I’m surprised more top picks don’t pull an Eli Manning and refuse to play for badly run teams.  They get stuck with that team for the first contract and it’s financially punitive to switch after the first deal after that.  They can be stuck there for eight years.  You see Zion doing that now but what if he had just told NO to get bent?

In most cases, the team would retain his rights, so I guess he could go play in Europe or somewhere and try and leverage a trade during the year.

just for fun, here is my prediction for the lottery

Pick Team Player Position School/Club/Team
1 Detroit Pistons Cade Cunningham G Oklahoma State
2 Houston Rockets Jalen Green G G League Ignite
3 Cleveland Cavaliers Evan Mobley C USC
4 Toronto Raptors Jalen Suggs G Gonzaga
5 Orlando Magic Scottie Barnes F Florida State
6 Oklahoma City Thunder James Bouknight G UCONN
7 Golden State Warriors Franz Wagner F Michigan
8 Orlando Magic Jonathan Kuminga G G League Ignite
9 Sacramento Kings Moses Moody F Arkansas
10 Memphis Grizzlies Josh Giddey G/F Australia
11 Charlotte Hornets Kai Jones C Texas
12 San Antonio Spurs Alperen Sengun C Turkey
13 Indiana Pacers Davion Mitchell G Baylor
14 Golden State Warriors Chris Duarte G  Oregon

That's generally my thoughts as well.  Okie City passes on Kuminga to take Bouknight.  Orlando takes two guys who can't shoot to go along with Fultz.

if there is a team that loves guys who can't shoot, orlando is that team.

Why the fuck is Kendrick Perkins on my television? Fuck this clown ass motherfucker. 

Heinrich looks like the Amish kid from Witness all grown up. 

They already said Cade Cunningham was the best prospect since Lebron James. I…had no response.

 

Mobley may end up sucking but a 7 footer that can do a standing back flip is pretty crazy.  He reminds me of Chris Bosh if he learns to shoot.

HOW THE FUCK DID KENDRICK PERKINS GET THIS JOB?!?!

Wow. Barnes 4th over Suggs? Idk about that.

They meant besides the other 12 clearly better prospects since LeBron.

Barnes to Toronto?  Lulz.

Stupid pick. Especially if Lowry leaves.

Damn I feel bad for any kings fans out there just so forgettable

wtf Memphis?  You could have stayed at 17 and still picked up Williams.

yup.  you don't make that trade to take a guy you could have taken had you not made the trade.  definitely the worst pick thus far.

Tie between williams and Kuminga.  GS taking Kuminga (assuming they keep him) is tantamount to Green Bay selecting Jordan Love.

I wish someone here had recently expressed that that has the potential to be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

Looks like they're on track for that outcome.

i'm a big fan of moses moody.  getting him outside of the top 10 is going to workout well for whoever takes him.

Spurs at #12... Who makes most sense that's left ??

Another shock.  Wow.  

this is a hail mary pick.  wishcasting.

Where was primo supreme supposed to go? I guess late first because I don’t ever remember seeing him in a mock draft in the lottery.

Can't wait for the Spurs fans to explain how, no, really they're really not tanking and disrespecting the game.  That Primo was the pick that they felt would lead to the most wins 21-22 among all options available.

Found this:  Add ESPN's draft analyst Jonathan Givony as a member of the 'Primo to Philly' club, as he mocked the young Alabama guard to the Sixers with the 28th pick.

Uh, we’ve been wanting them to tank.
