2012 NBA Draft Lottery

[Spurtacus]

Charlotte has a 25% chance to win the lottery. Will they? If not, who wins?

[ElNono]

LOL J:lolrdan

[baseline bum]

I hope they get the #2 pick and blow it on that nigga Drummond.

[PÒÓCH]

I hope the Cavs get it, they deserve it after the LeBron fiasco.

[baseline bum]

I hope the Cavs get it, they deserve it after the LeBron fiasco.

Unibrow/Irving would be a pretty awesome starting point for them.

[100%duncan]

I hope the Cavs or Hornets gets it, simply because both teams can do great if they get either Davis or Drummond.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I'm rooting for the Hornets, tbh.
Also would like it if NJ got a top 3 pick, so that their deadline day trade doesn't look that bad.

[lefty]

"And the 1st of the 2012 NBA draft goes to....


.... the South Park Hornets "

http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/shared/characters/kids/timmy.jpg

[Mal]

I root for Cavs or Wizz

[Goran Dragic]

lol Thomas Robinson suddenly becoming a top 5 prospect
lol 6'8" power forwards

[Pelicans78]

lol Thomas Robinson suddenly becoming a top 5 prospect
lol 6'8" power forwards

I totally agree. I'm sick of Hornets fans thinking this guy will be an elite PF. He's no different than Paul Millsap. High energy guy, shoots jumpers, too small to post up and won't be able to defend in the post. Its a joke how he's a top 5 prospect. Honestly, if Sullinger can stay healthy, he will have a better career than Robinson.

[Pelicans78]

In my heart of hearts, I want 2 out of the 3. Davis, Drummond, Sullinger.

[hater]

:lol thiking the Cavs, Bobcats or even Wiz getting top picks will result in anything other than failures.

[Darth_Pelican]

I'd like Kidd-Gilchrist. He's only 18 and very athletic. By the time he's 21, he could be a 20ppg player.

[Rummpd]

Have a "VIP" invite to Wizards draft party at their arena - based on this years draft is it worth going?

[baseline bum]

Yeah, I'd easily take Kidd-Gilchrist #2. He looks like he's Iguodala in the worst case, but seems to have the work ethic to be a lot better.

[flipspursfan]

Unibrow/Irving would be a pretty awesome starting point for them.

Tristan Thompson, Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. Holy shit give that team around 5 years and they'll be back to the 2nd-3rd seed in the East

[Dr Cox]

I am rooting for the Cavs....Davis and Irving would be fun to watch.

[Durant 35]

Totally forgot this was tonight....

[Spurs da champs]

Davis is gonna be awfull, Kid Gilchrist is gonna be really good.

[Mugen]

Gilchrist is gonna be the Durant to Anthony DavisCamby's Oden, tbh.

I'm not looking forward to seeing Dan Gilbert's creepy kid again tho.

[Ashy Larry]

Charlotte Bobcats .......

[JoeTait75]

Tristan Thompson is Stromile Swift V 2.0, tbh.

It would be incredibly hilarious if they ended up with the 14th pick :lol

[Spurs9]

Davis isn't that good tbh

[CavsSuperFan]

Has to be the Cavs…Why else would they trade Sessions for Luke Walton…

[Kai]

Can't wait for the rockets to get the 14th pick for the third year in a row.

[Girasuck]

High energy guy, shoots jumpers, too small to post up and won't be able to defend in the post. Its a joke how he's a top 5 prospect. Honestly, if Sullinger can stay healthy, he will have a better career than Robinson.

Paul Millsap is too small to post up and can't defend the post?

[Pelicans78]

Paul Millsap is too small to post up and can't defend the post?

Didn't mean Millsap. That was more at Robinson who will have to rely on facing up defenders and either settling for a jumpshot or driving to the basket.

[djohn2oo8]

What if Portland somehow ended up with the #1 pick? :lol

[Richie]

I want Portland, Cavs or Hornets to get #1. Would love it if Hornets got the #1 with Minnesotas pick, so ends up with 1st and 5th pick. Davis, MKG/Barnes and Eric Gordon going forwards, one year and one more lotto pick and they can be a contender in a few years

[Richie]

Can't wait for the rockets to get the 14th pick for the third year in a row.

Do you think Rockets will trade away one of their mid round picks?

[djohn2oo8]

Do you think Rockets will trade away one of their mid round picks?
Probably. Lowry + pick to Toronto for 8th pick.

[Richie]

Probably. Lowry + pick to Toronto for 8th pick.

If you're trading away Lowry, why not package him in a deal for Gasol?

[baseline bum]

I'm rooting for Cavs/Hornets to be #1-2 in either order. Man I wish Stern would just take the lottery back to being even chances for all like he did in the 80s in response to Houston's back-to-back tank jobs for Sampson and Olajuwon.

[pass1st]

I want Portland, Cavs or Hornets to get #1. Would love it if Hornets got the #1 with Minnesotas pick, so ends up with 1st and 5th pick. Davis, MKG/Barnes and Eric Gordon going forwards, one year and one more lotto pick and they can be a contender in a few years

Why do you want Davis' knee to blow up?

[baseline bum]

Fuck Portland, if Drummond doesn't end up a Bobcat I'd like to see his unmotivated ass there so it doesn't ruin the career of someone who gives a shit.

[BRHornet45]

Go Spirit Go!

[baseline bum]

Go Spirit Go!

I thought y'all were the motherfucking Angels? Nice bitch in the sig pick.

[LiamNeeson'shero]

I want NO to get #1 pick

[djohn2oo8]

If you're trading away Lowry, why not package him in a deal for Gasol?
Idk, all I know is they're trying to move up once again, and Toronto really wants Lowry. Plus Gasol has like 3 or 4 good years left, we need to set up some sort of long term solution. Right now, they're hoping the Nets don't get a top pick so Dwight to NJ won't even be an option.

[BRHornet45]

I thought y'all were the motherfucking Angels? Nice bitch in the sig pick.

son its going to be either the Angels or Spirit and since Angels is already taken by a MLB team I would prefer Spirit.

lolz Spirit ... gonna take some time to grow on us. they better do a badass job in marketing and uniforms.

That seems like a weak deal unless there's a guy you really like at #8 -- trade away a starting quality point guard and a late lottery pick for a mid-lottery pick. If I'm Toronto, I take that deal in 2.4 seconds.

:lol

I'm hoping they get the number 1 pick and get Davis. But with MJ you never know.

[Girasuck]

How funny would it be if the Warriors pick falls to 8? After all the shit they did during the season to tank games...to lose the pick anyway...please make it happen.

[rayjayjohnson]

I expect draft night trade, gasol for #1, approved by stern

[lefty]

Davis is gonna be Camby 2.0 in the NBA

[Latarian Milton]

there ain't much difference between the top3, or maybe even top 10 picks imho. it ain't like the past 4-5 years where you got only 1 or 2 guys outstanding and most of the rest being average talents tbh. the pool is pretty stacked this year and even a top10 pick would possibly bring u a future worldclass player, the most stacked NBA draft since 03 imho

[blkroadrunners]

1. Hornets
2. Bobcats
3. Kings

[baseline bum]

How funny would it be if the Warriors pick falls to 8? After all the shit they did during the season to tank games...to lose the pick anyway...please make it happen.

CROFL... especially considering that game they won over Minnesota with 4 games left in the season. If they blow that one their chances of getting the #7 pick were pretty good.

[ducks]

bobcats
nets
bobcats

[Spursfan092120]

What if Portland somehow ended up with the #1 pick? :lol

Davis would run and hide...

:lol Dan Gilbert getting too greedy with exploiting his son's disease..

[Killakobe81]

Out of those left ... I guess you root for?

Blazers with two lottery picks that is at least 2 more exploding knees in the next 3-5 years, tops.

[lurker]

sons congrats to new orleans spirit fingers fans everywhere.

[Spurtacus]

13% chance = rigged

lmao NBA

[Twisted_Dawg]

I think we should all take time to congratulate BRHornets and his Hornets.

[baseline bum]

Mission Accomplished! for the Spirit's tank!

[Killakobe81]

Just imagine; they could have had Odom's fat ass!

Not even tripping on that. Just saying I figured the pick was not all that ... still better than Odom. But as I said Spirit shoul of gotten more. They would of still had Davis (that wa stheir pick) and should of at LEAST taken Bledsoe AND Gordon. I stand by that.

As for Hornets, congrats. Enjoy that kid for 5 years :toast At least you got the one blue-chipper in this draft.
But come on, who didnt think that stern would have this shit work out? And Im not even a conspiracy theorist. This shit smells funny. Sale is not even final ...

[Budkin]

Sons congrats to the Hornets

[Nathan89]

Rigged

Quite possibly, tbh.

Last year the Cavs got #1 after shipping James

This year the NBA Hornets get #1 after Paul left.

[blkroadrunners]

:cry Great, Davis vs Bonner/Blair 4 times next season :cry

[lurker]

I really hope they have tweezers in new orleans.

[Spurs9]

Hornets with #1 pick for basketball reasons

The NBA delivered what they promised Tom Benson when he upped his offer for the Hornets. :lol

No jokes here, what is up with that Gilbert kid?

The little mofo got some serious testosterone coursing through his young body, that for sure!

Yea, he'll get fined.

If Stern had allowed the Paul trade to go through, there would have been even more backlash from the rest of the team's in the NBA:lol..

Stern is by far the best commish in sports..

Alright, time to turn ESPN off. Interesting shit is over and no one wants to watch Boston get euthanized.

Stern is much much much worse than Bettman

Venti the SC Finals started 10 minutes ago, you arent watching you fake Kings fan?

[LnGrrrR]

Look I could care less about teh lotto we werent in it anyway it's mostly scrub teams adding non superstars, tbh. But ...

Cleveland gets hometown hero Lebron
Chicago gets their hometown hero Rose
L.A. Market gets Blake Griffin
Cavs lose Lebron get Kyrie
Hornets for sale gets Davis

dont think it's WWE, but man ...:lol

[Killakobe81]

Why not just show the balls and have a freaking machine spit it out like almost every other lottery? Again I dont truly believe it's rigged, but you could eliminate the doubters by just making the shit transparent ... Stern :lmao

[Pelicans78]

Its really karma for the Hornets coming through. They played hard all season despite the massive amount of injuries on their team. They really weren't tanking. They were just a bad team that also suffered so many injuries and still lost a lot of close games throughout the season.

[DPG21920]

a true powerball-type lotto would be cool and more exciting than watching a scrawny guy opening envelopes. that makes as much sense as hiring an independent officiating crew. but Stern will never give up control.

[Killakobe81]

NO gets the #1 AND #10 from Minny....not bad trading Stern.

Not bad, could of had both picks Gordon and Bledsoe.

[Pelicans78]

Agree for sure. Happy to see them get it, although it helps someone in the spurs division.

The Spurs survived Yao/T-Mac, Dirk, and the Gasol brothers. I'm sure they will manage fine :lol

[BRHornet45]

LOL sons how many times have I said that the NBA is carefully controlled, partially scripted, sports entertainment? Bill Simmons must be reading SpursTalk

Regardless the Spirit deserved the #1 pick since we got stuck with that injury prone overrated vagina Eric Gordon. OUR TIME IS NOW!!! SPIRIT TIME!@!!

[DPG21920]

Bledsoe sucks IMO.

[Pelicans78]

Not bad, could of had both picks Gordon and Bledsoe.

They have a chance to draft a better PG.

Clippers weren't gonna let Bledsoe go unless Paul signed an extension.

[Killakobe81]

Have the machine, the ball spitting numbers and interview the top 3 potential stars ...

Jarret Jack to Davis will be awesome to watch + Gordon? that could mean a 7th seed next seed TBH

[Killakobe81]

Clippers weren't gonna let Bledsoe go unless Paul signed an extension.

So you say. Read an article on the Clips GM said that he was bluffing acting as though he was ok running Chauncey at PG, but stern's dumbass never called his bluff. You think Clips were turning down a Paul trade over an injured Bledsoe? Bledsoe is not even a PG, he is a bavckup combo guard but better than Aminu ...

[Pelicans78]

So you say. Read an article on the Clips GM said that he was bluffing acting as though he was ok running Chauncey at PG, but stern's dumbass never called his bluff.

Maybe, but if they weren't bluffing, then they may have been stuck with Paul too long and won more games which would have cost them winning the lottery.

[TDMVPDPOY]

htf did the blazers get the nets 6th pick? was this from previous trade?

Bledsoe isn't even that good so who cares if he wasn't included?

[Killakobe81]

Maybe, but if they weren't bluffing, then they may have been stuck with Paul too long and won more games which would have cost them winning the lottery.

No need for this continue the deal is done. Im just saying I HATE Aminu ... Bledsoe is no superstar, but would be a much better asset is all I am saying.

[HI-FI]

Plus who gives a shit about interviewing Prokorov's stank box? :lol
Have the machine, the ball spitting numbers and interview the top 3 potential stars ...

all those questions were stupid. I thought the Russian chick was sharing state secrets with Prokorov, or maybe she was just saying her pussy was wet. either way, it's really stupid.

steve nash once said they should make the lottery teams have their own tournament, and whoever wins it gets the top pick. he was basing it on some soccer league. that would work as well as a real lottery, not this Stern reacharound.

:lmao just admit you were wrong. Calling Stern stupid after pulling off a very good trade while saving the franchise from a crippling trade which led to the num 1 & 10 pick all because of a guy you just said was an injured backup combo guard????:lol

[Pelicans78]

I'm really happy not just because of Davis, but I didn't want to see the team draft MKG, Barnes, Robinson, or Drummond with a top 5 pick. They're all fine players, but not really superstar talent. Davis is no guarantee either, but he's a much higher prospect than the ones mentioned.

This is spot on. As untalented and banged up as the team was, I still didn't mind sitting through the games because they played hard every night and never intentionally tanked. For that reason, they deserved the #1 pick.

I completely agree with this. If you look at the top 7 lottery teams, the Hornets were the only team that played hard till the end.

Shit was rigged, but NO deserved the #1 pick based on actually playing the entire season.

I'm happy for the hornets. Hope Davis won't be a bust though, this could very well be a start of a good decade in bball in NO.

[Spurs9]

This

Like 73% of the Hornets losses were by single digits. They never quit (other than Gordon)

Real talk I'm happy for you hornets fans with Stern coming thru. Davis needs to shave that unibrow tho, he looks like a alien

Not to be overlooked IMO is that he actually won in college

:lmao just admit you were wrong. Calling Stern stupid after pulling off a very good trade while saving the franchise from a crippling trade which led to the num 1 & 10 pick all because of a guy you just said was an injured backup combo guard????:lol

I am not wrong. What was I wrong about? Aminu is better than Bledsoe. Argue the other side ... Waiting. :corn:

[DPG21920]

:lmao that's not your argument. If it is, it's terrible. If your beef with "stupid Stern" is Aminu v Injured limited combo guard (your words), what's your argument?

[Killakobe81]

LOL, DPG missing the point. I get he did help keep costs down but now of course it appears he jew-rigged this draft, to plenty of media and NBA fans. So I agree nice job and congrats, to the Hornets, Spirit. I again just stress I HATE Aminu. You saw Bledsoe play against the Spurs ... he is a BETTER player and the Hornets reportedly wanted him. Great move turning down Lakers/Hornets deal ... but why do you take a sorry asset like Aminu when Bledsoe could of been had and would of helped with the tank job since he was injured?

I cant be wrong here, it's my opinion. I know your condescending ass wants a victory but Tonight I am NOT your huckleberry. IF Aminu ends up better than Bledsoe someday I will come on here and bow down to you ...if not my point still stands.

That makes no sense to me dude. Honestly. Who cares about either of those guys. Steve Blake is better than Blake Ahearn but in the end it's trivial.

Point is you dogged the trade, call Stern dumb only to boil it down to Aminu and Injured Limited Combo Guard?

[Killakobe81]

Read the thread dumbass. I said stupid Stern, because he has wilbon and simmons two of the most prominent NBA scribes bringin up conspiracy on a prominent night for his league.

You are right, Stern made a great business decision, no doubt. But his reputation took a hit whether you want to get off your fucking high horse and admit it or not.

I know it's your weak ass style lately to just say that doesnt make sense, or to call people names, but if you took the time to ask questions or read ... an intelligent guy like yourself should of figured some shit out. The bledsoe vs. Aminu is my personl opinion because I hate Aminu and his game. Admitted this on here plenty of times.

Stern hurt his rep with the lockout, the fiasco afterwards and now there is even story that Fisher was playing double agent for him. If you cant figure how that stains Stern's rep ...then just stick with your "i just talk basketball "
:lol.

Oh let's also throw in the airbrushing of Iverson's tatoos, the dress code and the pussifying of the game with the techs instead of dealing with flopping.

Is that enough for you? :wakeup

I can't get on a high horse tbh...physically impossible

[redzero]

Killakobe is not even coherent right now.

[Killakobe81]

lol

Was just slinging mud at the mud slinger. Kinda like Doc spinning the tin cup at ringo, tbh. :lolThe high horse joke is pretty funny.
But I dont see how you could not see that me calling out stern was not about that trade. To reduce it to just Bledsoe and Aminu is pretty silly you know me better than that. Like I said that is a personal beef which I admit I am biased on. I love the way Bledsoe plays and Hate Aminu ... cant stress that enough. I was hearing Hornets liked him (Bledsoe)and thought smart move. A really good trade for the Hornets ... still I did not say it wasnt. What I maintained ALL year was they should of asked for more. Minny pick ended up 10. Aminu sucks. Kaman may stay but he is not that good and Gordon was hurt and may leave. I stand by my argument. Lakers trade was worse I agree. Hornets could have gotten more than either deal.

[Killakobe81]

Killakobe is not even coherent right now.

Stay out red, this is a grown man, discussion.

[redzero]

Could "HAVE" gotten more, not "OF."

[Killakobe81]

Could "HAVE" gotten more, not "OF."

Thanks :lol I hate my phone sometimes

[Killakobe81]

Hey back to the points I was making before DPG, pulled me aside. Happy for the Hornets fans. I have two in my fantasy football league. We shall see if they let go Kaman and/or Gordon curious to see what you guys sign around those 2 picks. And I agree with the Spirit fan that said having 1 and 10 is better than having two top 5 picks that did not include Davis ... this draft is overrated.

Great show. The last episode is amazing and I just started the book (aCoK) this season is based on. DPG does remind me of Tyrion Lannister little guys, that are smart, well spoken with high opinons of themselves ... if DPG can bang whores like the Lannisters do ... DPG is a pimp! :toast

Tyrion also gets the "short end" by his family too ... :lol

Game of thrones, HBO. Great show. Lead character is an imp who is smarter than everyone and knows it.

Kaman sucks. They need to let him go. He's was brought in just to match salaries for the trade.

Aminu is terrible offensively, solid defensively, but that's not a reason to turn down the trade and they wouldn't have been able to get a better trade to make them a long-term playoff team. Even Denver and Utah are stuck in lower seed purgatory which won't help them contend unless they make more moves. The NBA rewards being very good and very bad.

Agreed but Favors was good pickup. I think he has a chance to be very good, I dont think he will be great.
