May 2, 201214 yr Being a marginal follower of the NBA, was wondering what those of you in the know thought was the best AD could hope for from the draft lottery? The draft odds were released this week...Out of 1000 chances each team has the following number of chances... Charlotte 250 Washington 199 Cleveland 138 New Orleans 137 Sacramento 76 New Jersey* 75 Golden State# 36 Toronto 35 Detroit 17 Minnesota (To New Orleans via LA Clippers) 11 Portland 8 Milwaukee 7 Phoenix 6 Houston 5 * This pick may be conveyed to Portland. # This pick may be conveyed to Utah via New Jersey.
May 2, 201214 yr Washington would be the best spot for him IMO. He has a dynamic guard in place and a very good low post player to play next to. A core of Nene, Wall, and Davis is pretty solid. If they Amnesty Rashard Lewis they would be in GREAT shape as far as cap space. Only bad contract on that team is Blatche, somehow he is owed $20M over the next 3 years. Cleveland would be my 2nd option. Similar situation as Washington, dynamic good and a very solid low post player with Anderson Varejao. Outside of those 2 they pretty much stink. They have cap space to get better if they can convince people to come to Cleveland. Charlotte is awful anyway you spin it. Corey Maggette is the best player on that team. Just awful. Please don't let them win the lottery.

May 2, 201214 yr Author How about Sacremento playing next to Boogie? Maybe Boogie could learn from AD's example. Bullets....er Wizards seem to be a good fit as stated. I just DO NOT want him to go to the Bobcats...they seem horrible from top to bottom with no real idea how to fix anything.
May 2, 201214 yr Why is everyone dismissing Houston? I think Houston is on an entirely different level than Washington or Cleveland.
May 2, 201214 yr Why is everyone dismissing Houston? I think Houston is on an entirely different level than Washington or Cleveland. Teams with a realistic chance to win the lottery.
May 2, 201214 yr I would like to see the #1 and #2 picks go to any combination of these 5 teams: Washington Sacramento Cleveland Detroit Brooklyn Putting Davis on one of them and MKG on another would be awesome for both the teams and Davis and MKG respectively.
May 2, 201214 yr Author Is it possible that the "Ewing Fix" could take place again with Brooklyn winning the lottery this year?
May 2, 201214 yr Teams with a realistic chance to win the lottery. Wasn't the question though. So where is the cutoff of teams "with a realistic chance"?
May 2, 201214 yr Wasn't the question though. So where is the cutoff of teams "with a realistic chance"? It drops off quick after New Orleans. I expect the team the NBA owns(New Orleans) to get the #1 pick. They won't fix it for anyone else.
May 2, 201214 yr It drops off quick after New Orleans. I expect the team the NBA owns(New Orleans) to get the #1 pick. They won't fix it for anyone else.:lol: :lol: They needed to sell that team a long time ago for exactly this reason.
May 2, 201214 yr Why is everyone dismissing Houston? I think Houston is on an entirely different level than Washington or Cleveland. AD on Houston, Milwaukee or Phoenix would be even better than seeing him go to the Wiz, Cavs, Kings or Nets. I'd love to see AD at the Wiz, Cavs or Nets and MKG to the Kings.
May 2, 201214 yr :lol: :lol: They needed to sell that team a long time ago for exactly this reason. I couldn't agree more. If New Orleans gets the #1 pick it definitely wouldn't pass the smell test any more than Ewing to NY or Lebron to the Cavs. The Hornets are awful. Almost as bad as the Bobcats. The fact that the NBA owns them makes it even worse. How can a team owned by the league be that bad. (Bill Walton voice) It's incredulous!!!!!
