  • Doc could learn a thing or two from Norman Dale
Odds for each team:

1. Kings - 25.0%
2. Wizards - 17.8%
3. Clippers - 17.7%
4. Thunder - 11.9%
5. Twolves - 7.6%
6. Grizzles - 7.5%
7. Warriors - 4.3%
8. Knicks - 2.8%
9. Raptors - 1.7%
10. Bucks - 1.0%
11. Nets - 0.9%
12. Bobcats - 0.7%
13. Pacers - 0.6%
14. Suns - 0.5%

I'd like to see Oklahoma City get the #1 pick (Griffin), and Minnesota end up with #2 (Rubio).  If everybody develops like they could, the three-way duals between Portland, OKC, and Minnesota could be epic in a few years.

Living in TN, I'd like to see Memphis win. If they can add 1-2 more solid pieces and start winning, maybe the city will be able to keep it's team.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

My dream scenario:

#1 New Jersey Nets
I know, why would I want an Atlantic Division team to get the number 1? But the idea of Brook Lopez, Blake Griffin and Devin Harris on the same team is very intriguing, imo.

#2 Golden State Warriors
I want Ricky Rubio on a Don Nelson team, period.

#3 Indiana Pacers/Milwaukee Bucks/Minnesota Timberwolves
I don`t know why, but I like this Bucks team and want them to get some more talent.
The same goes for Bird in Indiana and McHale in Minnesota.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Thunder or T'Wolves

Griffin would be great with Durant, or the T'Wolves could turn him into help for Big Al.

The Kings cause I hate it when the team with the worst record gets screwed. This is the only sport where that happens

Warriors.  They take Griffin and then decide to trade Anthony Randolph to the Celtics for almost nothing.

whoever wins is taking this kid:



the NBA allowed our boy to forgo HS and get drafted as the 1st Middle school player ever - what a prize!

OKC. Their logo and unis are so bad
that I want nothing but good for them.
Oh, and their record didn't impress, either.

The Wiz.

I'm a DC native and the city deserves to have a star like Blake Griffin for once.  In fact, if the Redskins ever got their act together, between Ryan Zimmerman, Blake Griffin, Alex Ovechkin, and Jason Campbell, there might actually be some energey in that town again.

That's a totally different situation.

I'll give as much TP as I can to any of you if when Pitino comes back to the Garden as a coach if you throw a copy of "Success is a choice" at his bench with a big note that says "I want my money back"

I really hope the wolves (celtics west) get the first pick. i'm torn as to who they should pick.

blake griffin is a player and would improve the team immediately but defense is a huge issue for the wolf cubs.

i think thabeet would be a great defensive presence next to big al but i worry that they would crowd each other in the paint. remember the old "clog the middle" complaint of docs when he tried to play perk and all together.

maybe they trade the pick for a veteran star from a nowhere team.

where ever they pick i'm sure they will manage to screw it up... like not taking brook lopez last year. (though they freed themselves of some big contracts, brought back a supposedly dead eye shooter and positioned themselves nicely for the 2010 FA bonanza)
