Ugh! I am going to be watching my daughter's dance recital during the lottery.

I think I'm gonna bail during the lottery. I just bought a new couch so the sleep won't be that bad.

I think our biggest needs right now are PG and wings. Taking either Sabonis or Poetl would leave me pretty ticked. I mean, Sabonis isn't even a good defender. Dude is like David Lee or Carlos Boozer out there.

If Luwawooooo isn't there at #12, I probably trade down and pick up a guy like McCaw or Bembry.
 
I just played the lottery simulator and got the Lakers at #1 five times in a row. I'm sorry guys.

Not every year can be the "psychic dream that we're going to draft Kanter" year.

Yea, what is that about? Mutumbo doesn't have access to the room does he?

Although the true lottery selection does happen before the TV show, the team reps and the lawyers and the NBA officials and the Accountants from Arthur Anderson are all sequestered and have to forfeit their phones before they go in.


If the sixers do win, I think it is a validation of Sam Hinkie's plan. Too bad for him he got run by the Collangelos just when his plan came together.
 
Mutumbo tweeted out a congratulations to the 76ers for winning the lottery. Then he quickly deleted his tweet.

It can't really be true because the tweet happened before the secret, sequestered, and media observed lottery.

SO THE JAZZ STILL HAVE A CHANCE!
 
So at #12 I like Luwawoooo, Valentine, or Baldwin. If they're gone, trade back. If you think you can trade back and still get them, do that.

Luwawoooo fits the 3 and D deal.

Valentine is essentially your 6th man/backup PG (at least on offense). Pair him up with a defensive PG who can hit open 3's (maybe Neto?). I like that for him.

Baldwin could be like George Hill. Not a great creator, or ball handler, or passer, but a really good shooter and defender. If you could get him and Valentine in the same draft, I think that's an awesome pairing.
 
Here's the last time each team had the #1 overall pick:

Philadelphia - 1996
LA Lakers - 1982
Boston - 1950
Phoenix - Never
Minnesota - 2015
New Orleans - 2012
Denver - Never
Sacramento - 1989
Toronto - 2006
Milwaukee - 2005
Orlando - 2004
Utah - Never
Phoenix - Never
Chicago - 2008

So basically the Jazz or the Suns deserve to win.
