Cavs coaching job now the most desired job in the NBA available.
Right. The lottery doesn't make sense as a whole. The worst team in the league should be automatically rewarded with the #1 pick, no questions asked. And it should go in order from worst record to best record.
Immediately looked her up. Rest assured guys. Shes 20 years old.

So the Lakers can't trade the pick outright due to NBA rules, which might work in our favor. We can wait, see who is available, and if it's not our guy, draft for Minny if they want to do a Love trade (assuming they haven't traded him already by then).
Teams tank now for a chance at more ping pong balls. That will make it even worse.

Time to get rid of Stern's lottery. It's not good for business!!

They'll take Wiggins. No doubt about it.

Only good thing to come out of the draft.

If the Bucks are smart, they will take Embiid. But they are dumbfucks so they will draft for "need" because of how badly they need a SF (you mean, like the guy they took number 1 overall last year?) and take Wiggins or Parker.

I hope they take Embiid and then in a couple years Kyrie bolts.
Three #1 picks and nothing to show for it in a few years

lol there goes his nba career
Then you have blatant tanking. Worse than this year, but every year. Like the Colts tanking for Luck. The lottery is the solution to that. PEACE.

I'd take the kings daughter, but it's close

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'd agree with you if the Lebron wasn't going to be a free agent. It's clear the league wants that storyline ("The prodigal son returns home to win a championship!") pushing ratings for an entire year.
That would be a colossal, year-long story. ESPN wouldn't shut up about it. Huge publicity. Much more than "Lakers get #1 pick."
I would have raged if the sixers got the worst case scenario of just the fifth pick.

Clearly the NBA wants LeBron back in Cleveland, or something.

Lakers and Celtics outside the top 5 but people are crying "rigged". NBA can't win with this lottery thing.
lol that's still the wrong one! She's close, but edge to Mallory. (Though at 18 I guess that's pushing it ha)

I don't see why people are upset about the Cavs getting the pick. There's no fucking way they don't screw it up. Dario Saric first overall.

Crap I need to go buy a bottle of Crown before the sto' closes.
Come on UD, put that chump Hubert in his place.

LeBron's not going back to Cleveland. That's a pipe dream. Especially not to play with a bunch of underachieving youngsters, a shitty 2013 no. 1 pick and an unknown 2014 no. 1 pick. He wants to win titles, not help teams rebuilt. Anybody with common sense knows he's staying in Miami.
Exum needs to pull a Kobe and refuse to workout with other teams. There is a mutual interest there from LA too.

He won't be there at 7

I doubt he makes it past Orlando at 4.
The only good thing to come out of the Cavs getting #1 is that a team that actually tried to make the playoffs got it.
Just sucks that it was the Cavs.

That's not a definite at all.

Smart move for LeBron is to opt into next year with Miami as long as they keep winning. You don't break up the chance for a four-peat. If they lose to Indiana or San Antonio/OKC, then maybe.
I figure the run in Miami continues as long as they win. If they lose, things change.

What is definite is that he's not leaving Riley and Miami to go play for a moron like Gilbert and the perpetual chaos that his Cleveland. Having to carry and drag a horribly put together team into the playoffs is why he left in the first place. Why would he willingly go back to that? Especially for the last third of his career when he will likely need great teammates more than ever. It's not even his real home town!
