The 2014 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[Microfracture]

Wiggins, Waiters and Irving really make no sense to me. So I see Irving leaving or Waiters getting traded if they go the Wiggins route, just makes no sense. If Wiggins is going to be the next Superstar Jordan-esque player, one of them nikkas got to go. I Understand Big 3's and all that, but they are honestly just best off drafting Embiid and not tryna be greedy. They waste all there picks anyway (if there is such a thing).

I'd like to see Parker or Wiggins in a Bucks uni, for the simple fact I think both of them have that KD mentality of being content in a small market for the long haul. Cleveland is too hot right now (post Lebron, Bennett, and rigged draft picks) and all that white noise might throw off there growth. Let them go somewhere quiet that suits there boring ass personalities, so they can have there little dunk highlights on SC and bubble quietly.

I think the thing with this draft order is, alot of teams tanked so they ended up getting slots where they could end up drafting the same type of players again... Embiid and Nerlens Noel really dont need to be on the same team. Neither do MCW and Parker, I just don't see championship nucleus' being formed there. Wherever these young nikkas go, sooner or later mufukkas gon start getting traded and these franchises are known for messes. Organizations can make or break careers.

nikkas shoulda just let LA get that #1 even tho I hate the Lakers, they were due for it. It was what's best for business.

None of this has anything to do with on the court. You're talking about the NBA like it's a TV show if you want to see this or you want to see that.

Sacramento Kings willing to trade No. 8 pick in 2014 NBA Draft, per report

Just a few minutes after the Sacramento Kings won the rights to the No. 8 selection in the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery, they've announced they're looking to trade it. Sacramento would rather pursue a veteran than try to develop talent at the No. 8 spot, according to a tweet from NBA.com's Scott Howard-Cooper.

The Kings went just 28-54 this season, and have plenty of young prospects in Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and DeMarcus Cousins. Sacramento doesn't have many good contracts to trade, although they do have expiring deals in Reggie Evans and Jason Terry.

This may change what happens with Terry, who decided to rehab his knee in Dallas for the remainder of the season after being traded to the Kings at the deadline in February. Terry could end up as an additional piece to make salaries work in a trade. There's also the less likely chance he joins the team should they add another veteran presence that vaults them into contention in the West.

In any case, some movement should be expected come draft day. Sacramento is apparently just the first on the board.

@2pac_Westside Thoughts?

Bulls could swing Taj to Sacramento for the 8th pick

Then flip the 8th pick, 19th pick and rights to Mirotic to the Wolves for Love

@tremonthustler1 @GoldenGlove drop some thoughts.

Bulls could then amnesty Boozer and have capspace to still sign a wing (Lance, etc.,)

I actually brought this up with @KingsnBucs1987 when I first heard they were shopping that pick.

He even proposed a trade that wouldn't even be bad if the Bulls can't get Melo. Taj/Butler for the 8th Pick and Rudy Gay. I'd be cool with that if they know that Melo isn't coming, the only thing is, the draft is before FA starts

I don't know what they could get but I'd think they may be able to put a package together for a better pg to feed Cuz and Rudy.

Wouldn't a potential Taj/Cousins front court be better than that though? And if that's the case, why not just draft the best PG available at 8 and keep it moving?

I'd do that if I'm the Kings. Taj is a starting quality PF and would improve their defense, toughness etc
