NBA lottery was rigged for to make sure...

[Regal]

The Queen would go back to shitty Cleveland. This ridiculous coverage is exactly what the NBA wanted. Surprised no one else is crying about it. They fucked us on Wiggins. I'll never get over it!!!

P.S. Even if we wind up with the #1 pick next year, there are no top shooting guards at the top. It's all big men. WE'RE FUCKED!!!

[Sect 236]

Just wait until they force Minnesota to trade Love to Cleveland without the Cavs having to give up Wiggins. That'll be grrrreeeaattt.

How long did it take you to glue the ashes back together?

Nah bro, it's still "weird" for him to cheer for LeBron.

[Eagle In Ohio]

Jesus Christ, how long are you going to run with that ?

Nah bro, it's still "weird" for him to cheer for LeBron.

If you can't figure out what I was saying with that, I'm not going to try and dumb it down for you any further. All of you need to stop crying like a bunch of punks. "Cleveland won the lottery, it's rigged !" "Cleveland got LeBron, it's rigged !" For the love of God, get a hold of yourselves. And you all have the nerve to say Cleveland fans act like jilted lovers, but you all are spending so much time worry about what's going on over here. The Sixers have good young talent like MCW, a potential franchise center in Ebiid, and plenty of cap room to make more moves. Be happy with what's going on in your own backyard.

You don't even know. Just my way of telling you to appreciate what's happening in Philly.

Oh, I do. I've watched every second of every Summer League game. That's somewhat pathetic, but I'm just so excited for where this team is headed that I can't get enough.

I can admit that I am definitely bitter that Cleveland got #1 three out of the last four seasons (this past one stings the most) AND got the best player in the world, but overall…In Hinkie I Trust.

Well duh

Multi-billion dollar industries don't survive by letting the vagaries of a ping pong ball decide their future.

Lotteries are for people who are bad at math, and neither the NBA nor the networks... are bad at math.

Which is why I'm steadfastly against any deal for Kevin Love that would involve Wiggins. If the T'Wolves are going to stay stong on Wiggins being included, I tell em to kick rocks. The beauty is that Minnesota has no leverage. They're gonna have to deal or lose K-Love for nothing, and the Cavs have young prospects and three first round picks next year to play with.

[Sect 236]

I'm high on Wiggins, but if Wiggins and Bennett, 2 ifs, are what get you Love, who is a definite, then you do it.

LeBron is the best, but eventually, even he will start taking a step back. By the time Wiggins is at his fullest potential, LeBron might be hitting that slide. Love is in his prime now and adding him could lock up titles sooner rather than later.

LeBron says he wants to retire in Cleveland, but he also wants to challenge MJ for titles won and the "Best Ever" label. If Cleveland doesn't get it done right away and he's forced to wait for Wiggins and Bennett to develop, who knows, maybe he moves on again. Put the team out there that gives you the best chance to win now, and that means putting Love out there.

I'm serious though, if they get Wiggins, LeBron and Love in one offseason with only giving up Bennett and future first round picks that will be in 20s, then fuck the NBA haha.

I'd seriously give up all three first round picks

If it meant Wiggins stays. The thing that I like the best about the kid is the DEFENSE he plays. His offensive skills are just a bonus.

I don't think the #1s the Cavs have to offer are really that enticing.

The Bulls own the right to swap picks with Cleveland next season. One of those two teams will be picking in the late 20s, so let's say that's pick 25.

The Cavs have the Heat's pick. Even without LeBron, in a weak East, Miami should still be picking out of the lottery. Let's say that pick is 18.

The Cavs have the Grizz pick if it lands in the 6-14 range. Memphis won't in that range, so that pick would roll into 2016, with the same limitations (6-14). If it doesn't fall in that range, then it rolls into 2017 with a top 5 protection.

So for Kevin Love the Wolves would get picks 18, 25 in 2015 and a first 2016 (6-14) or a first in 2017 (6-30).

This isn't the NFL where first round picks, no matter where they are, are gold. In the NBA, if you're picking outside the lottery, that pick has just as good of a shot to be a nobody as it does to be a starter.

They just need to wait it out

I'd be completely shocked if Minnesota just decides to let Kevin Love walk for nothing. They're gonna have to deal at some point.
