The lottery hurts genuinely bad teams. 

If they wanted actual fairness they would make the lotto only the able to move up or down 5 picks..... 

They claim its not to reward tanking but in reality the lotto in NHL and NBA really just take away the illusion of pariety.

what if i told you the mavs just traded a top 3 player in the nba to the lakers for pennies on the dollar?

Oh I'm aware.

The lotto is a joke both the NBA and NHL lottos every year there is a true generational talent the lotto miraculously hands them to a huge market team.....

NHL New York climbs from 14 to 1

NBA Dallas from 15 to 1

That’s kind of the point though. OKC was lucky enough to get the #2 pick for KD instead of the #1 pick for Oden and they did a fantastic job building around him. And what happens? He leaves to ring chase in larger markets and they have nothing to show for it. They are definitely a better drafting team than the Hornets, but it still comes down to the only shot we have is lucking into a generational player in the draft and winning before they leave, and that chance is diminished by the rigged lottery system.

Ehhhh you do know the Hornets drafted Shai and traded him to OKC right?

Yes and I said they clearly draft better than us in the exact post you quoted. And yet with all their success drafting no chip and the best player they ever had left them. Again, it’s hard enough without the lottery also being rigged.

Actually, we traded him to the Clippers. 

The Clippers traded him to OKC for Paul George, the following year.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
