of course they messed up but thye ddint pass up any franchise talent they got unlucky that some of those drafts were legendarily bad which is why you saw some weird picks they didnt love anyone they were just forced to make a pick

I hope Lebron doesnt go back to Cleveland... fukk that sorry ass city. Certainly seems like Silver is trynna push the scenario though
In 1996 raptors should have had the first pick or grizzlies but thet weren't alllwd
Orlando made out like KIngs.
Got Shaq then C.Webb flipped him for another pick and Penny Hardaway.

What, the top 5 thing?
So to recap, you think the same team getting several #1 picks in a short time span is a problem, and your solution is to give teams a much better chance of getting the top pick every year than they do currently? Especially for an inept franchise like Cleveland.
Clearly you need to actually think about this a little bit more.

Imma be cheering if Lebron stays with Miami tbh

lol true but they werent getting anything for that pick anyway nobody wanted it no matter how low the price was becasue it will go down as literally the worst draft ever

No, dont repeat yourself. Write something that makes sense this time.
Shut. The. fukk. Up. Shutthefukkup.
I love Al Horford. He's a great-if-unspactacular player. But you're talking about the Number 1 pick in the most loaded draft in a decade.
And you want the NUMBER 1.... AND ANOTHER PICK.
C'mon doggie. C'moooonnnnn Doggie. C'mon. Doggie.
If they want a big man, they could take Embiid (or take Parker/Wiggins), and have him on a 5-year rookie deal.... or they could take your deal, and get Horford for 2 years... and give up another first.
That only works if those people are the same ones saying this now. Otherwise it's just just a sweeping generalization. I can only speak for me, as I don't really track what other nikkas say, but I've been opposed to the idea of the lottery for years. I don't find the idea of "tanking" as this major travesty. If there's gonna be a best team there had to be a worst one add well. I don't see the big deal with giving them a top pick to help turn it around, if that's the goal.where's everyone who said don't reward the tankers? Give the teams that tried a shot?
Cleveland was the poster child for the change y'all wanted at the lotto. Now that they won y'all mad?

pretty much...
if the lakers had won it....half of these nikkas wouldnt be in here crying
Cleveland last year at the lottery "We don't want to be in the lottery next year, we are going to win"
Cleveland in the lottery this year "We just need our roster to fit. The end"

Condemning 3 #1 picks to Cleveland in the last 4 years is gonna hurt the league.
Those guys should be superstars coming into their own in the next few years. Instead, no one will give a fukk about them outside of this place
