    If my information is correct, we'll have a drawing for picks on Friday.

    <Insert Meyers Tank gif>

    Our own pick: 16th or 15th pick
    Memphis Pick: 20th or 19th pick
    Cleveland Pick: 26th, 25th, 24th, or 23rd.

    Anyone can feel free to double check these, I got them by looking at the standings.

    we don't get a shot at 14. Playoff teams start at 15, Since the Jazz and Raptors won and CLE lost, I think we can get all the way down to 23 if everything works out.

    15/16, 19/20 and 23-26

    15, 19, and 23 would be quite a haul.

    Absolutely, but I'm be pretty happy with 15, 20, and 25.

    Doesn't the CLE pick become 30th if they win the championship?

    According to Reddit () that'd be a good enough haul to trade up to #3.

    the draft order has always, iirc, been their finish in the regular season. It's why the warriors had the 30th pick last year and not Cleveland.

    A bit surprising that Cleveland's pick could end up as high as #23. That would be awesome if it did.

    In football maybe, in the NBA the top players are much more valuable.

    Our own pick: 16th or 15th pick (between Portland and Chicago)
    Memphis Pick: 20th or 19th pick (between Portland and Atlanta)
    Cleveland Pick: 26th, 25th, 24th, or 23rd. (between Portland, Toronto, Utah and the LA Clippers)

    Great.....a whole bunch of big market teams except for Utah. East Coast bias/large market theory has Portland picking #16, #20 and #25 or 26.

    I'm sure Price-Waterhouse-Coopers will ensure the integrity of the process. As long as they don't erroneously give our pick to La-La Land, we should be fine.

    16, 20, 24 would also be acceptable.

    Even 16, 20, 25 (4x4, 4x5, 5x5) would be pretty cool.

    Basically, I'm going be happy no matter what.

    i feel like some teams might take meyers off our hands if we offer up the clevland pick to sweeten the deal. we could trade him for a towel boy or a new play by play announcer.
