3arl Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Just read a crazy statistic about the draft lottery. Only one team has ever won a championship with a player on their roster that they drafted #1 overall from the lottery. It was the Spurs and they did it twice with David Robinson and 4 times with Tim Duncan (Robinson's two happened at the same time as Duncan's first 2). nvm thats not true nvm that nvm, it is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wrong. Kareem won with the Bucks, Walton with the Blazers, Magic and Worthy with the Lakers, and Hakeem with the Rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Must have missed the lottery part. My bad. But still, it's crazy that only a handful of number one picks have won a title with the team that drafted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Whelp, I'm expecting the Cavs to make an offer for Kevin Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 That's now the #1 pick for the 3rd time in the last 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Jesus hopefully they dont whiff again this year. Anthony Bennett is BASURA oh my god fuck the cavs Also the Knicks ended up giving away the #12 pick for Melo. I'm okay with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Whelp, I'm expecting the Cavs to make an offer for Kevin Love. Not a chance that will happen. Love will not resign with the Cavaliers, and besides the #1 pick they don't have anything to offer for Love because no way are they trading Irving. Love will end up with Phoenix or Golden State.

How does he fit with either team. Love wants to win now. GS has a forward logjam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Also the Knicks ended up giving away the #12 pick for Melo. I'm okay with that. the #12 pick + Damillo Gallinari + Wilson Chandler + Timofey Mozgov + Raymond Felton + 2 2nd round picks + $3 million all that for one year of a contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah, it's going to be with either Golden State, Chicago, or Boston. Maybe Houston. Lakers and Knicks don't have any assets, and I don't see Love wanting to play in Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'd only trade to Golden State if they include Klay if I were the Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 How does he fit with either team. Love wants to win now. GS has a forward logjam. Because Davis Lee and probably Harrison Barnes would be involved in the deal. I personally would ask for Thompson over Barnes, but that might be to much for Golden State to part with.

The Suns have 3 1st round picks this year and plenty of young players so don't count them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Golden State would end up overpaying for Thompson in a couple years. I'd love if the Warrirs traded us Lee, Barnes, and Thompson. But I'm expecting us to get ripped off, because no team ever gets equal value in return when trading a superstar. Plus with Love essentially having one foot out the door, we have no leverage aside from teams getting in a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Friendly Rap God Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 the #12 pick + Damillo Gallinari + Wilson Chandler + Timofey Mozgov + Raymond Felton + 2 2nd round picks + $3 million all that for one year of a contract So a rookie Gallo = injury prone Chandler = injury prone Mozgov = Solid bench player Got Felton back (even though he couldnt be any worse) for a top 5 player in the NBA. Ill still take it. I hope Melo leaves. My team is overdue for a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Chicago could give us a first round pick, Butler, Gibson, and Mirotic. Boston could give us a first round pick, maybe two, Bradley, Sullinger, and Bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 all 3 Lee, Barnes, and Thompson wouldn't happen. Then I'd consider doing it if you swapped Thompson with Green, and include a future first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmanfredi Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Then I'd consider doing it if you swapped Thompson with Green, and include a future first. now that i can definitely see. those 3 are the names that have been rumored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
