What a ****ty turn of events. The ONLY franchise changing players in this draft will be Parker, Wiggins, and Emblid. Last season was the best (and only) chance of tanking to get a franchise changing player to resurrect Jazz basketball. This next season is when we hire a real head coach, and play to win. Getting a #5 pick not only solidifies us as a mediocre treadmill team at best, but also reflects the complete failure of how to tank. ****

I'm so irate the Cavs yet again receive the first pick. I grew up 90 miles from Cleveland and it's a pile of crap city.

....Cleveland is such a sorry city with more pathetic sports teams than you can shake a stick at.....that even though they have scored the top draft choice in 3 of the last 4 years, they haven't made the playoffs in the pathetic Eastern Conference since Lebron left the team! Can you explain that?
 
1- all the Jazz talk of competing and trying and refusing to blatantly tank. Lol.
2- after hearing Rigby talk, it wouldn't shock me if the Jazz go after a get with the #5 pick.

This sucks. What a waste of the last two years.

The good news is, unless vets are brought in, starting Gordon, Vonleh, etc makes is worse than this year. Ha ha.

i feel bad for wiggins if he gets picked by the cavs. he will be a distant 4th option, and won't be able to be the man of this team. alot of chuckers they have.

No info, no rumor: I would just love 2 c Cleveland & Utah make a trade for #1. So many potential parts. Could dramatically help both teams.

On the plus side, critics of the lottery have a pretty strong case for the NBA to make immediate changes. Also, the Lakers didn't move up, so there's that. On the down side, as mismanaged as the Cavs have been since LeBron left, they continue to get strongly rewarded.

I personally think the lottery the way it does actually works against teams tanking because this is what can happen. Perhaps the league just needs to realize that some franchises suck and they need help so either put a limit on how many times a franchise can be in the Lottery or how many times they can get the number 1 pick. It is ridiculous that Cleveland gets the #1 pick three years in a row. I liked it the way it was before, the lottery is all about money and has very little to do with anything else.
