That's actually interesting. When those agreements were made the odds we different. These transitions are always unfair. Like I wish we had these odds is last year

Why would NOLA do that?
Or they can trade AD to the Knicks for the No. 3 pick, Smith Jr., and a future first. Although probably the difference in value between the 3rd and 4th pick this year would be enough that they wouldn't have to toss in that future 1st.

They specifically hired Beilein to get the most out of players, not to be supported by #1, no brainer picks.
Correct. The "ZOMG cavz lodderie luck!!11!!" crowd, which generally is other teams' fans looking to make Cavs fans feel guilty, doesn't know what they are talking about.
Inasmuch as there was "lottery luck" in the early 2010s, I would say it merely made up for, you know, the bad sports luck for decades before that.
However, we should all be homer enough to be willing to both say that the recent drafts are not rigged, and also from the pre-E&Y era call out the Patrick Ewing bent envelope.

There are no fewer virtuous people in business than anywhere else.
Those who claim otherwise just have sour grapes about someone else earning more money than they do.

The two best players, IMO, are Zion and Morant, but they aren't surefire, can't miss prospects. There are legitimate concerns about how well Zion's game will translate. I personally think Morant would have been an interesting pairing with Sexton but bigger guards may have been posting them up all game.
Odds were the Cavs would be drafting somewhere between 3 - 6. It was always going to be a bit of crapshoot with that group of players. Who really knows if Culver will be better than Hunter, etc etc.
The Cavs could still end up with the best player in his draft, or a very good starter.
We still have TT don't we...

No one was talking about sexton Las year and he turned out to be a stud at #8. Let's see what we can do at #5.
