And WCS. 3 former wildcats from last years team representing their teams. Impressive

Lakers are in a precarious position.

Not anymore.

Philly could very realistically end up with both Jamal Murray and Tyler Ulis to start next season. Would be interesting to see to say the least.
I'd like Murray to go to the Timberwolves though.

EDIT: Or they'll take Brandon Ingram. My hopes for Murray to the Timberwolves live on!

Celtics will not draft Murray. They have too many guards now.

Sixers will select Simmons and live to regret it.
Lakers get a future all-star in Ingram (of course)
Celtics take Bender or whatever big guy Europe.
Suns take any power forward/center
Wolves take MURRAY. That's what I want to see.
Pelicans take PG Dunn

Boston will draft the Croatian big man. Phoenix will likely draft Jaylen Brown because they already have a ton of guards as it is. You have to think that Murray is going to end up in Minnesota, which would be a great fit.

Nonsense. Boston has a lot of guards, they don't have much in the way of quality scoring other than Thomas. Bradley and Smart are decent role players, they aren't the type of players you want playing starters type minutes if you want to be a legitimate contender.

Murray doesn't make sense in Minnesota unless he proves he can be an actual PG. They already have Lavine at SG. They need a better option at PG than Rubio though.

Alas, If you have a lottery pick you take the best available player. Talent acquisition is the top priority, unless you need just one chip to vault into legitimate contender territory. If said player doesn't fit then you can figure it out later.

76ers just keep on tanking and now get 1st pick. They implemented the lotto to discourage outright tanking but it doesn't phase the Sixers. They should just make all non-playoff teams have equal odds in the lotto.

Rubio is good enough. They do need better shooting. I think it is hiliarious that every year the 76ers get the top pick there is NOT a sure fire franchise player, like a Towns or Davis or even a Wall.

Dude can't shoot. Not just threes, he's awful from every distance. haven't seen a Wolves game in years, wouldn't shock me if teams are sticking their worst perimeter defender on him though or resting their star perimeter player on defense by sticking him on Rubio. He's that bad at scoring. He's not the PG you want as a starter on a championship caliber team.

Oh how the balance of the NBA has shifted. Boston and Los Angeles, the two most storied franchises in the NBA, picking 2/3 in the draft. I want to the see Boston return to the glory days but I hope LA continues to suck for a long time. ( no offense to J. Randle)..

Boston has a top 3 pick because Danny Ainge took the Nets front office to the cleaners in thr Garnett/Peirce trade. They got the #17 pick in the 2014 draft (didn't turn out good though), #3 pick in this years draft, the right to swap first rounders with the Nets in next years draft (probably a no brainer) and the Nets 1st round pick in the 2018 draft...all unprotected.

Some people are just born stupid. Some have to work at it and succeed. You can pick which you are.

Please sixers draft Simmons. I want to see my Lakers take Ingram. Sign white side and Harrison barnes and demar derozen. A line up of russell, derozen, ingram, randell and Whiteside would be pretty good. With barnes providing shooting off the bench.
