They’re 4-3. Pick not looking so good early on.

The Kings are way better than I thought they'd be so far this year but the 4 wins are against teams with troubles- OKC, Memphis,Washington and Miami.... Still wins are wins.

I have the recurring nightmare of watching the "Lottery Show" and seeing it come down to Celtics and Philly.   In all honesty, I would gladly take pick 8 just to avoid any likelihood of that heart-pounding moment.

Interesting draft coming up. Looks like 4 clear Tier 1 guys, all swings. Will be a good pick to trade no matter where it lands...

I’ve thought about this as well.

Imagine it coming down to us getting the #2 pick vs. Philly getting the #1 pick?

Getting a pick between 8-11 might not be so bad. The guys at the top of the draft want the most playing time.. Look at josh Jackson he didn't even want to work out for Boston because of that.

If we get a chipped shoulder role player from the middle lottery, theyll happily come off the bench and we still get a quality player. Although it would be real  nice to have someone like Zion, Barrett, reddish, little to come off be bench for us

I mean we barely have garbage time for williams that's why I came up with this thought

I'd still prefer the best prospect we can get especially if it's a top-tier prospect.  Idiots like Jackson that value playing time over winning become valuable trade chips to bring in established high-end talent (if the prospect is that much of a headache).  I see Jackson as the exception to the general rule.  Tatum did just fine joining the team.

right now, it's looking like a moot point because the C's would have 4 first round picks this coming draft and none in the top-tier range: 16 (Sac), 19(Mem), 20 (Clips) & 23 (C's)

Yeah, they're this year's Orlando Magic. They're young and athletic and excited to be here. When the rest of the league gets in rhythm, they'll fall into the bottom 3 in the West, no question.

I agree with others that it is to early to think they definitely won't be one of the worst teams in the league. I got fooled pretty badly by the Lakers last year when they started off 9-9 with a win over the warriors. The Magic also had a pretty crazy start. I mean are people convinced the rockets will end up with the 3rd pick?

They weren't bottom 3 in the west last year.  No guarantee they end up in the bottom 3 this year.  I do think they will be the 3rd worst team in the west with only Dallas and Phoenix behind them, but it is certainly possible that another "Memphis" comes along this year that goes into full bore tanking as a result of injuries, under performance, etc.

You still are on Dallas being that bad? Aside from their opener they have looked pretty solid, including losing a battle last night in San Antonio that went to overtime. Doncic has also looked completely read for the NBA which was a question mark and they haven't had Harrison Barnes at full strength yet. Who, while overpaid, is certainly a starting quality player.
