I can't wait to see how we get screwed with these Miami picks we have coming to us.

Jackson isn't a shooter. That's the only thing that he can't do.
But he's the most talented player. They'll take the most talented player at a position of need and then the guards just have to be 3 and D guys. Those aren't as difficult to find. They don't need a true pg bc they have Simmons.

This is quite comical. The Suns fully tank with the second worse record and still get the #4 pick. Celtics (#1) and Lakers (#2) both amazingly get higher picks.

Mind boggling, but not the least bit surprising.

I'd still like them to trade down as I don't think any of the top 5's are worth a top 5 pick.

I've tried to stay out of this, I know people want to rant but seriously, "mind boggling"? We had better than a 1 in 3 chance of drafting 4th, if that's mind boggling than what is routine? And it's not like the Lakers pulled off a long shot either as they had almost a 1 in 3 chance of drafting in the top 2 themselves.

We should have taken a note from Trump's playbook and hired some Russian hackers to rig the NBA Lottery!

Im checking sixers boards, pretty strong support for jackson... we'll see. Ben simmons already has shooting issues, now two wings with shooting questions? Hopefully they pass

I can't get into what the 76ers will do, but at #4 someone good will be there.

Fox or Jackson should be there at #4.

Once again. Sam Hinkie is a genius for getting that Sacramento pick swap in the Stauskas trade 3 years ago. Still wrecking havoc. GOAT.

They lose the pick regardless next season right?
No. Now they keep their 2019 pick too. The Magic just get a 2nd. THAT'S why this is rigged. Couldn't have the lakers losing two high picks. And who is easier to fudge than the Suns?

I'm not ranting.

What's mind boggling is the in inability of the Suns to land the #1 pick no matter what they do. Flip a coin or tank, it doesn't seem to matter.

Of course if the guy we pick at 4 turns out to be a future first ballot HOF player, then sliding to four rocks! :rockon:

We don't get screwed on others picks...just our own. That's how we get around the basketball gods.

It was pitiful but as long as the Lakers don't screw us over by grabbing Jackson, it's not too bad. I expect that if Ball falls to fourth with Jackson and Fox gone then McDonaugh will feel compelled to take him. Of course Philly may pick Ball on similar thinking, then we'd probably take Fox, who was my second choice behind Jackson.
