After a 3-team deal that sent Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas, 6 of the 14 active No. 1 picks are on the Wizards and Mavericks. 👀

It could be 7 if Lebron picks the Wizards or Mavs...
I'm bitter.

The related funny stat is that LeBron was picked in 2003, and the next #1 that is still active is Kyrie from the 2011 draft.

Also, Fultz and Simmons both still want an NBA home, so one of the Mavs or Wizards could take the lead without LeBron.

Has anyone checked on the whereabouts of Anthony Bennett?

Wikipedia says he is in the Bahraini League, which I have known existed for two minutes now.  It also informed me he was briefly on the Maine Red Claws, which, if I had ever known, has long since been forgotten.

You said at your season-ending press conference that the second apron wouldn?t prevent you from keeping this version of the Thunder together. But if we saw changes, it would be finances that would force a transaction, like the one we saw with Lu Dort. Is that still the case? Sam Presti: Yes, that?s accurate. We were comfortable being over the second apron with this team and how we were uniquely constructed. We have been consistent with that view for a few years now. This was a financial decision. The impression I have been given is that the savings generated this summer, and from being out of the tax the last several years, will be re-allocated to future teams. Along with other new well-documented revenue streams, this will allow us to make more basketball-related decisions over the next several years.

It's good to see a GM being honest, while also putting pressure on ownership.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
