We’re 4 games out of having the 5th best odds to get Wemby.

We can easily get there and I can’t believe how skillfully Griff and Willie have made this happen without our fans or team even realizing the mastermind of a plan. Even I have to admit, this is one of the smoothest under the radar tanks ever seen.

If LeBron is out for the season, there's a chance the Pels could have just as good odds at the top pick as some of the worst teams.

If pels and lakers end up in the lottery, when do we get to choose which pick we want? Do we get to wait until after draft order is determined?

I would think it’s definitely after the order is known.

Would be nice if both were in the lottery.

Doesnt even matter, Josh Richardson and Herb would play over Michael Jordan himself if we drafted him

No it wouldn't--we want to give them a pick in the high 20s and take their top 5 pick.

I want them the best chance at Wemby or Scoot… and that’s what two lottery slots would give us.

Yeah that was a big time move getting Richardson. Game changer and props for realizing that the Pels already had the perfect mix of players to make a run

it’s not a choice. if our pick is better, we keep it. if their pick is better, we swap for it

Anyone who think the NBA would allow Wemby to go to New Orleans is a fool.

Agreed but was it really the right one though? How many playoff wins have Street Clothes 1 and 2 played in for the Pels?

Doesn't matter. Saying the NBA won't allow it when it's happened not once but twice in recent years nullifies the argument that was made.

I’m not sure I’m ready for another once in a generation prospect with a body type the nba hasn’t seen before.

Right?!?! No way Wemby’s body holds up, but you also can’t be the team to pass on him either.

I'd say it would.

If they can choose to swap after the picks are drawn, you effectively add the % of each's chance together. I'd rather have double the shot at high picks than stick it to the Lakers.

We going to have Zion live with him for a few months. Either Wemby puts on 75lbs or Zion loses 45lbs. Win win. Or Zion may just eat Wimby.
