Draft Lottery Thread - 8:30 EST on ESPN

Stern really doing all he can to create a Cleveland vs Miami/LeBron rivalry for ratings.

Andy Katz just tweeted that Nerlens Noel is extremely dissapointed he won't be heading to Charlotte.

So was Anthony Davis.

The draft is so rigged, David Stern deserves any disaster that happens to him, I can't wait til he goes.

Why?  It won't be any different when his right hand man Silver takes over....

MJ is gonna Adam Silver his bitch (I hope).

I don't see the point in the whole lottery thing anyway... The worst team should end up with the first pick I think if a record is tied then you should go the route of the lottery 

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Didn't we have the highest odds of getting the fourth pick? It would have been awesome if we got the top pick, but this was always the most likely outcome.

[CatMan72]

LOL, we got shafted AGAIN. 

 

Cleveland has won the lottery 2 out of the last 3 years... really? I mean if your going to rig it at least make it seem somewhat legit. 

 

LeBron takes his talents to south beach and oh look, the Cavs go 2 for 3 in the draft lottery. 

 

The only thing that kept them from going 3 for 3 was the NBA giving the # 1 pick to New Orleans as a housewarming gift for the new ownership.

Or at least keep it between the top three or four teams. There's no reason that a borderline playoff team should have a shot at the top pick.

[CatMan72]

Here's my thing, if a team is willing to tank a whole season they deserve the # 1 pick.

True... I mean the Cavs have a pretty solid team and they are always near the top (Maybe their talent isn't as good as I think or their coaching isn't that good)

Freshly updated draftexpress.com mock has us taking Oladipo #4.

Noel, McLemore, Bennett go 1,2,3

[GotSwag?]

I knew we wouldn't get the first pick, but im happy with getting the 4th pick.  Perfect spot for Anthony Bennett.  Hes the guy I wanted all along and I think it would have been somewhat of a reach at 1 or 2.

Mock Draft 3.0 coming. Sneak peak at Top 5. 1. Cavs - Noel 2. Magic - Burke 3. Wizards - Porter 4. Bobcats - McLemore 5. Suns - Oladipo

Ford still has us landing mclemore keep hope alive!!!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I just don't see McLemore falling past Orlando... yes they need a point guard, but when you have a chance to land a super star at a position of need; well you take him.

 

I could potentially seeing us getting fugged with Noel, McLemore, and Bennett going one, two, and three.
