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

Lakers got #4. Grizzles got Top 2? What fuging world is this?

What's new. NBA is so stupid. Don't follow it any more. What's the point

[Shocker]

Hate the lottery...just fuggin hate it.   Wait till we are the worst team and get fugged out of it.  fug the NBA.

Friggin Pelicans, man. First AD, now this. 

Meanwhile, in Charlotte:

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.

This franchise is just doomed. Can’t lure any impactful FA, can’t draft worth a damn, overpay mediocre players, and refuse to tank to get a real shot at a game changer. 

[Eazy-E]

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

[Proudiddy]

Oh also...  Tall white guy from big 10 incoming.

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.

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.

The Hornets have been burnt so many times. Could have got Shaq but got Zo. Could of had Howard but got Okafor. Could have had AD but got Gilcrest. Could of had Kobe but got Divac. The pain is real
