Less than 48 hrs til the draft order is set. Place your bets!

Who gets the top 3 picks? 

If you believe its rigged, who gets the pivks and why?

 If it’s rigged, please rig it for Detroit… We need some luck.

i will go with:

1 – Dallas

2 – Orlando

3 – Phoenix

I’m not a subscriber to the rigged conspiracy but if Cleveland and New York go 1-2 there will be some questions asked!

 They Never "Tanked" the entire season – won 2 of their 3 last games – gave red hot Phila all they could handle 2X in the closing weeks of the season during the Sixers 16 game win streak – I’m talking about absolute Dog Fights! 

Atlanta did Not sit a healthy player ALL season – Never once pulled a player b/c they were trying to lose – the way Memphis did against Utah sitting Marc Gasol the Entire 4th Qtr after he Roasted Gobert for 28 pts thru 3 Qrts

Other teams like Chicago & Sacramento played hard all year & really Developed young Talent

Some of the other teams flat out Pulled healthy players having big games in order to lose on purpose 

So I would like to see the teams that played to win w/ limited resources get rewareded 

1. Atlanta Hawks 

2. Sacramento Kings 

3. Chicago Bulls

 For the record id like to see the Lakers pick go to Philly at #1, Detroit gets its pick back and goes #2 and then the Kings at #3 to see what type of horrendous mistake they make

[Evan_MilbergParticipant]

Given that the past three years have seen the team with the highest odds actually landing the 1st pick (before trades, etc.), I’d guess Phoenix gets it this year. I could easily see the NBA wanting to rig it for them too considering Ayton went to Arizona, Bagley is from Tempe, and Doncic previously played for their new head coach. 

As for the rest of the top 3, I don’t see any huge jumps happening. Maybe Memphis gets bounced from the top 3 in favor of Atlanta or Orlando, but I think any doubt that it’s rigged would be dispelled if Cleveland or Philly ended up with ANOTHER top 3 pick.

 Boston has a 3-4% chance to get the 2nd or 3rd pick but DAMN I goy my fingers crossed. Can you  imagine if Boston strikes gold????

[SmooveKRYPTParticipant]

1. Phoenix

2. Memphis

3. Boston – They’ve overcome the odds all year long. It would only be fitting for that to happen one more time.

 1- Phoenix they really need that number 1 pick  and I don’t remember the last time they had one. Plus I don’t want them to waste Bookers prime or see him walk due to them not maximising his prime.

2- Dallas- I want them to have something to at least make Dirks send off not to be to painful and that Rick C to have some actual NBA talent to coach/develop.

3-Chicago- They have developed their youth and they at least tried to give it a shot in most games so they could be the one that this pick if used right could spin the ship back in the right direction.

4- Atlanta- Blantly tanking now especially with Mike B being let go. So I kind of don’t want them to get a top 3 pick.

5-Orlando- Hopefully they could use this pick wisely and at least start turning the corner.

But most likely it will go something like this:

1-Dallas

2-Suns

3- Hawks or Grizzlies(who ever isn’t 3rd gets 4th)

4 Hawks or Grizzlies(who ever isn’t 3rd gets 4th)

5- Kings
