NBA Draft Lottery. What pick do we get?

[Chaplin]

I'll be happy with

Oladipo
McCollum
Bennett

At least one of them will be there, maybe even two.

 

[slinslin]

Maybe Charlotte could go with Len too at #4.

I think we can still get one of Oladipo or McLemore at #5. Might not have a choice though.

 

[tobiazz]

Yh so maybe they can get Wiggins too.

I am hoping for this

1. Cleveland - Noel
2. Orlando - Burke
3. Washington - Porter
4. Charlotte - McLemore/Oladipo
5. Phoenix McLemore/Oladipo

I think that is not too unrealistc... hopefully.. At least Cleveland(Waiters) and Washington(Beal) don't need a shooting guard.

That would be amazing.

 

[slinslin]

Charlotte could realistically pick Len if they plan to keep Henderson but I guess Portland might want to trade up to #4 to pick Oladipo

McLemore at #5!

 

[SirStefan32]

McLemore is NOT going to drop to #5.
My guess:
Cavs take Noel.
Orlando takes McLemore
Wizards take Porter
Charlotte takes Oladipo
We take the crap that's left over.

 

[Sleepy]

Man we got screwed over again! If anyone deserved the No.1 pick it is was us! We have no cornerstone to build around and correct me If I am wrong but we have never had the No.1 pick.

How the heck did the damn Wizards move from 8th to the 3rd pick?

 

[Chaplin]

McCollum (and Burke) have been moving up the boards like crazy over the past week or two, there's nothing that says they won't continue moving up in the next month.

 

[slinslin]

I can't believe that Orlando is not going to pick Burke.

And Charlotte could go Benett, Oladipo, McLemore or Len. All possibilities.

IMO, Nerlens Noel is a piece, but not a centerpiece of a rebuilding team. Weak #1, IMO.

 

[Broseph]

McLemore is NOT going to drop to #5.
My guess:
Cavs take Noel.
Orlando takes McLemore
Wizards take Porter
Charlotte takes Oladipo
We take the crap that's left over.

Most likely a realistic scenario, oh well.

 

[KloD]

<Sigh>

 

[tobiazz]

Draft Express has Wizards taking Anthony Bennet at #3 and Suns getting Otto Porter at #5. Interesting.

[Mainstreet]

McCollum (and Burke) have been moving up the boards like crazy over the past week or two, there's nothing that says they won't continue moving up in the next month.

IMO, Burke is one of the most sure picks in the draft. Maybe this works in the Suns favor causing a needed player to drop.

 

[Sleepy]

IMO, Nerlens Noel is a piece, but not a centerpiece of a rebuilding team. Weak #1, IMO.

I know but Suns need something to help rebuild their future and the No.1 pick would have helped in that process.


Now I gotta pray that we get either Oladipo or McCollum.

Man what a horrible season just to get screwed over once again, I feel so sick.

 

[tobiazz]

If the Suns end up with an undersized guard, I might sob.

 

[Superbone]

We got what the people (poll) and the odds predicted. It shouldn't be a huge surprise to anybody.

 

[slinslin]

I'd bet that Orlando would look at trading down with either us or Charlotte to pick Burke or just picks Burke at #2.

What would the cost be to trade up from #5 to #2? Dudley?
Would Cleveland take Dudley and #5 for #1?
WouLD Washington take Dudley and #5 for #3?

All those teams could use Dudley, I think we should still be able to get a player we want whether he drops to us or we move up in a trade..

It's not a surprise, it's a disappointment.

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah I don't get why everyone is so upset we didn't get the #1. For one, it's not worth the value and for two, it's not like this is a huge surprise.

 

[Superbone]

It's not a surprise, it's a disappointment.

No doubt.

I'd be OK with that. Oladipo is my first choice, but Porter is a close second. Maybe we can find a team willing to give us a lottery pick for Dudley?

Scola, Dudley, and #30 for Perkins, Lamb, and #12?

Gortat for crap+ #10?

i'd do both of those

at #10 we could realistically still get someone like Muhammad or Len and at #12 someone like Adams or Schroeder..

I guess it will all depend on who all these teams want. If they are not particularily high on Noel and McLemore, I'd guess they might look to trade down, but I can't imagine Dudley would be enough to do the trick.

 

[slinslin]

At least we got lucky with the 4 teams being ahead of us...

Clevelands needs are SF/C
Orlando needs PG
Washington needs SF/PF
Charlotte needs PF/C

McLemore or Oladipo will be there at #5. Or we will swap picks with Orlando somehow so they get Burke at #5 if they don't take him at #2.

According to chad ford the orlando magic strongly considered Trey Burke for the #1 pick so I don't know why it would be outrageous for them to pick him #2.

In terms of quality it is not like he is a strictly worse prospect than Porter, McLemore or Oladipo..
