i'm so nervous.

[Rome]

I'm hoping the Sixers get it even over Orlando

You're welcome in advance.

[QB Eagles]

Most of all, I want that Lakers pick.

[phattymatty]

Sac getting #1 and swapping the pick would be awesome. And yeah LA would be nice this year but I'm OK with a Lakers top pick next year also.

[ice grillin you]

yeah the lakers pick is the least important thing this year....it goes without saying that the number one thing is to get fultz ie the number one overall pick....next is to not drop from four

anything after that would be a bonus

in other words for me id easily rather have fultz than any two other lottery spots

[MDS]

they so much better odds of getting 2 picks than getting the 1

getting the 1 is basically impossible for them

[ice grillin you]

its not even close to impossible....the flyers moving up to two was impossible...tonight its like a 7-1 odds...unlikely obviously but its realistic..they have more or less the same odds as the lakers of getting it

[MDS]

what time is the real lotto drawing...i think its like 1-2 hours before the made for tv stuff

[ice grillin you]

830 is the show....so probably 850ish

[phattymatty]

no I think he means when do they actually fake picking the balls? do they even pretend to do it like the lottery with real balls anymore or do they just automate it?


serious question though, i don;t remember from past drafts...saying the lakers pick is 4 and conveys...will it show immediately the lakers logo or the sixers?

[ice grillin you]

for tv purposes the balls were replaced with the cards long ago

as for when the cards are unveiled my guess is it will be begin around 845-850

14 - meaningless
13 - meaningless
12 - meaningless
11 - meaningless
10 - virtually no chance of it happening but dont want to see sacramento here
9 - dont want to see sacramento here
8 - if sacramento still hasnt shown and doesnt show here then they made the top 3
7 - lowest the sixers can pick, please god no
6 - first chance to see the lakers and mos def dont want to see the sixers here
5 - best chance to see the lakers outside of the top 3 (pray), dont want to see the sixers
4 - last chance for the lakers pick but a legit chance, please no sixers

by the time they get here all of the above will have explained how meaningful the top 3 is
