 Curious to see if you think the NBA is fair in this scenario.
 NBA Fans would be so mad, So outraged, if everything went our we and we selected Bagley JR, and Porter JR, both guys end with Jr, how bout that.
 We beat the Cavs, Lose to the Warriors in six then come back with the first two picks in the draft, can you imagine that? Would the league really allow it.

I don't see how the league would have a choice...

You can't just strip a team of assets they have already gained.  Boston took a gamble trading Pierce and KG to Brooklyn for that pick, and they took another risk giving up Fultz to get the Lakers pick and Tatum.  The league allowed both trades to go through...can't really go back on it a year+ down the track.

For the entertainment of conspiracy theories I voted no. But it probably doesn't matter. After years of getting screwed by the lottery when they finally win the #1 they trade down lol.

No. No way in hell. Funny, I thought the exact same thing. Combination of dreaming too high, and realizing what would happen if we actually landed that.
Truuuuuuuuuth!

 I'm putting this here too. Check out Porter JR here he plays one on one against Steph Curry, Fultz and more and nobody can touch him he almost doesn't miss.

If we ever are lucky enough the league should accept it, we've been screwed too much in the past, it's time for us to get a little luck.

They would allow it but we'll probably be the last ones. I'm sure a rule change will happen like Shaq-Penny.

Let's just hope we get at least 1 top 5 pick.. if we get 2 I will be ecstatic... but this year the most important is to get to the finals... last year I checked the mock drafts too much this year it is all about winning

After a while those other kids just had looks on their faces like rams being taken to slaughter. Looks like only one kid got a shot up against him. Where is he going to college?

I think it would never happen luck wise but the league would allow it if it did by some miracle.

They would, but the probability is extremely low so it won't happen. And when it doesn't happen, there will be a (small) group of people that claim that we didn't get the #1 and #2 picks solely because the league conspired against us
I'm bitter.

THIS.  Here we have yet another 'summer doldrums' thread about a ridiculous scenario.
