RIPPA Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Probably the most important thing to note out of the Bobcats to Hornets announcement today Whitfield also announced that, in collaboration with the NBA and the Pelicans, all the statistical information, records and history of Charlotte NBA basketball will be restored to the franchise. That means the Hornets will now own and have access to all the historical elements from the recent Bobcats era (2004-14) as well as the original Hornets teams that played in Charlotte -- including stats from stars such as Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and Muggsy Bogues. All Hornets records from their years in New Orleans will revert to the Pelicans' history, Whitfield said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Pulling Nick Gilbert from the draft lottery is a huge mistake for the Cavs. DON'T MESS WITH THE ONE THING YOU WIN AT. Edit: Or not. This IS the only thing Cleveland ever succeeds at, after all. Also, when did Rob Ford eat Pat Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Watch them blow it somehow. Nothing personal against Abid(though its going to sound that way), but Cleveland deserves him to be Oden 2.0 . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mco543 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If last year's choice is an indication, Cleveland is going to ruin Utah's hopes and dreams by taking McDermott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Now I just need to hope Embiid goes first or second. Parker or Wiggins would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Watch them blow it somehow. Nothing personal against Abid(though its going to sound that way), but Cleveland deserves him to be Oden 2.0 . . . I assume you mean Embiid, but why exactly are you wishing career failure and injury upon an 18 year old? Because Cleveland got lucky? Being from Buffalo, I assumed you would understand what a teeth kicking it is to leave in that part of the country. Let us be happy for a minute.

AlfredoE Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 YOU OKAY BRIAN FOWLER!!!! That sucks! The Cavs get the top pick again, but those are the breaks. Hopefully, they get it right this time. I think they take Jabari Parker. Embiid's back hurt him during the lottery. sydneybrown and I already settled in on Marcus Smart, so we'll just stick with that. Although, I could see Aaron Gordon as a possible option for the Lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Cleveland clearly has better luck with ping pong balls than basketballs. Perhaps we can relocate the city to spot outside of Beijing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogwelder Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I wonder if the NBA will change the lottery system to be like the NHL's. From ESPN: This is the fourth straight year the Cavs have a lottery pick. Four of their last six first round picks have been in the top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If there was ever a time to announce the lottery wheel, this is it. Seriously, this is just ridiculous and if the Cavs aren't a contender in the next two years then they might be the most horribly mismanaged team of the past twenty years.

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Leave Brian alone! Can't you see he's in pain! The agony! The anguish! The no top pick in a deep draft! No fair, no fair! How does Cleveland get so lucky, just to screw it up so badly year after year? Look, Mistake by the Lake: LeBron is gone, and he's not coming back unless for it's for a final-year good-bye tour when he's 40. He escaped your factory of sadness and you think he'll come running back with all your glorious draft picks. Yeah. Anthony Bennett just sends tingles down LeBron's spine. He's sure to be back in your Comic Sans writing arms this summer! Cleveland has no ground on which to stand when it comes to LeBron leaving. They've been gifted multiple chances to rebuild, and they wet themselves like newborns every time. That level of ineptitude takes talent. I'll be attending to Brian's wounds now. He said his stomach hurts. It should, considering he stabbed himself while running with scissors turned inward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
