Does anyone know if the worst team has ever drafted 4th? I know we drafted 3rd that time we were supposed to have Duncan. Maybe that's as close as it ever came

When it comes to the NBA Draft lottery, I have complete confidence in our ability to land the worst possible pick, no matter what the odds are.

Well I like to know when we're making history.

The lottery is May 16th.
Fingers crossed for Fultz or Jackson.

It has happened a few times , 2009 Sacramento, 2007 Memphis, 2006 Portland, 1993 Dallas, there could be some more , not sure.

Im betting the worst team has picked fourth more times than it has picked first.  Of course, there are also greater odds of picking fourth than first too so shouldn't surprise.

Yeah, by the actual odds for the Nets pick now that it is determined to be the worst record, we have a higher chance at the #4 pick than we do for #1, #2, or #3 individually.

#1: 25.0 % chance
#2: 21.5 % chance
#3: 17.7% chance
#4: 35.8% chance

So we have a 46.5% chance at 1 or 2, and a 64.2% chance at a top 3 pick, which is not great all things considered. Thankfully this is a 4 player deep draft at the top  :)

If we get the #4 pick, I'm going to pay one of you goons on here to slap the heck out of David Stern. Just because we owe him one.

Now I hope the lottery balls work in our favor, and Danny Ainge does not screw up drafting Lonzo Ball or some nobody.

Markelle Fultz is who I want in green!


I was just thinking, "I hope Danny doesn't pull a Cavs/Anthony Bennett on us."

That's why the interview try out  with CBS is so important . I think he was a great recruiter for a small school.and good judge of character . I think CBS is a good judge of Celtic basketball type character .   Guys who really want to work and win and willing to put in the effort .

I was unhappy with Sully , JJJ , Mello .   Low IQ and not so great work ethic ..pre CBS .....based more on skill than character .


That's what bothers me about Ball ,  he did not step up and lead his team when it counted .
against an NBA loaded team . 

A lot of success is in the head. .

If you're down on ball for that reason, you must really hate Fultz.

Its one thing to lose because of terrible teammates, its another to lose with good teammates and get outplayed by your matchup.

Fultz had no team to lead, just a collection of misfit toys. UCLA was loaded. There's a difference.

Josh Jackson seems to be a Danny type player.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Maybe if the Clippers' season is over we can send Pierce?
