Even better.
Ladies and Gents, the person ESPN is paying the big bucks too.
Madison Square GardenWhat would the Knicks have to give to trade up to #1?

Culver, White, Bol and Hunter are the ones that feel right for us at the pick 5 range I think.So Culver?
This format did exactly what it set out to do. Punish tanking teams and make the lotto more unpredictable.
And it’s kinda good it screwed a shitty team in year 1 because now we don’t have to sit and wait to get the first shitty lotto and GMs don’t have an excuse to tank anyway. Now it’s common knowledge that this new format is gonna hurt tanking teams. GMs will put better products on the court out of fear of this happening to them. If you look at the Cavs and Suns we basically WASTED a year tanking. It’s gonna be hard to sell a tank to your fans now if it’s possible you don’t get a top 3 pick
Beilein will be a big help in the draft. Plus after last year i trust kobySince following the league I’ve learned one thing. No matter what happens people will claim the lottery is rigged. Call your shots before the lottery at least. Zion and Ja ending up in depressing markets is hardly a win for Silver anyway lol. Move Pelicans to Seattle and Grizzlies back to Vancouver at least and rebrand those two organizations.
Silver wanted to disincentivize tanking by flattening the odds and I’m not sure this is it to be honest. Fringe playoff talented teams calling it quits in January or February getting top 4 pick will HURT the legitimately talent deprived teams.
Hunter and Culver are solid players but if I’m the Cavs I’m taking a swing at Cam, Sekou and Bol Bol . I’ve never watched Jaxon Hayes but his %’s around the rim is insane and is a shot blocker. Having a PG and a defensive C for the future locked up sounds intriguing as well.
The one silver lining to all this is hiring Beilein who is familiar with all of these player and has scouted against them in college and looked to be in good spirits after the lottery unlike us LMAO. Maybe he has a guy or two in mind already.
I doubt Atlanta would do it but maybe they give us the pick we owe them. Hachimura and Reddish would be outstanding though. If not, I still would draft Hachimura at 5.If we could swing Hachimura at #8 while trading down with the Hawks so we get #10 too, I'd be real happy. Hachimura and someone like Cam Reddish could really grow into something with Beilein as our coach.
