Last night was the NBA Draft Lottery. The Lottery went chalk
with the exception of one team. However that teams success with the Ping Pong
balls had a huge negative effect on Detroit.
Cleveland Cavaliers- Winner
Cleveland ruined it for everybody. Cleveland is awful. I
hate Cleveland. Yesterday, I said that there was no way that Cleveland would
win. And they have the number one pick.
This helps them in obvious ways. They’ll get their choice of
player in a completely loaded draft. Do they want to draft another Canadian SF
in Wiggins? Would they prefer the injury risk in Joel Embiid? How would they
feel about the Chicago native Jabari Parker? Of course, with that being said...
Player that gets drafted by the Cavaliers – Loser
On general principle. Although he'll get to hang out with Johnny Football and have Sports Illustrated covers together discussing the rebirth of Cleveland sports.
Lebron: Back to the Cavs - Winner
For those who believe that there’s more than a
snowball’s chance in hell of Lebron coming back to Ohio, last night was a
success. The theory is that Lebron opts out of his contract and goes to
Cleveland because they suddenly have an influx of talent. On one hand, Irving +
Waiters + Deng? + Embiid/Parker/Wiggins might be better than what LeBron left
in his last year in Cleveland. On the other hand, are you going to be the one
to tell Lebron’s kids that they’re moving from Miami to Ohio. How about his
wife? Maybe you could show them a hastily made tourism video?
DE-TROIT BAS-KET-BALL – Loser
There may not have been a bigger loser than Detroit last
night. They had a 1-8 protected pick. They may have tanked near the end of the
season to drop down to 8th overall. Their reward? The Cavaliers
jumped ahead of them resulting in Detroit getting the number nine pick. That
meant that Detroit lost their protection and the pick went to Charlotte.
Phoenix Schaudenfrueude - Loser
If Phoenix got the number one pick, the Suns would have
jumped ahead of the Timberwolves, giving them Minnesota’s pick. Unfortunately,
it went chalk and The Suns stayed in their position
Denver Nuggets - Loser
They had two options for getting a top 3 pick, and instead they
left with nothing. The New York Knicks were losers on general principle
Philadelphia 76ers – Winner.
Sure they didn’t win the draft, but they still get the
number 3 pick and the number 10 from New Orleans. They should have the number one pick from last
year and the reigning Rookie of the Year. That's 4 young trade chips players for the team to utilize
Parker to the Utah Jazz theory - Loser
Well, that was fun. The Jazz have now gone to 5th
overall pick. They are out of the Parker
sweepstakes barring a trade.
Kevin Love Trade Rumors – Loser (for now)
Well this would have made for great conversation if the
Celtics or Lakers won the lottery. Newsflash. Love isn't going to Cleveland. Probably won't go to Milwaukee either. Philadelphia is an interesting option though. Especially since Nerlins Noel is the type of center you'd need to pair with Love at PF and Philadelphia has two first round picks to trade.
Mallory Eden (Daughter of the Milwaukee Bucks Owner)- Winner
Because Twitter said so.
Anjali Ranadive (Daughter of the Sacramento Kings Owner)- Loser
All the attention went to the Bucks owner’s daughter. Meanwhile we have Anjali Ranadive, the
daughter of the owner of the Kings. She went to UC Berkley and has a song with
French Montana. She's also older than 18. She's a winner in my book. Of course, her team didn't get a top 3 pick, so I guess she lost the night.
