    Hoping for 1 and 14! I get the age of the Warriors, and the better draft next year. I also worry that they'll be aggressive in the offseason to give Curry and Draymond one final run at it, and make a big trade. I'd rather push our rebuild further along now.

    Exactly! get the best player that they absolutely can. Maybe two of them? Heck get a couple decent second rounders as well.
    It's Like A Box Of Chocolates! You never know what you might get?

    That Reddit thread saying #1 this year is equivalent to #6 last year put it in perspective for me… we’ve picked pretty well at #6 before, and maybe we can get someone at that level. Get the best position you can and then either pick BPA or trade out for a young guy who might need a change of scenery. I dunno, I don’t understand the “this draft is worthless” folks. These are the guys; make the best of it.

    The the 14th pick is a lock or they don't get it at all.

    that high will have already been crushed from 5 hours of HCP telling everybody, 87 times or more, that the draft class absolutely sucks

    He's doing the "Temper Your Expectations" gig early this year. Has to beings everyone already expects to be a lotto team next year. He can't work that angle in the prediction thread for this next season.

    Don’t we have an age limit on this team though?

    Why do you hate this franchise? Number one picks have not treated the Blazers well.

    Some early on line articles reported it as 5:30 for some reason. I'm glad I saw this as well or I would have missed it.

    If GSW wins in the lotto (picks 1-4), they keep the pick and Portland gets their '25 pick (top 1 protected) instead.

    Otherwise, yes - Portland gets #14

    We're going to get the #1, because there is no star in this draft.

    I don't think the NBA will give Portland the Piston's draft spot this year. I guess we'll find out pretty soon. Going hippy mode, trying to feel the vibes... Cade & Monty need more help then anyone else in the NBA.

    Nobody likes Jordan Poole, so the Wizards can get stuffed. I'll say... Blazers #2

    If we end with 6th or 7th that's gonna suck. Already a crappy draft. Everyone worth getting are going to go 5th and higher. Anything lower and it wasn't worth tanking.
