Hawks (no lottery tomorrow)

But who do you want to get a top 3 pick?

I’d like it to go:

1. OKC

2. Rockets  

3. Wolves  

 

Who do you all want?

Here is the order for odds:

1. Houston Rockets (top-four protected, otherwise conveys to Thunder)
2. Detroit Pistons
3. Orlando Magic
4. Oklahoma City Thunder
5. Cleveland Cavaliers
6. Minnesota Timberwolves (top-three protected, otherwise conveys to Warriors)
7. Toronto Raptors
8. Chicago Bulls (top-four protected, otherwise conveys to Magic)
9. Sacramento Kings
10. New Orleans Pelicans
11. Charlotte Hornets
12. San Antonio Spurs
13. Indiana Pacers
14. Golden State Warriors

OKC #1 so, hopefully, they inexplicably make the playoffs and we get their 2022 first round pick, which will otherwise convert to two seconds.

Good call.

And they could end up with #1 and #5 possibly right?  that would be kind of cool.

West, west and more west. I’d love to see the west have the top 5 picks. At least the top 3.

Pretty happy how it shook out! You can't keep the East out of the Top-4, but our two Dirty South Division rivals came up short in the Lottery, including the Hornets, who jumped us last year, and the Magic. Orlando still gets two picks at 5&8 IIRC, but they likely can't package them to move up for the top-tier talents. If we hear of a whisper campaign denigrating the character of the consensus Top-4 picks, you can bet Jeff Weltman will be behind it.
