I mean this year's draft 4-16 is a complete crapshoot anyways. Very likely we find someone better at 15th than the guy taken at the 4th.

Winning the lottery isn’t a given. Fk that let’s get this play in and win a damm series. Use those 3 1st rd picks and wheel and deal. If we don’t get in the play maybe the basketball gods will reward these men for doing it the right way. Fk we talking about . Let’s go

Definitely use at least two of the picks to draft so you have a group of core young guys to develop.

Yeah! Let's undo all of the work done in the last year by emptying the cupboard for overrated veterans!

The blueprint for a team like the Jazz (and the vast majority of champions that aren't the Lakers) building a dynasty is done from the ground up.

Teams that won a title over the last several years with significant help from their own top 5 pick:

'22 Warriors: Nope
'21 Bucks: Nope
'20 Lakers: No
'19 Raptors: Nah
'18 Warriors: No
'17 Warriors: No
'16 Cavs: Yes
'15 Warriors: No

I'll be damned

How’s it dumb. Proven year after year. How many teams last year wish they could change their lottery selection smh

There's no reason to be salty over a great game like this. Makes me wonder if some people even enjoy watching their team play basketball.

It’s true. They hate lose even if it meant to never win ultimate prize!!

Sure. Saying there's a legit chance to find a better player in the late lottery/late first compared to guys taken in the top ten is dumb. Like this type of things doesn't happen every ****ing year. Sure man. Sure. Whatever hell you wanna say.

Cleveland would have been terrible too if LeBron didn’t go back there.
