or Bulls get a top two pick, then Billy Knight and Isiah Thomas should be shot in the head. the only way the suns can pick top 3 is with a trade - they own the rights to the Atl pick from the Joe Johnson trade - however, it is top 3 protected
May 22, 200717 yr Not that they're in the lottery or anything, but I'm hoping the Heat can find a way to get Acie Law.
May 22, 200717 yr I hoping the Grizzlies or the Celtics ... actually Im just hoping for a better fate and future for Pau Gasol
May 22, 200717 yr Not that they're in the lottery or anything, but I'm hoping the Heat can find a way to get Acie Law. Good luck with that.
May 22, 200717 yr Don't watch. Problem solved! :thumbup Im not part of the ESPN Sucks crew, just pointing out the ridiculousness of previewing a freaking draft lottery
May 22, 200717 yr Does the NBA Draft Lottery really require a 90 minute preview by ESPN? :banghead Considering that this is the most important moment of the entire season for 6-7 teams, I'd say 90 minutes might too short for the fans.
May 22, 200717 yr Don't watch. Problem solved! :thumbup Im not part of the ESPN Sucks crew, just pointing out the ridiculousness of previewing a freaking draft lottery I agree. Who is even discussing/'analyzing' it? I dislike most of ESPN's basketball personalities (pro and college) so I'll be steering clear. I'll watch the actual unveiling though.
May 22, 200717 yr Not that they're in the lottery or anything, but I'm hoping the Heat can find a way to get Acie Law. Good luck with that. I've seen him slotted like 15 or 16 in most mocks. Actually, nbadraft.net has him at #17 right now...and the Heat pick at #20. So, is it really that unrealistic? I read a rumor somewhere that the Heat were interested...they really need a PG, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were to give up like a 1st rounder in 2010 or something to move up 4 or 5 spots. If they want him, they can get him without too much trouble. nbadraft.net has the Heat taking Josh McRoberts. I don't know how I'd feel about that.

Haha...it might be worth it just to see your reaction.
May 22, 200717 yr I think Acie will go top 10-12 personally after he works out for teams. McBob's stock will more than likely improve when he works out for teams as well. I'd love to see him go to the Suns as he'd fit perfectly but I also don't want him to 'fall' that low. McBobs just needs a big man he is going to be able to play off of and be able to run the court and he will be fine, but I don't think Miami is a good spot for him. I think Houston would be a good fit though as would a lot of other western teams.

God I hate NBA ball on that network so freakin much.
