Even when chaos happens in the Draft Lottery, we still get screwed with the 12th pick.

Yup, was hoping for a Baron Davis- type jump into the top 3.  Still hoping the NBA pays us back for being good soldiers when they bent us over and gave the Pels AD and left us with #2, but nope...

But notice, LA and NY end up in the top 4, and NO has the assets to restock with or without AD.  With AD and/or KD rumored to LA and NY, all the major players are taken care of and the NBA fixes its biggest markets.  

I'm thinking Zion pulls a Kobe and refuses to play in NO, and LA trades Ball, Kuzma, Hart, and Ingram + #4 for #1 (Zion) and AD.

The lottery literally makes me want to have nothing to do with the NBA.  This poo is fixed.

And some of you still think tanking is worth it lol.

As compared to what other option? Never going to be good enough to win anything without elite talent. Not one top tier FA will sign here. Our draft history days we cannot find the gems that others seem to nail.

In what world do the Pelicans make that trade? Lol

Do better at drafting and developing who ever you draft.

Honestly, we still just have to hit on our pick wherever it is.  Tanking doesn't guarantee anything...  philly drafted MCW, Okafor, Fultz, and despite what people think, bum ass Simmons.  All those top picks and they hit on one in Embiid.

Until we hit on a pick, we're stuck period.

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
