Love all the additional chances we have at lottery picks. Wednesday morning it was 7 years of chances, now we have 12 chances; 2024 #1 Blazers 2024 #5 Golden State* 2025 #1 Blazers 2026 #1 Blazers 2027 #1 Blazers 2028 #1 Blazers or 2028 #1 Milwaukee 2029 #1/2/3 Blazers 2029 #1/2/3 Milwaukee 2029 #1/2/3 Boston 2030 #1 Blazers or 2030 #1 Milwaukee *technically 2026 #1(unprotected) is best if GS got 1-4(top 4 protected) in 2024 and #1 (top 1 protected) in 2025 So Cronin added 5 years of rooting for us to get a lottery pick from one of these teams starting with this upcoming season rooting for Warriors misfortunes. I'd say odds are probably against any single pick bringing us a lottery selection. But I'd say odds are ONE or more of the picks we get WILL be a lottery selection. Very impressive!
GSW pick this year is probably what projected to be about #20? I'd think they could end up as bad as 25 or so I'd they have great health and play well. Conversely could see a couple of their stars injuries make that a lottery pick and then all bets are off.
All that delicious, delicious draft capital. Liquid gold to attach to other picks or players so we can pounce when the time is right. I'm curious would y'all play Luka at SF with Scoot and Sharpe? Have Scoot try and get downhill and then have Luka in the half court 75% of the time? Just giving an example of what we would be able to go for when/if a superstar wants out. So nice to have a full cupboard.
