I read something that LeBron's agent said, and thought it was interesting. He said that this time around in Free Agency, LeBron is considering all 30 teams, and whatever one he thinks will be the best situation he will sign with, kind of regardless of money. How awesome would it be if he signed with a total surprise small market team like the Suns or Portland?

lol I doubt that happens. I bet he goes to LA clippers.

OK, good to know.



I think someone here posted a video of the behind the scenes stuff for the last lottery.

<quick web search>

Pretty much dry as dust. I can see why that's not what they televise.

The way the ping pong balls are sorted and drawn appears fair and random. However, the key to making it fair is the number combinations on the board and the number of combinations each team gets. I assume the teams are vetting that.

im quite confident the jazz could walk away with Parker at 3 and maybe even by some ungodly chance at 5.

That was the hope when Randle was still in the picture. If he were to explode and get into the top 4 again it could help us.

Not happening though right PKM?
 
Cleveland has made some bizarre picks in the past. Boston could decide to trade Rondo and draft a PG. You just never know. If Jabari were to have bad workouts, perhaps. Or maybe the Jazz could move up a spot by offering the 3rd or 4th place team the GS pick. Unlikely, but not impossible.

picking Anthony Bennett 1st was a bizzare.

****in team has had lebron, irving, and now bennet at #1 in the span of what? ****in team is on the tank now again. Pathetic franchise.
 
I think there needs to be a rule to prevent teams who do back to back tanking from getting into the lotto. This is gona be sickening if they end up with #1 AGAIN.

That's my anti-tank rule change, only 4 top 5 picks every 10 years. On the 5th chance, the best you can do is 6th pick. Can you imagine the serious non-tanking going on in weak draft years?

I've had a couple mock drafts on ESPN where Parker goes 4th.
 
I could see the potential of Wiggins, Embiid and Exum all pushing Parker down to 4. He is what he is. An elite scorer who is versatile, but not a great defender and won't put up the same eye-popping measurables as those other three. Think 4 is as far as he falls though. Can't see Randle, Smart, Vonleh or Gordon jumping over him.
 
thats what happens when you have NO BENCH. Your starters will get worn down big time...and we're really starting to see the fatigue.

You cant rely on curry to come in and drain 8 three pointers a game every night.

it's too much.
 
Carlos Boozer is like a cartoon character. The **** he says and does will just leave me on the floor laughing my *** off.

-asks for more 4th quarter minutes. Hurts calf, has to sit out whole game.
 
Well, if Sacramento and Cleveland end up in the top 3, you know they'll find a way to screw up the pick somehow, so maybe thats how Parker will drop to us if we're not in the top 3.
