fish7718 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 haha the Nets franchise is [expletive]ed for a few years at least, if D Will doesn't come back they are going to have to over pay brook just to pair him with brooks and now no pick. D Will better at least get signed and traded if they lose him. Lol @ New Orleans getting the first pick. Poor Charlotte, just missed, at least they get a nice pick.

Built Ford Tough Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 C: Emeka OkaforPF: Anthony DavisSF: Trevor ArizaSG: Eric GordonPG: Kendall Marshall is that a playoff team next year? Regardless, that is a very nice core to build around. Team is going to be very good if Gordon stays and his knees don't fail him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Damn the Hornets would be set for the future if that happens. They are set for the future regardless as far as I am concerned. I really don't see a scenario where they don't end up with one of Marshall or Lillard. Either way, they are coming out golden. I just threw Marshall's name out there instead of Lillard's because I think his playmaking would be a better fit for guys like Davis, Gordon, Ariza and Okafor. Either way they come out looking absolutely fantastic, assuming they re-sign Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 They need Eric Gordon to come back at a reasonable price, if that happens, life after CP3 looks bright... If they get Gordon back, do they have the brightest future in the league? You can't overlook OKC but in terms of non playoff teams, I think they would have easily the brightest.

reno Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 NBA owned the Hornets all season, nixed the Paul trade to the Lakers.... then sold the team and low and behold -- they win the draft lottery. Â Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Do you know how the lottery is run? There are representatives from all 14 teams in the room as well as an independent auditor watching them run the lottery. If the NBA were to rig the lottery for the Hornets, all other 13 people in the room would have to be in on the fix.  I fully admit to believing in the conspiracy about how the lottery is rigged, but looking at it rationally, there really is no way that the league would be able to get away with it based on how the lottery is run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 its a private draft, unless i see it i don't believe it. It isn't private. There are at least 20 people in the room including GM's, journalists and auditors.  For instance, Raptors beat writer Doug Smith was representing the Raptors in the drawing last year. The Raptors fell from 3rd to 5th and saw Cleveland jump from 8th to 1st. If the lottery was rigged, why would he keep quiet about that? He also came out and said it would be impossible for the league to rig the lottery as long as they continue to run it that way. But there really is no point in arguing if you are going to take that stance, though. If you don't see it, it is rigged. Fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
