The Draft Lottery thread

Can we draft Mallory Edens?

Co-signed.

Although I am not a fan of the Cavs, I hope they don't blow this number one as bad as the last.   League Mulligan!

I'm just disappointed another young player with potential has to go to that awful franchise and desolate city.

What a waste.

Yup.......exactly.......the Lakers just SHOP and pick from these same group of about 8 teams that are in the lottery EVERY year .... ......it's the same ..... They get talent that WILL not stay at those cities .... Anthony Davis , Drummond, Irving , now Wiggins are all headed to the Lakers or Mavs just as quick as they can escape their rookie contracts .

So the Celtics are blankly blankly stuck in the middle.....talent won't leave for Boston , and th Boston crowd won't tank right to get top three picks .

We are screwed .....for another 23 years or five Lottery tank years .....when finally somebody GM will figure it out .

Cleveland needs to go the safest route here- Parker is the pick for them.

I really hope Danny trades up, not down or out.  I have no idea what the cost would be or who would even be interested in the 6th for a better pick.  I just think we need to go the trade Rondo route and add the best young players we can find.  I'm content waiting a few years for a chance to contend with a great core for several years.  At least- we can be hopeful that we will be more watchable than this last season of shame

Can the Celtics become a destination for free agents by the time that whoever the Cavs draft becomes a free agent?

I agree about Cavs taking Parker. They can't afford the risk that is Embiid. Parker and Irving would be dynamic together.

Some of the reactions on here are very silly and don't exactly exude mental toughness. Harden up people.

a truly wasted season I hope all the anti-tankers are happy.

We got the #6 pick Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Cleveland made a bid for Love last year proposing the 2013 #1, Thompson, and Waiters... They might revisit that... Considering the volatile situation there this past year, they should consider into dealing for a strong veteran presence. The Cavs getting the #1 pick again is annoying, but it puts them in a good position to build a contender.

#6 is a decent pick... Smart, Gordon, and Vonleh figure to be strong candidates there.
