JRGoldman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 McMillan's teams always generated and took a huge number of threes, way before it was in fashion. I wouldn't be surprised if he has more modern ideas that a lot of people realize. Im in not sure it's the greatest hire considering who he is replacing, but McMillan got really screwed with such bad luck in Portland. He deserves another shot, and he's proven he can maximize a star at every job he's had. I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 As I called back in January, the Heat are now unsure if Chris Bosh is ever going to play again. If he retires, insurance pays some of the money, and his salary *MAY* come off the cap retroactively to when he stopped playing.

Death From Above Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I just became aware that the Raptors have the Knicks first round pick this year as part of the Andrea Bargnani trade three years ago and even as a basketball ignoramous I can't stop laughing.

Rocco Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Whats the deal with Kings and Raptors not being able to win the lottery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Rocco said: Whats the deal with Kings and Raptors not being able to win the lottery? Kings gave the Sixers the right to swap picks in a trade. So if they hit on the top pick Sixers are taking it. Same thing with the Raptors since they own the Knicks pick. Denver can swap with the Knicks. If neither team moves that is already happening. Knicks have the 7th slot and Denver 9th so Raptors would be picking 9th with the Denver's pick. The Sixers pick is high enough that if that happened the Kings would still end up in a better position. For that to happen for the Raptors both the Knicks pick and Denver pick has to jump into the top 3. The odds of that happening is very slim. Best Raptors could do is getting the 2nd pick with Denver getting the first pick. The odds of that is .0017% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Huge night for the Raptors. And even bigger if they can improve on picking 9th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 With all this drama, I want a team that would pick at the bottom to jump up to number one SO bad, if its the Jazz, all the better. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened with the Bulls when they snagged D Rose. I don't remember exactly, but it was somewhere around a 1% chance. Maybe Stern rigged that one though...

RIPPA Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 As someone pointed out on the radio - this would be the most Wizards like scenario if this was the year they got the miracle #1 pick since it really is a very meh draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So does this mean the Sixers will actually try to win games now? Or they need another 2 or 3 years of tanking to be productive. Not sure if Simmons the person is the guy to build your team around but the player I can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I hadn't seen in all the lottery odds posts and sites were the odds of no changes at all. 8 minutes ago, hammerva said: So does this mean the Sixers will actually try to win games now?

It has been known for years it is coming as well. Go look at the picks that were traded in 2017 compared to other seasons. Teams haven't been moving them. Anyone with a bad team next year won't be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 One notable thing is that Billy King avoided the infamy of being the biggest failure of a GM in NBA history as the Celtics "only" end up with the 3rd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
