Re: 2019 NBA Draft Lottery
It'll be an interesting draft because it's so unpredictable.
Who would the Mavs even take at #2? Morant and Barrett both need the ball. A lot of different scenarios could play out if that were the draft order.

I will take that.

Re: 2019 NBA Draft Lottery
We won the lottery with at least one generational talent on the board last year. We just chose not to take him (although Ayton could still be special). Nothing to complain about.
I also think getting the 3rd pick will be fine in a lot of scenarios. Atlanta and Dallas are two situations where RJ fits better.
I just don't want to get 4th or lower. I think there's a big drop.
Final thought - Zion is a no-brainer first pick. There should be no consideration of anyone else. There will be PGs out there that we can acquire via trade.

I'm here early with my popcorn for the meltdown when we get the #5 pick.
Re: 2019 NBA Draft Lottery
Number 5?! Pshaw. We'd be lucky to get 5. 6 is more likely. If I were you, I'd prepare for #7.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 1:11 pmI'm here early with my popcorn for the meltdown when we get the #5 pick.
If we get anything greater than pick 6, it will be a pleasant surprise for me.

Do we need to do the slack channel again? I'm not sure if there are enough of us left to overload the server.

Is this the preferred method of communication once the lottery starts up? I'll have to make sure I've got it working on my iPad.O_Gardino wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 1:56 pmPublic service announcement:
