2025 Draft Lottery Night live thread!

[LeBowen]

Damn... my one roll to rule them all... in fact ruled them all.

My 0.4% wasn't 0.4% after all, three top4 teams moved down.
The thing I'm most annoyed about is that Mavs swap goes from an amazing asset to mediocre.
Since they got Flagg, I'd offer them their swap back in exchange for PJ Washington, tbh.

I guess workouts will decide Harper's fate.
Bailey seems like a much better fit, it's time for Spurs scouting department to earn their paychecks.

I don't think a trade for Giannis happens. Maybe Nico is re ed enough to do it.

[heyheymymy]

not gonna lie kinda pissed that DAL got #1 handed to them for being ups. okay DAL had a less than 2% chance of hitting #1. It was like 1.8%.

This is one year after ATL jumped PLUS NINE slots. Anomalies are anomalous because they are statistically RARE

Let's quit with the xbox bull but hey I got #2 and #14 I can't complain. Just wish a more deserving team hit #1, glad PHI was top 6 but wish PHI stuck right at #6 ,and wish ATL didn't get the SAC pick. Still a fantastic night, denied OKC held back HOU and got #2. Spurs are the only team with 2 lottery picks.

Vassell needs to be on the trade block.

Harper and McNeeley or Fleming, trade Vassell for a 4 or 5.

We are extremely, extremely fortunate, fellers

I think you missed at least two extremelys

Hope Flagg has fun in Dallas with two broken-down stars in their mid 30s.

[RC_Drunkford]

Try to trade up to get the #1 pick. It‘s Nico Harrison, he‘ll do it

[rankingtear]

MIL is for sure calling Brian Wrong right now.

[Russ]

To go contrarian, if the Spurs like a local (80 miles away) guy Tre Johnson . . .

Do they use #2 on him or do they trade down, get a little vig, and then take him later on.

Just spitballing -- I think they'll take Harper (and probably should).

But, to me, Tre is intriguing.

[vy65]

Coop did not look happy. Perhaps cope, but does he pull an Alex Sarr?

[Ice009]

Is it possible Dallas trade the number 1 for Giannis? Windy said they've been trying to get Giannis for a while. They tried trading Luka for him.

[RC_Drunkford]

Kyrie is out for next season, Mavs need a PG

[mo7888]

This very much opens up the possibility of a Castle at maybe peak value + Vassell as foundation of a blockbuster trade.

It does seem to put it more into play.

[Blizzardwizard]

with how poorly the site has been running lately i think the traffic surge from winning the lottery would actually send this place into submission once and for all


would be an interesting experiment tbh let's do it and see what happens @ adam silver

i apologise @ adam silver. you were right.


winning #1 would've capsized this place instantly which would've been no fun


giving us #2 to see if the ol' slovenian hamsters have still got just enough in them to keep the lights on is much more entertaining

[baseline bum]

JFC the Texas triangle is going to be a nightmare for the rest of the league with Flagg in Dallas

[heyheymymy]

Spurs are the only team with 2 lottery picks. Ton of flexibility to get deals done if they want.

[rascal]

Vassell needs to be on the trade block.

Harper 2 and McNeeley or Fleming 14, trade Vassell for a 4 or 5.

[intlspurshk]

Crazy. Spurs should keep Dylan Harper and enjoy the cheap salary during the first 4 years. SPURs can trade all other players other than Wemby, Castle & Fox and picks for Giannis

[100%duncan]

Damn so close yet so far Payment for the Luka trade

[thiste]

Kyrie is out for next season, Mavs need a PG

For his own health/security, I don't think Nico can afford not drafting Flagg

[Chinook]

They would have loved Harper. I wonder if they'd consider a trade-down and if so what the price would be. Flagg is the top pick, but he's not Wemby.

[couchman]

Harper is the obvious choice.
He’s going to be a stud and is clearly alone as the only prospect in the tier below Flagg and above everyone else.

I’m also OK trading the pick(s) for an established star like Durant or Giannis.

[heyheymymy]

Would be crazy if Mavs ownership dumps Luka, crashes the franchise, gets #1, drafts Flagg and then moves the club to Vegas. Wonder how many rings Flagg will win for the Vegas Outlaws?

Nico probably on the phone now trying to Trade #1 for KD or some ... probably negotiating against himself by telling Ishbia he can add more picks if needed

In all seriousness... Harper is kind of a better fit for Dallas... I wonder if there is any scenario where Nico would be willing to swap #1 for #2...

[poopbox]

Spurs don't need to get cute. Draft Bailey at 2 and keep it moving. Package 14 with one or two of Devin, Keldon, and Sochan to get another real nba player and they are set up pretty good for awhile.
