Would have been great to be in the top 2 to get a shot at Simmons or Ingram but 3 is still very good, I'm curious to see if Danny keeps the pick now.

Hinkie's Process Vindicated. 

Trade #3 for Okafor. 

Good for them.  Tanking works.

RIGGED

[spikelovetheCelts]

Rigged it was.

[saltlover]

I will never complain about making the playoffs and getting the third overall pick in the same season.

[CelticSooner]

We good at 3. I'm happy.

[Who]

So if the Lakers got DeRozan, they would have

PG: D'Angelo Russell, J.Clarkson
SG: DeRozan
SF: Ingram
PF: J.Randle
 C: (free agent)

They could have a fun team next year. Probably won't win much but looks like the start of something good.

[fairweatherfan]

Gah, so close!!  Can't complain too much about #3 though.

[Casperian]

#3 allows us to trade the pick with a clean conscience, so there's that

[Quetzalcoatl]

 

The worst part of our lottery "luck" is that we always get the cut off pick

[JSD]

Lakers getting #2 p---es me off

[PaulAllen]

Commish made a good deal to lock that #1 for advertisement rights..

[JOMVP]

[dang]... hope we can trade it. Otherwise, Jamaal Murray or Buddy Hield is still my choices.

[slamtheking]

dragan bender here we come. 

you mean, trade for established player here we come

[CoachBS#1]

Well less work for the mock drafters I guess
