Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
quick question to all you wolves fans:
if you do get a top two pick, trading garnett will no longer be an option, correct??? thanks...i figure a garnett/oden or garnett/durant frontcourt would make garnett real happy...
good luck by the way...but not really, as i want the clippers to land a top 2...

Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
I've been envisioning it all morning. We know that we get a top 7 pick (right?), so they say 7 and it's not us. They say 6 and it's not us. I'm sitting in my apartment going nuts. They say 5 and it's not us. And with the 4th pick.... the Minnesota Timberwolves! We take Al Horford and he turns out a bust. Trust me, it's happening.

we can only get
1 (5.3%), 2(6%), 3(7%), 7(57.2%), 8(22.6%), 9(18%)
oh and bootstrenf, i dont think KG is going anywhere regardless but if we land a top 2 pick i think that its guarenteed that he would stay, either way its a great player at one of our weakest positions (SF or C) and 2 of our biggest needs (shooting or rebounding and defense)

It's pretty low for us to get a top 2 picks. It is basically a zero chance, IMO. .053 and .06.
KG is gonna stay around here for another year. It's time for us to draft a small forward or a center.

11% chance at a top 2 pick is worth crossing fingers for at least lol.
more than likely we stay at 7 yes, and we take hibbert, green or brewer.

Haha!!! Wow... I can see this happening. I just want to have the 2nd pick. So if the first pick is a bust, we would be alright and not looked down upon. I mean lets say we get the first pick, pick Oden and he becomes an absolute bust and Durant is the next jordan.... It would def. look awful lol. But Chances are we land the 9th pick and are stuck with Yi Jailian and he decides he never wants to come over and play in the US like Fran Vasquez lol.

id preffer the second pick because it means we get durant, no GM is gonna take him first i dont think, but i believe he would help out Garnett and the wolves a lot more in the next couple of seasons.
oh and we SOOOO better not draft YI lol

Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
Yeah and if Durant was picked, our line would potentially look like this....
PG-Foye
SG-Davis
SF-Durant
PF-Garnett
C-Blount
Plus we haven't made many changes yet, but the bench could potentially be explosive also...Young, but explosive.

exactly, and look at the scoring in that line up... any player from that 5 could be the go to guy each different time down the court.
If we get durant i think we need to move Jaric/James for a big bangin center, get a vet back up point and some defensive help on the wings and we'd be set.... however if we land outside of the top 2 we are going to have to make overhaul type changes... a lot is riding on this draft.

Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
Also I wouldn't be dissapointed with the 7th pick at all. THere are a lot of options. The pick I would absolutly hate to land in the 5th. If we got 3 or 4 I would take Wright or Hibbert. I would hate to take Horford that early. At 5 or 6, I think I would much rather trade down a couple picks and get a veteran point guard with it.
At 7 or 8 th | |
