With Tuesday night’s lottery results now official, the top 14 slots for the 2021 NBA draft have been set. The lottery order is as follows:
- Detroit Pistons
- Houston Rockets
- Cleveland Cavaliers
- Toronto Raptors
- Orlando Magic
- Oklahoma City Thunder
- Golden State Warriors (from Timberwolves)
- Orlando Magic (from Bulls)
- Sacramento Kings
- New Orleans Pelicans
- Charlotte Hornets
- San Antonio Spurs
- Indiana Pacers
- Golden State Warriors
It’s a huge win for the Pistons and for general manager Troy Weaver, who had one of the best drafts of any NBA team in 2020, nabbing Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey, and Saben Lee. This time around, Detroit is in position to draft Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham, who is widely considered to be the No. 1 prospect in the 2021 draft class.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter link), the plan is for Cunningham to visit just one team before the July 29 draft: the Pistons.
The Rockets, like Detroit, entered the night with the best odds at landing a top-four pick (52.1%). And while they ended up at No. 2 rather than No. 1, it’s a major relief for the franchise, which would have had to send its pick to the Thunder in exchange for the No. 18 selection if it had landed outside of the top four.
Rather than falling out of the lottery, Houston is poised to take its pick from a top tier of prospects that includes Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, Jalen Green, and Jonathan Kuminga. Whichever player the Rockets select figures to become the centerpiece of the team’s rebuild.
The Cavaliers and Raptors moved up in the lottery standings, from fifth and seventh respectively, into the top four. As we noted in our Cavs offseason preview earlier today, Cleveland hasn’t missed on any of its recent lottery picks, but also hasn’t landed a prospect who looks capable of being the club’s franchise player. The Cavs may get that opportunity in 2021.
As for the Raptors, after making the playoffs for seven straight seasons and winning a title in 2019, they had a disastrous 2020/21 campaign, displaced from their home in Toronto due to the coronavirus pandemic and dealing with constant COVID-19 and injury issues. They’re now in position to add an intriguing young player to a core that already includes Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, and OG Anunoby.
Although none of the teams that moved into the top four did so from the bottom half of the lottery, it’s worth noting that the No. 7 spot in the lottery standings has been especially lucky since the NBA revamped the format three years ago. The Pelicans moved up to No. 1 from that position in 2019, allowing them to draft Zion Williamson. In 2020, the Hornets moved from No. 7 to No. 3, putting them in position to select eventual Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball. Now the Raptors have moved up from that spot too.
The night’s biggest losers include the Timberwolves and Bulls, who would have held onto their lottery picks if they had moved into the top three and the top four, respectively. Instead, those picks will be sent to the Warriors and Magic at No. 7 and No. 8.
The Magic‘s own pick and the Thunder‘s selection slipped two spots as a result of the lottery — they’ll pick at No. 5 and No. 6.
It was still a good night for the Magic, who control two of the top eight picks in a strong draft, but the outcome wasn’t great for Oklahoma City. The Thunder entered the evening with the potential to come away with two top-five picks. Instead, they’ll have zero, having lost the ability to swap first-rounders with Houston.
The 9-14 picks in the draft lottery standings remained unchanged.
Congrats to the Pistons and Rockets.
Go Cavs
The Biggest loser ranking
Thunder
Wolves
Bulls
Warriors
Magic
Warriors?
Wolves
Bulls
Thunder
Don’t more
Warriors best luck is
1 and 4
Magic best luck is
1 and 5
But .……
exactly, how did the Warriors have bad luck? we couldn’t get 1 and 4 because #1 would have gone to the Wolves. 7 and 14 is just fine for a playoff caliber team.
Technically, he is correct. The Warriors could have wound up with the 1st and 4th picks. It would have taken amazing luck. I think they had like a 5% chance of the Minnesota pick moving up to #4. They had a less 1% chance of their pick, #14, moving up to #1. Next to impossible. But, we can always dream.
please explain why Warriors?? love to hear it. Thank You sillyman.
I honestly think Sillivan is a 14yo who maybe one day will mature into a good analyst.
Or he’s 44 and has no business offering his obscured views.
They are the biggest loser!
Yippeee
Where were the raptors supposed to be?
7th
I called it a month ago. 7th place is the place to be. 7th spot has moved up into the top 4 more than any other spot. Yeah, it’s random, but at some point even skeptics have to admit that there is some good luck with the spot.
Who gets a better deal?
Russell for Wiggins, 7th pick and Oubre Bird right
Wolves just don’t want to give Warriors 4th or 5th pick by defeating Magic, Cavs and Rockets on final 2 weeks of the season
They were stupid then. Because they were going to give the pick regardless, but now their second round pick is lower.
Scratch that because Minnesota doesn’t have a 2nd round pick either. They were so bad, but don’t have a single pick in the draft. They better hope the team they have finally gels, otherwise it’ll another year where lotto day is important in Minnesota.
Sure. “Lottery.” They opened envelopes to announce the draft order, like an awards show. Only this was the most awkward telecast ever.
Unless they pull balls out of a randomizer live on tv, I don’t believe in it.
Google “2018 NBA Draft Lottery Drawing Youtube”.
There is your proof how they do it. Stop with this “it’s rigged” crap.
Yes the, great plan was Cunningham to send Detroit. A dream. Really?
It’s Patrick Ewing all over again lol
If it was rigged GSW would have gotten 1+4, come on bro
no, if it was rigged it would have been Lakers get everyone’s pick. You even see the officiating in that playin game?
I did, sadly.
fwiw I don’t /actually/ believe the lottery is rigged, but from a tv presentation standpoint it’s lame af.
I agree, if they did the actual drawing live it would so much better. Also, the fact that they put like 4 commercial breaks in that 30 minutes (especially before revealing the top 4 picks) drove me nuts.
Yeah, that was gross. Unless they’re drawing the balls live like the good ole days, I won’t be watching again.
I strongly agree, the presentation was like a total wtf – low budget, bad audio, weird cutaways.
NBA failed big time at presenting this like an old school lottery drawing style.
GO CAVS
Good news, top 3. Bad news, not top 2. The third pick can be messed up.
It can be messed up for sure. But…. here are the last 9 years of 3rd overall picks.
2012: Bradley Beal
2013: Otto Porter
2014: Joel Embiid
2015: Jahlil Okafor
2016: Jaylen Brown
2017: Jason Tatum
2018: Luka Doncic
2019: RJ Barrett
2020: LaMelo Ball
And this is supposed to be the best draft in years! Crossing my fingers for them making the right choice.
I assume the Raps will just take whichever Jalen is left after the Cavs pick.
Looks like Cade to Detroit and Mobley to Houston.
Who knows which Jalen goes to the Cavs, I’d go with Suggs.
That is a list to inspire confidence. Now, no pairing of Garland and Suggs in the backcourt. Anyone else.
The one night out of the year the really bad teams can get excited. Don’t worry the team will still SUCK next year.
Who’s your team?
One of the teams not in the lottery.
Your team is one bad fall for Embid away from lottery heaven. The one positive however is that Doc ain’t going to stay around.
Suck like the two teams headed for the finals? They were going to be lottery forever a short time ago, PHX & ATL.
Not the right year to post that.
LMAO no Cade for the Rockets. Losing in the draft lottery too.
Yeah, they only have to settle for the #2 pick…poor them.
He’s just another Rockets hater. Mobley could easily end up being the best player in this year’s draft, he certainly has a ton of potential.
Says the biggest hater on this site
Not sure how #2 pick is losing? How often is #1 a sure thing?
Where was Ben Simmons drafted?
I’ll wait.
Lol. Ben Simmons is a horrible comp. he has been an all-star multiple times and he is 24. Some of u guys clearly don’t follow basketball
Anyone following BB saw Simmons’ value collapse. And his contract runs to 2025.
Idk, felt timely.
Cade can actually shoot the ball. The recent #1 picks have a significantly better track record than the #2 overall.
Why use Ben Simmons as an example when Anthony Bennett exists?
bargnani, oden, kwame, and my favorite is olowokandi.
Cults
Fultz
Shultz who knows nothing
Strudel
I get the Bennett reference, but Simmons isn’t at the level he was projected either. One could argue that Jaylan Brown and Embid would be a great force now.
they could of had Tatum as well… over fultz…
Better comp would have been #1 pick then Michael Jordan, Greg Oden then Kevin Durant, Andrea Bargnani then LaMarcus Aldridge, Anthony Bennet then Victor Oladipo,
Simmons at least averages 16pts, 8 asts, 7 rbs a game and that’s with horrific 3 point and FT %.
I don’t the Jordan draft works as well as you think it does. I’d bet the Rockets were pretty happy with Hakeem Olajuwon even if Jordan went number 3.
The only loser at the top of the 1984 draft was the Blazers when they took Sam Bowie over MJ. Olajuwon was already considered a hero in Houston after what he and Drexler did with the Cougars at UH.
As great as Jordon was (the GOAT, not LBJ) it would have been extremely difficult for the Rockets to take him instead of Hakeem, who was also one of the top-10 players in NBA history.
Just being honest I have Hakeem at just barely outside the top 10 at number 11 just behind Kobe at 9 and Shaq at 10.
How many rings did Hakeem win? How many did MJ win? Portland weren’t the only losers in that draft, loser.
Houston drafted Hakeem and he helped them win back to back titles, so the Rockets weren’t losers in that draft. They got their moneys worth.
Huh? How did they lose in the draft?
It is homer optimism, but if Cunningham is a franchise leader and scorer then Detroit probably does have a nice team to take him. Grant as the 2nd option should be good and the rookies from last year can fill out that lineup and make them enjoyable to watch and competitive in the years to come. Obviously it couldn’t have gone any better for us Pistons fans.
This just in, Troy Weaver say’s the pick is up for auction.
Don’t tell Grant he’s the second option though lol
First time the Pistons pick #1 overall since Hall of Famer Bob Lanier in 1970.
As a Cavs fan, even though I love Sexton I think I’d lean toward drafting Suggs and trading Sexton. Who’s got some good trade ideas?
It’s hard because I love Sexton. He is always cited as the hardest worker. But if we were to replace him, I think I want Jalen Green next to Garland instead of Suggs. His tape is incredible. He had 30 points 7 assists 5 rebounds in the G League playoffs, so that says a lot. If I was to trade Sexton, I wouldn’t mind grabbing Orlando’s 8th overall pick.
I love sex as well
Green would be go to Houston…
I think Green has the higher ceiling if I had to pick, but I think they’re both easily potential all stars so it’s close. I like the idea of a big guard alongside Garland (Suggs has a little stronger build even though he and Green are similar heights) and I think Suggs can provide more value without the ball in his hands than Green can. But if Green ends up as the better player, it wouldn’t surprise me either. They’re both solid options.
I love Sexton too so the idea of moving him is difficult, but I have to admit that it’s tough to justify giving him the max or close to it and basically locking yourself into this core when I don’t see a championship ceiling. I also think they could get something back for him that would really help too.
Sexton for Kuzma.
Cavs lineup:
Garland
Green
Kuzma
Love
Allen
Cavs aren’t swapping Sexton for Kuzma lmao.
Lakers have next to nothing far as assets go to get Sexton.
Did you read my post? I said good trade ideas
If Mobley is on the board, the Cavs should take him. He fits best with them.
That being said, perhaps Boston would be a good home for Sexton. How about this
Celtics get
Collin Sexton
Cavs get
Romeo Langford
Aaron Nesmith
Robert Williams
future lotto protected 1st round pick
Not an ideal trade for Cleveland, but I think there is enough potential remaining in that trio to be worth the deal. For the Celtics, Sexton can be what they hoped Kemba Walker would be.
Without knowing how the money works there, I’m still not sure I like that. Williams is the only player I’d be overly excited to get and he wouldn’t be unleashed playing behind Allen anyway.
I’d be more interested in the Cavs trading Sexton+ for a veteran than trading Sexton by himself and getting a few lottery tickets, but it all depends on the market.
Yeah, like I said it wasn’t ideal for Cleveland. To be honest, of the three the one I would like least would be Rob Williams. But I watch a lot of SEC basketball and saw more than enough of Williams to not like. Nesmith could be a breakout guy if he goes to the right situation. I am not sure Cleveland would be that situation, but I know Boston is not that situation. Langford seems like he could possibly top out at a JR Smith type. Not a star, but a solid player. And that’s what the Cavs need more than anything right now is solid players.
I don’t see any type of veteran deal that would benefit the Cavs at all. Unless you have some kind of idea about Love + Sexton + #3 pick for Lillard or something. Which still probably wouldn’t be enough for Portland to accept.
I hear Ben Simmons might be available
Pistons better not blow this one. That Hayes dude is a bust, can’t shoot, his floater is terrible and he missed almost half of season in his rookie year. Cade, Beye, Stewart and Grant gonna be trouble!
I say let’s give Hayes a little time. He was 19. He has the ability to do exactly what they need. Play good defense and facilitate the offense. Lots of guys get hurt it’s part of the game. Everyone expects too much from these young kids. If they’re not a star in year 1 then cast them off. It’s ok to have a guy that defends and runs the offense who isn’t a top option. Charlie Ward did it for years. Everyone gave up on Dinwoddie and it just took him time to develop.
Yeah totally agree, give him time to work on finishing to his right and shooting. Sure do wish we still had Dinwiddie and Middleton these days.
Guess just happy we moved up for first time in franchise history in lottery and have a competent GM running things now instead of SVG coaching, and making terrible moves.
please dont judge rookies after one year like this, just an ice cold take/useless thing to put out there
Give me a break!!! Hayes only had two plus weeks to get ready for his first season and no summer games to get a feel for the NBA game. Considering he had to learn on the fly he had an impressive debut. He’ll only get better and does not need to be the primary scoring option so pairing him with Cunningham, Bey, Grant and Plumlee/Stewart will make them an interesting team to watch.
c’mon man, hayes just came from france in the most ridiculous year ever. his dad was a pro player(bonus), just give him a normal year and compare him to this year.
Hayes will need more than a year, since he is not that good, and comparisons are to players he is not like.
Anyway. Cade. Get serious. And he’s Weaver’s type I think and it’s his call.
1. Detroit Pistons – Cade Cunningham
2. Houston Rockets – Evan Mobley
3. Cleveland Cavaliers – Jalen Grenn
4. Toronto Raptors – Jalen Suggs
5. Orlando Magic – Jonothan Kuminga
Otherwise what about a three team trade.
Orlando: John Wall, 2nd overall pick and a second round pick (Houston)
Houston: 1st overall pick
Detroit: 5th and 8th first round picks and RJ Hampton
Houston then take Cunningham, Magic take Mobley and Pistons take Kuminga and then Moses Moody.
Pistons say no way
Your probably right
I imagine Detroit would want more. Plus they have 3 second round picks. Can’t fit everyone onto the roster
I think that trade actually makes all three teams worse off. That’s pretty hard to do, but you pulled it off.
I really disagree. Houston goes away from Wall and full rebuild with Cunningham the focal point. Magic would be winners really. Having Wall be a leader and help mentor Cole Anthony and Markelle Fultz, while they also get a quality big in Mobley. Piston probably say no but getting the 5th and 8th plus Hampton would give them three more really good youngsters to go with Bey, Hayes, Stewart and all the other young talent they have.
Wall might be overpaid, but he has more value than just moving from 2 to 1. It makes Houston a worse team that is completely dependent on one guy, who is far from a guarantee, working out.
Of course Detroit says no. Nothing more needs to be said there.
Orlando is rebuilding, but the one piece they are fairly confident in is PG with Fultz and Anthony. Why would they take Wall? You don’t take on a maximum salary guy to be a mentor. You sign a vet minimum guy to be a mentor. Plus, they are not one guy away from winning. They need multiple high end pieces, so why would they trade up?
The 4th and final loser of your deal is John Wall. Give the guy a break. He has spent his whole career stuck on bad teams and he still taken teams that should have been lottery teams to the playoff multiple times. Now you send him to Orlando, possibly set up to be THE worst team in the league for the next 2-3 years.
the trade is awful for Detroit
Detroit says no. Cade Cunningham is too good to pass up to put along side Hayes, Bey, Stewart, Grant.
They’d have an interest small ball lineup with Hayes at PG, Cunningham at SG, Bey at SF, Grant at PF, and Stewart at C.
ORL just dumped all of their expensive vets. Wall does not fit the “timeline.”
Only Houston would like this deal. Somehow they get rid of Wall (who should cost at least two 1st’s to move for nothing) and move up in the draft. Since everything going to Detroit for the 1st overall is coming from Orlando, wouldn’t the Magic just take the 1st overall? In lieu of toxic waste and 2nd overall.
If Houston really wants to move up to #1 they have picks #23 and #24 plus a bunch of other future picks to offer the Pistons in 2022 or 2023.
Never mind then on the trade idea. Still just think Wall to Orlando would be a great idea and open up minutes in Houston for a point guard of the future.
Not a chance Weaver would make this trade, ever in your lifetime. You can dream and that is where it ends.
GSW trading Wiggins+#7+#14 to Cleveland for #3??
not worth it. we need more depth and Wiggins was the only Warrior outside of Curry and Dray that put in a consistent effort. He’s the best 4th option in the league next year with Klay coming back.
What about doing a sign and trade with Oubre for any number of VERY interesting stars about to suddenly be on the trade market? Wiggins and the picks for any of the top 3 picks helps immensely to also free up money they can take on with an Oubre snt, because the top 10 of these picks are all going to be instant rotation players and in the case of Cunningham, immediate starters. Wiggins is actually a really good player too, like you said, so it’s not like a 1-sided trade or anything. I like freeing up the team and turning over as much of it as they can. Outside of the big 3 and JTA I don’t care about keeping anyone if a better quality team can be assembled around Steph’s new extended prime, which looks to be at least 5 more years of elite play in him. He was truly absurd last season, oh my god. A true legend.
How bout sakim and 4 for Wiggins and 7 and 14?
Loves it
Might have to throw Lowry and/or Hood in there, for $ reasons though, now I think about it.
Tre Waters & Ro Langford along with Boston’s 2023 1st (top10 protected) goes to Cleveland… Young Bull & Dean Wade goes to Boston
Lmao cavaliers hang up immediately on that trade offer for Sexton.
Why? Tre is a younger, better version of Ish Smith. Romeo is injury prone but he’s a youngster with a high ceiling not only as a scorer but as a rebounder & defender as well. He’d be a great fit alongside Garland/Suggs/Okoro. Plus Cleveland gets a future 1st. They avoid giving Collin a huge contract, add depth & versatility. Cleveland might ask for Robert Williams or Moses Brown as well but they’d definitely have interest
Credit for knowing Dean Wade is an asset— which also means no to the trade!
They’re not trading sexton for a bust in Langford and a player who’s comp is ish smith…..ish smith isn’t better than Sexton
And you want to put top 10 restrictions on the pick lmao.
Cleveland says no.
Want sexton? Aaron Nesmith, Peyton Prichard, Moses Brown, 2 1st round picks both top 3 protected in 2023 and whatever their next available 1st is.
Rockers took a risk and it paid off. Many, many more top pics coming there way in the future. Having the #2, 23, and 24 picks will keep this rebuild moving.
If they trade Wall for Simmons:
KPJ
GREEN
TATE
SIMMONS
WOOD
All of them under 27, not bad at all
Except Simmons is a horrible fit for their offense which requires everyone to be able to shoot 3-pointers, regardless of their position.
Westbrook was a very poor fit, that’s why they traded him for Wall.
Except Simmons brings a level of defense and passing they don’t have otherwise. I’d gladly see them trade Wall and some how get Simmons.
They’ll also most likely package the 23rd and 24th to trade up in the draft.
I like the idea of GSW they have two lottery and most likely would trade for the 23/24. They need bodies on the bench without the salary problems. if the plan a push with the Steph Klay etc line up they’ll need more rookies to fill the roster at low cost.
Risk? They tanked and were rewarded, is about all.
Shoutout to the Pistons though, least annoying online fanbase in the NBA by far, enjoy Cade
You would know a lot about annoying fanbases
#1 pistons cade
#2 Houston: no mobley, no suggs, so green
#3 Cleveland… Uh uh… no mobley… suggs? That’s the point! Trade down? Trade sexton?
#4 Toronto Easy mobley or suggs, great place
Cleveland the masters of moving up in the lottery
Only one spot… OKC, up one slot on CLE, moved down one on their own. Or something like that.
Pistons – Cade Cummingham
Rockets – Jalen Green
Cavaliers – Jalen Suggs
Raptors – Evan Mobley
Magic – Scottie Barnes
Thunder – Jonathan Kuminga
Warriors – Jalen Johnson
Magic – Corey Kispert
Kings – Alperen Sengun
Pelicans – Davion Mitchell
Hornets – Franz Wagner
Spurs – Moses Moody
Pacers – Keon Johnson
Warriors – Josh Giddey
My take… if everyone keeps their picks.
Agree with you…
I Guess cavs will try to move, okc either and obiouvsly gsw
GSW will do anything to get Barnes, they will definitely trade with anyone who drafts him before #7.
All you do is trash the warriors F/O and Kerr. And now all of a sudden you think they’ll “definitely trade with anyone who drafts him before #7”? Gtfoh you troll.
I am a Warriors superfan, I trash them because I’m not a homer and they blew an all-time great season by the GOAT Steph Curry. That’s not trolling, that’s knowing the game better than you.
I’m a super fan!
Sensitive little man we have here
I think Cavs take Mobley if he is there over Suggs. I see him moving the needle more for them. Sign and trade with the Nets for Dinwiddie that sends Love to a contender.
Lot of people mocking that. How much money are they going to tie-up in the Center position tho? Love is unlikely to be moved. Allen will get a big contract. And #3 overall gets paid like 8 or 9 M.
They can get a good return on Sexton if they take Suggs.
Mobley will be a forward IMO… a healthier springier more coordinated version of a center. May take him a couple years
hornets dont need another kaminsky, morrison, zeller, and they already have gordon.
You named a bunch of stiffs – I think Wagner will be a better pro than you think -he’s going to have real position versatility bc of his defense. Yea they have Gordon, and he always gets hurt. And they have a decision to make on Bridges after next year with only Jalen McDaniels on the roster in 22-23 behind Gordon. They are going to address Center in FA, so adding a rim runner like Kai Jones doesn’t make sense either.
Cunningham*
9. Kings Franz Wagner
11.Hornets Alperen Senguen
The rest is okey
Cavs with yet another lottery pick? Let’s see how long it will take them to get back into the playoffs. So pistons got the top pick? Griffin gets bought out and they get the top pick. When it was AD who wanted out and the following year the Pels got the top pick…
But doffernce is that Griffen sucked and AD was a star
Difference is Griffin finessed the pistons and played decent for the nets.
Troy Weaver just shut his phone off
CAVS have their guards, not unless they want to break-up Sex-Land …….. maybe trade down for the MAGIC’s 5th and 8th.
A dark-horse for trading-up, OKC can package their 6th pick with a future pick/s from their warchest.
If I’m the Pistons I’m trading Cade to Orlando for #5 and #8 and taking Keon Johnson and Davion Mitchell.
I don’t think Cunningham is a fit with their roster construction. I watched a few of their games and I wasn’t that impressed, but he fits Orlando perfectly.
Orlando can’t have shown their fit yet. Detroit is the fit based on what their GM goes for stylewise.
Detroit would never do that, if they traded #1 for #5 and #8 in a draft that most analyst say has 4 core players, I would lose it. Davion was a good college player but is just that don’t see him translating to pros at his size, not as a starter and Keon is far away and we already have Sekou like that.
It just makes us stay bad, we have a chance to bring a star here, we do it.
And so the curse of bad luck continues to follow the Timberpuppies as it has since their 1989 inception. Perhaps the curse will be lifted after A Rod is in total control and moves them to Tampa to become the Tampa Bay Bucketneers.
Brother, if you think AROD is lifting curses, I have some magic beans to sell you!
TBH the best idea really is to contract them and start again. Same with all the “lifetime loser” franchises like the Mariners. Cursed franchises need to be buried. You should get like 50 years to win a title and if you can’t bring glory to your city, another city should be allowed to take the franchise and totally rebrand it into a new team.
Yeah, they have won 2 lotteries in last 5 years and picked in the top 6 of last 11 years, it’s not curses, it is bad drafting.
Cade is a great addition to a young team like Pistons. Future looks good. Green could be best talent in this draft. Lot of talent in top 10. Scouts are going to earn their money this yr. Warriors are not keeping their picks. There’s a major trade coming for them. I can see a few trades draft night. It should be fun.
Rockets did well to keep their pick. Cavs will not pass on Green. But what if Rockets take him. You take Suggs or trade down. I take Suggs and trade Sexton. Love to see my Knicks trade into top ten for a player. Toppin, Quickly, and picks we got assets. Draft Night
You’re the same guy that was saying the Pistons wouldn’t draft Cade if they won the lottery because they already have Hayes.
Finally changed your mind, I take it? I called that foolish at the time and then you bashed me for supposedly throwing Hayes under the bus too soon. Which wasn’t what I was doing at all.
The draft show will do nothing to dispel feelings that the whole thing is rigged. At least all the team reps could stay home & do nothing instead of having to show up & do nothing.
The show was weak but I will likely remember the Evan Mobley interview. A bit of stammering with Chris Webber eyes, then off.
