Kings jumped up? Bad news for next year's pick
Thinking the same thing.

Eh...they always find a way to suck. Not worried about it.

The way I see it now, only two things happen for Cleveland.

1. Lebron leaves them and they KEEP the pick (#8)

2. Cavaliers trade the pick + pieces to acquire another star to pair with Lebron (and Love?)

I don't think there's a scenario where they keep Lebron AND the pick. Don't think Bron Bron wants to bring in a young prospect when he wants to "win now". He'll want that pick traded for some star.

OR... if CLE wins it all, then maybe it doesn't matter lol

Poor Memphis.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Oh well it was a pipe dream anyway... time to start the Kings thread
is the Kings pick unprotected?

Only for the overall #1 overall pick.  If that happens, we get two second rounders which would be horrible.

That's not true. We get the better of the Philly/Kings picks, unless the better pick is #1, in which case we get the worse pick
I'm bitter.

No, the idea is that they’ll be better next year and thus our pick will be worse.

I don't see the #8 pick plus any of the junk they have on the roster getting them a star.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Hawks, Kings, and Suns.. Hmm...

Suns would benefit from the first pick. Ayton would be their missing piece. Hawks desperately need either Doncic or Bagley.
