If The bobcats tried and kept Diaw they very well could not have gotten 13 more wins.

Or under the Mamba system ended up as 3rd worse, with less picks, worse contracts and less of a shot at the best players. They'd be shittier for longer becuase of it.

I'm not saying for them to get to be 2nd worse. Just that the product they'd put out wouldn't be so asstastic. They'd also be more willing to make a deal during the year, I bet.

You realize I haven't actually altered their odds much. Right now they won't get the 1st pick 75% of the time. Under my proposal, that is 88% of the time. And they'd still be guaranteed top 4...


I don't think people realize the worst pick having the best odds isn't that much of an advantage right now. Which is why my proposal only makes the odds a little bit worse but enough to go an incentive to win if you can.

Mamba is saying the Bobcats are an outlier. Obviously they deserve the #1 pick but usually the worst teams are about equal.

This too. If every 10 years a random Bobcats get screwed, so be it. What's the difference between 2nd and 6th worse this year? Not much.


Another thing they could do is give bottom 5 or bottom 6 equal odds at the top 3. Then 7-10 equal odds and 11-14 equal odds.

Surprised the Magic didn't get the 1:00 game. Obviously Ryan Anderson is a ratings bonanza.

I hate the idea of giving the worst team the top draft pick anyway. In fact, teams should be able to use cap space to buy draft picks. Stop rewarding horrible organizations with this commie bullshit.

Lakers wouldn't even have space for a high draft pick so it's not like it favors us.

[NawidA]

That's beyond idiotic. Why would any player want to go to a small market team?

They would go to the team they want to (taking into consideration money offered and location). This would of course shrink the league a bit (which I think is a good thing) but people want to be stars.

Why did the Blazers let go of Patty Mills?

[Canuck76]

I'm going to make the prediction that Jefferson might be too much for Duncan inside. I think he drops 25+ every game.

Blazers dropped Patty because he's a crappy 3pt shooter. We already have enough of those types of players

Didn't you get playoffs with your package? I did for around the same price.

Isn't she the "Social Media" reporter for the Suns now?

[ryutaro's mama]

The only way these teams can get better is if they change their names to the Los Angeles Lakers, and hope free agents fall for it. Either that or have Stern rig it for them like he did for the Bulls.

I like you.

they finally updated their mobile site. now you can see fga-fgm not just points. annoyed me to no end.

Since it's the Warriors, I bet they win the flip and Toronto wins one of the top three picks and bump the Warriors out of their pick anyway.

How ya feeling today, Seppy? da bears.

[Cloudy]

As long as he's not gone for the year, I think Metta's suspension could be a blessing in disguise. Regardless of his recent play, I've always felt that Metta doesn't fit in the starting lineup because he needs the ball and is a shaky shooter. Also, unless we're playing Miami or Boston, quick feet are more important than strength defensively (Didn't you see Durant just blowing by him off screens yesterday?) Ebanks knows his role and will just hustle and run the floor. With the big 3 and Ramon, we have too many guys who fancy themselves as scorers starting anyways. If he's only gone a few games, Metta would come off the bench the rest of the way assuming we advance. It's something Mike Brown should have done a long time ago IMO. Ebanks plays well with the starters and Ron can get better offensive opportunities off the bench.

My analysis is spot-on again...

[Herpes Reasons]

Bynum. Why isn't he getting more touches down low?

Denver misses Nene so much it's not even funny.
