    So, Chicago would trade us our future 1st round pick in order to move up 2 spots? I am not sure there is much of a difference between the two picks to incentivize them.

    Yeah each team in the lottery has a representative - for the Blazers winning the Oden lottery it was Kevin Pritchard even though ROY was the guy on the TV show. Then some NBA guys then an independent auditor such as Ernst & Young.

    Ernst & Young had $51 billion in revenue compared to all 30 NBA teams together having 11 billion. So I find it laughable when nutjob conspiracy fans think the NBA would be able to fix the lottery so team X gets whatever player.

    We can actually drop to 14th if all of SAS/SAC/CHI/DAL get in the top4.

    Yeah that auditing firm that is 5x as big as the NBA is really going to risk their entire business so player x goes to team Y.

    Or they could just follow the rules... and continue to shovel in 5x the cash the NBA does.

    I like him more than I liked Chandler Hutchison, but I have some of the same worries with Clifford. Has developed a lot and looks best when he's creating out of pick and roll and getting to his pull-up or post fade from mid range but I'm not sure he's talented enough to be used that way in the NBA. So just not sure how good he looks in a scaled down role.

    Slow process as a shooter off to the catch. Fun passer but fairly turnover prone. Doesn't drive to get to rim mostly unless it's a big closing to him. Ball kinda slows him down and he'd rather pull up or turn his back to the defense.

    Also don't like the he wasnt any good until he was almost 22 years old, much like Hutch.

    Nique's more skilled with the ball in the half court though, better shooter and wasn't reliant on transition or driving to rim and getting fouled.
