NFT: NBA Draft Lottery: The Rights to Wemby

Everyone Relax : 5/16/2023 7:00 pm
Do we have a frozen envelope type situation (Dallas or Chicago)? Does San Antonio begin its next dynasty? Which of these losers will win the rights to the biggest prospect since Lebron?!

I've seen YouTube clips of the dude & read the comps. Barring injuries, he'll be great.

Being selfish, I hope he ends up a Hornet so I can catch a few games next season with him.

I would love to see the pick Dallas would have had if they hadn’t ranked make the top 4 and slide Dallas to where pick conveys to Knicks

I'm half expecting Dallas-with a 3% chance-to win the lotto.

Also, I can't believe it's been 20 years since the LBJ lotto when the Grizz almost won the right to LeBron. When it was announced Memphis had the second overall pick-which was conveyed to Detroit who infamously took Darko-Jerry West looked like Jackie on AF1 on 11/22/63. The Logo was completely despondent with a blank expression on his face.
I hope it's Detroit or Orlando  
larryflower37 : 5/16/2023 7:59 pm : link
Both will have fun young line-ups to watch.
Cade, Ivey, Wiseman, Duran, Hayes and Wemby in Detroit

Banchero, Suggs, Anthony, Bol and Wemby in Orlando
Oh and Dallas gets the 11th pick  
larryflower37 : 5/16/2023 8:00 pm : link
....

Houston/OKC/Portland/Charlotte top four.  
bceagle05 : 5/16/2023 8:21 pm : link
Detroit got bumped to five.
Mavs got the 10th pick. This means the NYK will have to wait until  
Optimus-NY : 5/16/2023 8:22 pm : link
next year for the Mavs' 1st round pick to convey to them, provided it's not in the Top 10 again.
Should correct myself….  
bceagle05 : 5/16/2023 8:22 pm : link
that’s not the order of the top four - commercial break first.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/16/2023 8:22 pm : link
Mavs keep their pick. Bastards.
Watch the Spurs  
Chris L. : 5/16/2023 8:23 pm : link
luck out again
There is no justice

time the Knicks had lottery luck??? Ewing????
Ehh just adds another pick to the chest for next year  
nygiants16 : 5/16/2023 8:24 pm : link
If Portland gets it, do you pair Lillard eith him, or do you trade him for a treasure chest and build around Simons Sharpe and Wembayama
...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/16/2023 8:24 pm : link
If not Charlotte, I'm rooting for the Blazers. Bowie over MJ, Oden over Durant...that franchise deserves a break. And great city & fan base.
David Robinson/Tim Duncan/Wemby.  
bceagle05 : 5/16/2023 8:26 pm : link
Must be nice.
SHOCKED  
nygiants16 : 5/16/2023 8:27 pm : link
lol not surprising at all
The poor Spurs  
Everyone Relax : 5/16/2023 8:27 pm : link
Have had to suffer for 3 whole years
Pop will coach til he’s 100.

.
Of course its the Spurs  
Chris L. : 5/16/2023 8:28 pm : link
what made anyone think it wouldn't be. Wow... what they have one losing season and then they luck into another Duncan? Wow....just wow.
Glad he’s out West at least.

Color me surprised. NBA is fixed.
At least Wemby is going west.  
larryflower37 : 5/16/2023 8:29 pm : link
Kick the Dallas pick down the road for trade capital.
Maybe Portland trades Dame and goes youth movement.
LOL.

The Admiral. The Big Fundamental. And now The Frenchman.

Haha. Gotta laugh.
I know the Knicks have a good pick situation  
Sean : 5/16/2023 8:30 pm : link
But, not one pick in the 2023 draft? Doesn’t seem that great to me.

Gotta feel for the Pistons. Spurs have great timing with these draft lotteries.
Detroit put Cade on ice all year  
bceagle05 : 5/16/2023 8:32 pm : link
for the fifth pick. Now they’re screwed.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/16/2023 8:33 pm : link
All kidding aside, congrats to the Spurs. I like Pop.
Draft is fixed

I've always thought that. Just like their officiating.
There will be some good wings at 11  
larryflower37 : 5/16/2023 8:36 pm : link
That the Knicks missed out on but it's not all bad, they don't have a lot of room for another rookie and if they are going to make a push for a star another 2024 pick is not all that bad.
If Scoot doesnt go 2  
nygiants16 : 5/16/2023 8:38 pm : link
Which i dont see why Charlotte would go with another PG, He may fall..Portland doesnt need a PG they got Simons and Sharpe, Rockets have Porter Jr and are looking to add Vets like a Harden, Detroit has Cade and Ivey...

Someone may pay a ransom to trade up and get him

If the lotto was rigged, Chicago-the third biggest media market in the nation & starving for a star-would have won.

Exactly. The Spurs never rated well.

@FredKatz

Just emerged from the drawing room of the lottery, where San Antonio didn’t just win the first pick. Spurs got drawn TWO more times in the lottery, so they had to redo multiple picks. Destiny was on their side tonight.

Simons played the 2 last year next to Dame.
Maybe it is the right time to trade Dame and put scoot at PG next to simons

You seriously think it's rigged for...San Antonio? Good grief.
Typical NBA  
ghost718 : 5/16/2023 9:02 pm : link
Since Ewing,they always replace the Knicks ping pong ball with a Titleist
Out of the top 5 teams  
larryflower37 : 5/16/2023 9:05 pm : link
San Antonio is the last place the NBA wanted Wemby.
At least Dallas didn't get a top 3 pick. I was fully expecting it to  
Jim in Hoboken : 5/16/2023 9:16 pm : link
happen.
Here is hoping the Blazers fall in love with the Thompson twins  
Jim in Hoboken : 5/16/2023 9:18 pm : link
and trade Sharpe + Grant for Randle.

Not gonna happen but I can dream.

Just the opposite. They're trying to get the small markets involved. Chicago, L.A., and NYC don't matter to these geniuses.
portland is going to be interesting - i think they trade the pick  
Eric on Li : 5/16/2023 9:35 pm : link
and go for it with lillard. toronto getting rid of nurse would think they could get either og or Siakam for a package including that pick.

This makes zero sense. If anything this is evidence the lottery is NOT rigged. If they were going to rig a lotto, it would not be a get a star player to the 30th media market. There is no great money to be made by stars in small towns. Come on people…
Can Scoot play next to Ball?  
larryflower37 : 5/16/2023 9:55 pm : link
Or do they draft Brandon Miller?
Portland is the wildcard and if they do keep the pick is the signal a rebuild? Do they let Grant walk too?

probably but it would be pretty ballsy to trade lillard and go full rebuild if they a chance to keep him in the fold.

if they move lillard i dont think they are going to get a big package. is brandon miller worth giving up a few more interesting seasons with lillard?

With Simons and Sharpe, and then add Miller you got 3 legit building blocks, plus the assets you get for Lillard
