Zion at the draft lottery tonight. Poor kid turned down all of that money from other schools to play for free at Dook.

Lakers have moved into the top 4 and of course the Knicks are still in it. Anyone surprised?

Cavs fell to 5 despite their 14% odds. The Lakers began with odds of only 2%.

All that sucking ass really paid off, huh Cleveland?

1. Pelicans (6%)
2. Grizzlies (6%)
3. Knicks (14%)
4. Lakers (2%)

Someone has some 'splainin' to do.

NY not getting Zion makes my day.

Same with LA.

I guess at least they didn’t rig it for the Lakers to land #1

Cavs can take Garland, push Sexton to the 2 - not a bad deal, lot of value with Garland, assuming he makes it to 5.

Magic quit so no leverage.

Even the 14% Knicks didn't get it. Didn't see Silver there, so Ewing couldn't wring his neck.

They haven't lost Davis yet. Besides, does anyone really think the NBA would rig things for New Orleans over the Lakers and Knicks?

Lol yea this has to be one of the least rigged lotteries ever with the Pelicans and Grizzlies Landing the top 2. Two franchises about nobody really cares about.

Another way to look at that is the Pelicans will fold without a star. But yeah, whatever, it doesn’t matter if it was rigged or not. The fact he didn’t go to NY actually says a lot about the state of the league, particularly in NYC

Is unibrow 100% out the door or does adding the top pick make that team attractive enough to consider staying? I barely follow the NBA so i dont know if this is a dumb question.

Not a dumb question, he could rescind his trade demand after the pick. At the very least, the team holds a hell of a lot more cards now.

I'd just make the 5 worst teams pick in reverse order. Wanna completely tank? Enjoy picking 5th.

No lottery of any kind. I'd do the same thing with other leagues. Fans pay too much for teams to not even try to compete.
