Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
2012 NBA Draft Lottery odds and info here:
[url]http://www.insidehoops.com/nba_draft_lottery.shtml[/url]
ESPN.com reports: The suspense at the NBA draft will take place Wednesday night when the lottery order is unveiled, not on June 28 when NBA commissioner David Stern announces the No. 1 pick. That's because whichever team hits it big in New York will win the right to draft 19-year-old Kentucky phenom Anthony Davis, the consensus No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. "No one knows who is the No. 1 pick," said a humble Davis, who insisted that he could go anywhere from one to 60. "I don't know if I'm going to be the No. 1 pick. It's just a rumor. But I'm a step closer to reaching my dream of playing in the NBA."

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
The team with a really low chance of getting it is gonna get it. Like Detroit or Brooklyn.

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
My prediction for the results on Wednesday night:
1. Charlotte Bobcats
2. Cleveland Cavaliers
3. Sacramento Kings
4. Washington Wizards
5. New Orleans Hornets
6. Portland Trailblazers
7. Golden State Warriors
8. Toronto Raptors
9. Detroit Pistons
10. New Orleans Hornets
11. Portland Trailblazers
12. Milwaukee Bucks
13. Phoenix Suns

I will poop my pants in the Blazers get a top 3 pick. But most of all I am just hoping to keep the Nets pick.

Portland will get a top 3, book it!:rockon:

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
I hope raptors get the first pick.

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
If Portland gets the top pick then I feel bad for Davis' knees.
Sorry blazer fans, dont mean anything bad cuz you guys are awesome fans but just have terrible luck.

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Another vote for the Raptors to get top pick. Lord knows they need it. Only star players they ever hard were Air Canada and Tmac and both bailed like bitches.

Chris Bosh wasnt a star player?

Forgot about Bosh :facepalm . Makes it even worse though. 3 stars which bailed the minute they got a chance. Want them to get a franchise player who sticks around. From what I hear Toronto is an amazing place to live and they have some of the best crowds/fans in the NBA.

McGrady wasn't a star til he left.

[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You]McGrady wasn't a star til he left.[/QUOTE]
I'm aware of the idea that Tracy wanted his own team, out of Vince's shadow. Doesn't change the fact that he was a franchise player they lost... which totals 3.

Praying New Jersey don't get a top 3 pick. Dream scenario: Blazers win lottery and Nets get #4. #1 and 4 to Portland!

I don't know but Blazers have a draft curse. Would be it be again a wasted pick like Oden and Roy but at least Roy had been great during his short stint in the league.
Well your name says it all.

Blazers were actually lucky to get Roy, teams ahead wiffed on their pics and should have taken him (Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas, Shelden Williams). Oden seemed like the right pic to many at the time, but no denying Durant now (duh).

They were lucky to have drafted Roy but the players they drafted were not lucky to stay healthy:D
Seriously if the Nets dont land in top 3 and landed 4th and blazers lets say get the first pick they can get a real talent!

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Whoever gets the #1 pick should probably trade it in exchange for an already established or semi-established superstar player (preferably one under the age of 26). In my opinion, literally no one in this years draft is truly worthy of using a #1 pick on.

Portland won't get a top 3 pick because it's top 3 protected to the nets:coleman:

I don't think the nets can get the 4th pick.
They're 6th right now, they can get a top 3 pick via lottery or the 6th,7th,8th or 9th pick depending on how many teams leapfrog them via lottery.

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Phoenix ALWAYS gets the vote they're supposed to get...
I hope for a jump this year.
-
Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
The Charlotte Bobcats only have a 25% chance of getting the #1 pick. So, if they don't get the first pick, that doesn't mean the lottery is fixed.
Actually, percentage wise, Bobcats highest probability is 4th place, at 35.7%.

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
I hope Kings get it.
Anthony Davis and Demarcus frontline would be :lebronamazed:.
I wouldn't mind Bobcats or Hornets getting it either.

We dont need the top pick at all.
All we need is an SF and we are going places.
-
Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
Oh y'all still think The Draft Lottery is a actual lottery? um ok
Bobcats will get #1 because Stern will throw Jordan a bone
Hornets will get #2 because of new owner
The rest will be based on lottery

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
I think the boards (including myself) vastly underrate Davis just because he's ugly as f*ck

Very little chance it turns into a top 3 pick

Re: Official 2012 NBA Draft Lottery Thread
This draft has a chance to salvage Billy King.
I'm still in awe on how he felt giving up a top 5 pick for a 29 year old was a good idea.:confusedshrug:
Considering he could have signed Gerald Wallace in two months and still retained our pick.:hammerhead:
I hope David Stern can continue his streak of rigging NBA drafts and bail Billy King and the entire Nets organization out tomorrow.
On a side note. If the Hornets or Nets recieve the first pick, we need to go on a rampage because that's all the evidence we need to determine that the draft lottery is rigged.:roll: :oldlol:
( Although I want the Nets to get it and could care less how it's done)
