I think they need to change the lottery but not get ride of it

Here's what I would do if I was in charge:
- A team can't be in the lottery more than three years in a row
- You can trade your lottery pick in the 4th year and the team you trade the pick to can still be in the lottery but you can't, so if you land the 1st overall pick in the 4th year, you get knocked down to the 16th pick OR you can trade the 1st overall pick to another team for players

That would force a team like Detroit to get more creative in their team-building strategy, they would be forced to make trades, sign guys in free agency etc. in order to build out a proper roster

That's my take

How do you have that many lottery picks and miss on every single one...? lol the entire front office should be fired...holt shit man lol

I feel for Detroit fans, that would be rough!

Pat Bev is a 35-year-old man who thinks fighting is cool...that should tell you everything you need to know lol

I'm not a T-Wolves fan so I have no skin in the game but Pat Bev is annoying, and I swear he calls someone new out every single week...the dude must be one of the least-liked players in the NBA right now lol

Man, you're cooked...you average 2ppg, stop acting like we care what you think...you're not tough, you just have a big mouth

 

Obviously, it's still very early in their careers and this could change BUT for fun, how do you think a Re-draft would go?

My list:

  1. Pistons - Scottie Barnes
  2. Rockets - Evan Mobley
  3. Cavaliers - Franz Wagner
  4. Raptors - Cade Cunningham
  5. Magic - Alperen Segun
  6. Thunder - Trey Murphy
  7. Warriors - Josh Giddey
  8. Magic - Jalen Green
  9. Pelicans - Herbert Jones
  10. Hornets - Austin Reaves

I'd love to hear everyone's input, what do you think the trajectory of these players is and what would your list look like?

 

Some Scottie Propaganda

Most Steals + Blocks this season:

  1. Scottie Barnes — 36
  2. Victor Wembanyama — 35
  3. Anthony Davis — 34
  4. Ausar Thompson — 34
  5. Chet Holmgren — 32

I'd also like to add how insane it is that 4 of the top 5 players leading the league in steal + blocks are under the age of 22 lol this next generation of stars are defensive monsters!

How is that an off-night??? LOL

He had 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 14 points AND 4 steals and 2 blocks... LOL

Got to love this sub...if a player doesn't score over 20ppg it's an off night...lol that stat line is pretty damn impress, especially on the defensive end

[–] Kevita24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Barnes is developing into what Ben Simmons was suppose to become lol

[–] Kevita24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, Scottie, Cade, Mobley, Franz, and Giddey all look like they're going to develop into All-Stars...Jalen Suggs and Jalen Green look like they might end up being "busts" unfortunately...the Jury is still out on Kuminga but I think he's going to end up being really good once he develops more

 

Through the first three games he's averaging:

21 points, 6.6 assists, 8.6 rebounds, 3 Blocks

Had a triple-triple last night as well

He clearly looks better this season, more confident, his offensive game looks more polished, and his defense has looked elite thus far, very nice to see after having a bit of a sophomore slump last season...it will be interesting to see if he and Siakam can co-exist in that offense

IQ and work ethic are extremely underrated predictors of a basketball player's success and athletics/physical abilities are vastly overrated...how many "freak athletes" have we seen flop? there are literally dozens of examples... how many "unathletic" players plummeted in the draft only to become All-Stars and Super Stars?

Jokic

His game is so awkward, he looks like a Serbian construction worker who plays beer league ball on the weekends...lol half his shots don't look like they should go in and he's probably the least athletic person on the court on most nights BUT somehow he's the best player in the world which makes him more likable
