May 19, 200818 yr That would suck but if we don't get a top 2 pick, I want Brook Lopez. He may not end up being a superstar but he should be a good player. He has great height and is a solid rebounder and shot blocker. Not to mention he is turning into a very good free throw shooter. I'd be fine with drafting him if we can't land Beasley or Rose.
May 20, 200818 yr If we dont get top 2, i am going to be VERY MAD!! hulk mad!!! we really need Rose!!!!!!!!!
May 20, 200818 yr Author Don't get your hopes up, people. Although the Heat do have the best chance to land a top 2 pick, mathematically their chances of NOT getting a top 2 pick are greater than their chances of getting one. I'm expecting them to get the 3 or the 4. That way if they do get one of the top 2 picks, I'll be stoked.
May 20, 200818 yr I'd go with O. J. Mayo. Yeah, I'm a pure sucker for all the hype and I'll let yal all in on a secret.... ...You can tell if a player is gonna be great or not if they have a great, unique name. No lie. Look at all the superstars in the NBA right now. Dwayne Wade/His name pretty much rolls off the tongue, Tracy McGrady/Awesome combination, Allen Iverson/Has a unique last name. The list goes on. They all have great and/or unique names. Thats why I think Brook Lopez will turn out to be a bust or nothing too special. Remember Andrew Bogut? Tell me his name didn't resonate that of a superstars in the NBA. It only happens in the NBA though. It might sound ludicrous and dumb, but it's the truth. At least for this generation. Anybody agree? :sweating lol

I believe "technially" its higher than the percentage because you can only go up something like 5 slots, so even though teams 6-14 are in the lottery, I dont believe they qualify for 1st overall. Im not certain on this though, I thiink it works something like you cant move down more than 3 and up more than 5.

Im not certain on this though, I thiink it works something like you cant move down more than 3 and up more than 5. Every team in the lottery has a shot at #1 overall. The breakdown looks like this: 250 combinations, 25% chance 199 combinations, 19.9% chance 156 combinations, 15.6% chance 119 combinations, 11.9% chance 88 combinations, 8.8% chance 63 combinations, 6.3% chance 43 combinations, 4.3% chance 28 combinations, 2.8% chance 17 combinations, 1.7% chance 11 combinations, 1.1% chance 8 combinations, 0.8% chance 7 combinations, 0.7% chance 6 combinations, 0.6% chance 5 combinations, 0.5% chance Also, the Heat have a 46.5% chance at a top 2 pick. That still means they have a 53.5% chance of NOT getting a top 2 pick. Follow me? The Heat are, however, mathematically guaranteed a top 4 pick.

The Nuggets are discussing trading Carmelo Anthony. Maybe with our pick we could reel someone big in.

May 20, 200818 yr i truly believe we will get the number one pick, not because im a math wiz or i have a gut feeling the lottery balls will fall our way...the NBA is above only the NFL in terms of corruptness within the league...and because dwayne wade is a cash cow...they will want that cash cow to have a number 1 pick playing beside him and get that cash cow back to the playoffs as soon as humanly possible
May 20, 200818 yr Gnatsol... why'd you quote yourself and write nothing else??? LOL! I didn't even notice. That second reply was a mistake. ^_^

It'll be ewing all over again

It'll be ewing all over again but they dont have any cash cows on that roster and are at least 3 years away from competing for anything
May 21, 200818 yr So who do the Bulls pick? They have Hinrich at the point and Gooden/TyrusThomas at PF. Should be interesting.
May 21, 200818 yr The Heat are better off with the #2 pick, no pressure. I agree, they can't be 2nd guessed now. They are in a perfect spot. Either way, they'll get a tremendous player. As for the Bulls, people have said for years that they need a post scorer, so Beasley would fill that role, but Rose is the Chicago native. They have a tough decision.
