DRAFT LOTTO 2016
No draft lotto thread yet? Surprised.
Could be a big night in Suns history. IMO there is a gap between the 1st 2 picks and picks 3-14. Will luck be on the Suns side? With no consensus 3,4, or 5th pick We should know tonight whether we are debating between 2 guys or about 15. Not only that with alot of tradeable picks, I think where other teams land, like the Celtics and Sixers, may help/hurt the suns ability to explore trades this offseason.
C'mon baby....we're due!!!!

Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
The Sunsiest thing that could happen would be getting the 3rd pick. So that's probably what happens.
Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
No, the Sunsiest thing would be dropping to 5. I think that's what happens.
Go Suns!

Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
Can somebody please remind me the general % chance that we'll get each of the #1, #2, #3, etc. picks? Where can I find that info?
Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
Practically speaking, I don't think there's a huge difference between us getting 3 and 5.carey wrote:No, the Sunsiest thing would be dropping to 5. I think that's what happens.

Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
We're going to trade the pick for Michael Carter Williams and make him our PF, with Booker at the 3.

Unfortunately I agree that that is the Sunsiest outcome.carey wrote:No, the Sunsiest thing would be dropping to 5. I think that's what happens.

Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
After watching the 30 for 30 "This Magic Moment" where Orlando had 1 lottery ball and won the lotto to draft Penny, I believe anything can happen.
If the suns don't win it though, I'd like to see the Kings win it only for the Sixers to enact the provision that they acquired last summer in a trade to be able to swap with them for it. What a horrendous trade that was for Sacramento.

Dikembe Mutombo spoiled it for everyone, and tweeted out that the Sixers won the lottery.

Wow. That... shouldn't happen. They take secrecy around this seriously.

Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
I expect the 7th pick. That way I'm not surprised if the worst happens. It is the best way to deal most things regarding the Suns.
Re: DRAFT LOTTO 2016
Yeah, they don't do the drawing till like an hour before the show or something and everyone is locked in the room with no communication devices.carey wrote:It hasn't even been drawn yet afaik.
Although if the Sixers do end up winning, even though they have the best odds, the Dikembe tweet will be great fodder for the media for a week.
