Title: 2018 Draft Lottery “Game Thread”
Post by: Roy H. on May 15, 2018, 06:22:19 PM
Enjoy.

I ran the draft simulator twice. The first time Philly got the #1 pick (Doncic); the second time we ended up at #3 (Jackson).

I feel like with all the hype and hope displayed here in these last 24-36 hours, we're all just setting ourselves up for disappointment despite the low odds as is, but screw it! I'm excited  ;D

As long as Philly doesn't get #1 and CLE doesn't get a Top-3 pick out of all this, I'm happy.

this is pretty much where I am at...such low probability for us to get the pick.

I really hate how they announce the picks.  Instead of this reverse order BS, they should show us the actual lottery as each ball is picked.  After each ball, they could pause for 10 seconds, and have an updated probability of each team getting that pick given the balls that have been selected.  Would provide much more intrigue then us just waiting to see if the Lakers picks is there at 10,11 or 12, etc..

Took me 28 and then 17 times for the pick to convey to Boston. Let's go with your luck.

Last year was so fun with the draft lol.

We get pick #1 (extremely nervous DURING the lottery show), celebrate hard, have a Fultz week on this entire site (forums and main site), hear trade rumors, deny it, see it happen, have a meltdown, scream at Ainge, hear more trade rumors, nothing happens, Jackson refuses workout, we rage, then we draft Tatum, and the rest is history...   8)  :laugh:

I'm happy the way it worked out, and apologize to Ainge for raging at him about trading the pick (Fultz). I'm also glad we didn't trade for rental George. Allowed us to have good depth (bench)

that isnt how it works. it is a combination of balls and there are frequent redraws when a team gets its range of numbers more than once. it would be boring.

So basically, if we don't hear them say Lakers/Sixers at #10 or lower (11-13 range), that means we suddenly got a 72-73% chance at a Top-3 pick (other 27% PHI getting #1)

Yes, it is how it works, other than me mentioning the re-draws.  Although to me, that would be exciting.  Nothing about this is boring.  Seeing your odds go up and down gradually is more exciting than just seeing that you didn't move up.

The way I see it now, only two things happen for Cleveland.

1. Lebron leaves them and they KEEP the pick (#8)

2. Cavaliers trade the pick + pieces to acquire another star to pair with Lebron (and Love?)

I don't think there's a scenario where they keep Lebron AND the pick. Don't think Bron Bron wants to bring in a young prospect when he wants to "win now". He'll want that pick traded for some star.

OR... if CLE wins it all, then maybe it doesn't matter lol

Pretty good outcome for us.

Cleveland didn't jump up.

Philly didn't get #1.

Memphis drops out of the top 3, which (very) slightly improves their chances of sucking for longer and therefore transferring their pick when it's unprotected.

The Kings getting into the top 3 probably doesn't hurt too much since they need a lot more than a single high-level rookie to become respectable next year.  Tatums and Mitchells are relatively rare.

Quote
The future first-round pick that Boston will receive will be the Los Angeles Lakers’ first-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, provided that such pick is No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, or No. 5 in the 2018 NBA Draft. If the Lakers’ 2018 first-round pick is No. 1 or is No. 6 or later, the Sixers will instead convey to the Celtics the rights to the more favorable of the Sixers’ own 2019 first-round pick or the Sacramento Kings’ 2019 first-round pick, provided that the more favorable pick is not the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. If the more favorable of the Sixers’ and Kings’ 2019 first-round picks is the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Sixers will instead convey the rights to the less favorable of those two picks.

If it ends up being the first pick, we lose it.

I could see that happening. The writing is on the wall for both teams. The thing is Lillard, and Wall are premier point guards, and the more superior talent. You have to keep them over these two right? Use McCollm or Beal as grade A trade bait.

They're all probably a little better...but they all still suck and are still in this draft lottery we just watched...(minus the Sixers for reasons not related to Fultz).

Not happy about SAC, but not too worried, either. They'll find a way to screw it up. I fully expect to hear something from Adam Silver along the lines of, "With the second pick in the 2018 NBA draft, the Sacramento Kings select...Darko Milicic, of the, wait, holy hell, what did they do?"

Also, Sacramento may get better with the #2 pick, but so will a few other teams. It's incremental. I'm assuming they go with Doncic, who's NBA-ready, but he's never played against NBA talent. Not saying he's not going to be a star, but it's going to take time.

Doncic to the Kings.  Probably won't move the needle bigtime in year one, right?



No idea, but good for the Kings.  That franshise has been a mess, but I've had a soft spot for them since they were robbed by the refs and Lakers.  That was unbelievable.


Another factor may be how their salary situation plays out.  If their two players with player options (Shumpert and Temple) opt in -- which I would think they will given neither would likely make more as FAs -- that doesn't leave room for a top FA and Sac will probably be best off clearing salary. 

Hopefully, they'll be pretty bad for at least another year...

If anyone wants a good laugh, check into the Cavs forums:

“LeBron is gone.

Hopefully we have scouted well and can steal a Mitchell or Booker”



“I would be a whole lot less upset if the Kings and Bulls had got the picks they were supposed to get now we will have to sit here knowing forever 1 more loss by the Nets might have netted us that Kings pic”

Absolutely rigged. The NBA clearly wanted to give the top players to money-making meccas like Phoenix, Sacramento and Arizona.  ::)

ESPN has Porter dropping to CLE at 8.

He could end up being the best player in the draft.

His game reminds me of Tatum's, only he is 6'10".

Don't write that pick off yet.

whatever team takes young or Bamba over porter is really bad at scouting. The back issues are worth risking cuz  he’s that good

When Combines come no way he goes after 5 to Dallas. I see the Cavs going with Sexton.
