Event 2024 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY - MAY 12, 2024 - SUNDAY - 12:00 PM PST - ABC /ESPN 3

Funny to watch Jacked Ramsey's live stream of the lottery and as the 8th pick is revealed they're saying "it's all chalk up to this point", despite the fact that two teams with less than 3% odds had clearly moved up.

I give Sprague a pass, but when you're such a know-it-all and can't even track a 14 team lottery, that's pretty bad. You'd think that would humble a person, but it probably won't.

 

I don't think so man. It is all over the place.

 

Easier than ever to trade for 2-4 if they wanted to. There is no consensus.

 

Thats a solid point, and I have been skeptical about Joes ability to wheel and deal.

 

I think ESPN could have done a much better job of explaining who was supposed to be where and who moved up. Why not have the team who should have been picking there and then replace with who is actually picking?

 

And instead, @BonesJones reacted to that in his stream which continues to show their show is better than Marang.

 

That's what I keep reminding people. I have seen a wide variety of mocks where risacher is #1 while on others #10

 

Who cares? It’s the symbolism of sliding way down in the draft that Blazer brass should pay attention to. The basketball gods are laughing at them, as they should be.

 

#7 could very well be the best player

 

Symbolism isn't how you manage a basketball team and they could have slid to #8.

They moved up last draft. They moved back in this. Not a whole lot changes at all.

 

It's all statistics. If Karma meant so much, why is Washington picking 2nd? Why is San Antonio picking 4th? Why did San Antonio win the Wemby sweepstakes? Why did we get the 3rd pick last year. All this Karma talk is just bitching about math. Completely inane and ridiculous.

 

I definitely Flagg is all that and more. Would love to get him but even you don’t there are a ton of good players in next years draft.

 

And I disagree. This was the right play, no matter how it shook out.

 

Sprague plays both sides. He's a disappointed Blazer fan on some shows, then hooks up with Marang for an extra smootchy Jody Allen day.

 

They can easily move up too. They have the #14 pick and two second-rounders to maneuver a few spots up should they want to.

 

We certainly have the talent for it.

 

Oh yeah, another small no-defense guard! Just what we need, BABY!
