Game Thread NBA Draft Lottery - May 12, 2025

[Peter Effin' Parker]

Decided to try Locke today given the circumstances. 30 seconds in he’s playing AI Kendrick Lamar about Flagg to Utah.


Wtf

I hear the league is investigating making the Jazz forfeit our pick completely because that song is so so so bad.

My grandma just turned 90. She's been a huge jazz fan her entire life. It was told everyone to say a prayer for the jazz to get the number 1 pick. The nba will not upset grandma

For whatever reason, this made me think of everyone praying for you grandma in the form of a “We Are The World” performance. I asked AI to take the We Are The World video and to have them singing about the Jazz winning the lottery. This is what we got:

Somewhere out there is a fan base this morning that doesn't know yet that it won the lottery.

See, I don't like the way Windhorst conflates the Giannis trade discussion with tonight's draft lottery. If Brooklyn gets Flagg, do they send him to Milwaukee for Giannis? Does Houston move up and get another trade asset to offer for Giannis or Kevin Durant? Does the league have an opinion on this?

No but SA, Philly and/or Brooklyn have a good idea they did, and at least their owner already knows, so there is that.

Did they already draw the balls?

I feel like the lottery draft will go how it'll benefit where Giannis wants to go. Something shady will happen...

Here’s a live look at Adam Silver drawing balls.

Says they guy who cost us Wemby with his terrible thread.

Remind me what that thread was again? I seriously don’t remember.

Just tried Tankathon too. First and only try we got 1st, before Philly and Washington. I’m never lucky, so this time it’s meant to be.

Edit. Accidentally hit the button for a second try: 1st again before Washington and Charlotte.

And you used up all your luck on a tankathon simulation…

My accidental second simulation landed us 1st again. It isn’t about luck, it’s fate.
