Even when chaos happens in the Draft Lottery, we still get screwed with the 12th pick.

Yup, was hoping for a Baron Davis- type jump into the top 3.  Still hoping the NBA pays us back for being good soldiers when they bent us over and gave the Pels AD and left us with #2, but nope...

But notice, LA and NY end up in the top 4, and NO has the assets to restock with or without AD.  With AD and/or KD rumored to LA and NY, all the major players are taken care of and the NBA fixes its biggest markets.  

I'm thinking Zion pulls a Kobe and refuses to play in NO, and LA trades Ball, Kuzma, Hart, and Ingram + #4 for #1 (Zion) and AD.

The lottery literally makes me want to have nothing to do with the NBA.  This poo is fixed.

And some of you still think tanking is worth it lol.

As compared to what other option? Never going to be good enough to win anything without elite talent. Not one top tier FA will sign here. Our draft history days we cannot find the gems that others seem to nail.

In what world do the Pelicans make that trade? Lol

Do better at drafting and developing who ever you draft.

Honestly, we still just have to hit on our pick wherever it is.  Tanking doesn't guarantee anything...  philly drafted MCW, Okafor, Fultz, and despite what people think, bum ass Simmons.  All those top picks and they hit on one in Embiid.

Until we hit on a pick, we're stuck period.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
