    Tonight at 8pm we will know who gets what picks

    here is my predictions who will get top 3

    1.Nuggets
    2.Cavs
    3.Raptors


    CAN'T WAIT!! interested to see what pick detroit gets 8)

    after the top 3...it then goes on the team record who had the worst records.......so if pistons don't get a top 3 pick they will get 6,7,8 or 9 i believe.......

    I want the Pistons to get #3. I think the Knicks will get the #1 pick. The team I dont want to see get the #1 pick is the raptors.

    Someone explain this to me, but how do the Pistons get a top pick. Weren't they the top spot in the eastern conference. Don't you have to have a really poor record to get the top spots in the draft? I'm confused...anyone?

    grizzlies traded there pick, (1 protected) for this year like in 98 or something, allnet will give you more background on it, so if the grizzlies get #1 pick then they can keep it, but any other pick, then it will be the pistons.

    i don't know if this changes anything, but this piston fan says that he hopes they get #3, so it couldn't be top 3 protected :? . don't know if he's right or not though. btw nice sig shape 8) 8) :thumbsup:

    I think it will be.

    1. Toronto
    2. Denver
    3. Cleveland
    4. Miami
    5. Clippers
    6. Detroit
    7. Knicks
    8. Wizards

    Toronto will get first because Vince will be there. I have a gut feeling!

    9 ET or 8 ET?

    As long as the grizzles pick doesn't go 1st we get the pick..if it is top 3 and doesn't go number one we get it..so we could get either darko,melo,bosh,kaman,ford,wade those are basically the choices....grizzles can't get a pick if it lands 2nd or whatever after that....grizzles only get it if they get 1st

    1. i want memphis to get a pick this year, so i want them to be #1. memphis is my 3rd fav team. i like their future with mike miller, stro show, gasol, battier, etc. that's why i think they will get #1

    2. heat, shape's article made me put them #2(woulda been 1 if the grizz woulda been able to keep their pick)

    3. cavs were horrible, what else can i say.

    If the knicks get the 1st pick then it is proof that the lottery is fixed....as lebron would go to a team that they could sell alot...playing in NY is a high market place

    don't be surprised to see NY with the 1st pick..

    I would cry if he goes to new york. Because teams like Raptors, Miami, Cleveland, and Nuggets who have been playing misserably get hardly anything out of it. And NY has an alright season (for lottery) and they get first?
