2019 NBA Draft Lottery

[NorthCoastBias]

If I'm NOLA I trade the No.1 pick to NYC or MEM then trade AD to LA for the 4th pick, Kuzma, Ingram and a future 1st.

What in the fuck?

Why?

I'm not a business man. I wasn't around that table when discussing draft placements. I just know doo doo when I see it. I know lies when I hear them. Theres nothing genuine and sincere about this business.

But i'll let you believe everything is what they tell you and its all as it is portrayed.

Ernst & Young and their entire reputation is not going to be flushed down the toilet in a futile attempt to fix 14 ping pong balls in a room with executives of every team in the lottery present.

Pels and Cavs have won five of the past eight lotteries. If you think that's a predetermined result at NBA HQ in NYC then you're just confused.

NBA ratings are down. Zion is the next big thing. They dont want him in the West which is already loaded because games there are Late for eastern TV. They would love to have him in NYC because it puts more TV money in everyone's pocket, but an honest lottery drawing prevents that result from being fixed.

Believing in conspiracy theories is comforting when things dont go your way.

I dont want someone with a foot injury just to tank next year. 5th playerbin the draft. Take a quality player. We did pretty good at 8 last year

He will eventually get better then you will have 2 lottery picks instead of one. This is a 3-5 year process.

Lakers having the number 4 pick only makes their pupu platter offer for AD even more poopoo. It’s hilarious.

Culver at 5, Okpala at 26.

Do you think the league cares if the Cavs or Pels win the lottery? Besides that, I think the Cavs won the lottery those years lebron was in Miami because Dan worked something out with them to drop the collusion case.

Anyway, they know these high draft picks that turn out to be stars wont bother to remain in these small markets. Let them play their worst years here while they work on their game, then when their contract is up, they leave or demand a trade to a bigger market as if their agents dont work for / with the league.

They don't come cut from the Tim Duncan and Dirk cloth these days.. especially if they were born and raised in the United States of America.

That's Tier 2 for sure.

This lottery will hang over our heads next year with only top 10 protection for next year's pick. I think teams will now force top 14 protection instead of top 10.

We won't have the comfort to play into #7-#9 odds.

Maybe Lakers can trade Lebron to Pelicans for the #1 pick and ZW. I'm sure Lebron isn't happy that his boy Magic left him. Wouldn't that be something!!!!

The funny thing is #4 doesn't do much for the Lakers but it now puts more pressure on them by LeBron and his people. If they can't swing another star now, I think he will hit his breaking point and ask for a trade. July might be real interesting time for LeBron and the Lakers.

Ernst and young can be tricked. They aren't super human. Slight of hand is serious. I know a magician and he cheats at casinos on the reg. I said it was bullshit, but dude always had cash and would never stick around long, never taking too much.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

The NBA is a business before it's a sport and entertainment. And in a multi-billion dollar business, honesty and integrity isn't in the mix. Big money is involved.. no time for virtues such as honesty and integrity. Big money draws slimy business men.

Number of actual men in big business you likely know personally...

Are you saying the world of business is a world of virtue?
