Something about the draft process makes me uneasy in a people as property kind of way. Unfortunately I can't think of a better alternative.

There's no good reason rookies can't be free agents.
You should check out the artistry of legal arguments that allow these entertainment exhibitions to go outside of commerce for purposes of anti-trust law. Or something. It's like Vogon poetry.

No power in CT so will be following draft action here.

And with 4 kids and no power, I now know why Pilgrims accused people of witchcraft. It was so they had some form of entertainment and escape from their children.

You'll have another data point on why they accused people of witchcraft when you lose your sanity and wonder why your mind doesn't work correctly.

26th try to get the 2nd choice. Philadelphia got #1 on the 13th try.

I don't care. We're rolling with house money here.

I know first world problems and all that but ESPN holding the draft lottery hostage to shovel this shit content is disgusting and I can’t wait until they go bankrupt

Why can't every commissioner be like Silver. Ugh. He's certainly not perfect, but he's light-years ahead of the others

Wow. Did Adam Silver just say that integrity is paramount regarding potential sports betting happening, and hen saying they’d have to review “how referees are assigned?”

I mean, there should be no correlation to those two things, but he put it out there

I want the Brooklyn pick to be after the Celtics pick so badly, but I'd settle for neither one moving up as a consolation prize. My personal giant tootsie roll. .

I don’t care if Brooklyn pick goes #1. LeBron is leaving anyway.

Nightmare scenario is Lakers pick #1 this year and Kings #1 next year. Hen we only get a late 20s 2019 pick for dropping from 1 to 3 last year

I guess the most charitable interpretation of that is making it impossible to know assignments in advance - not because they each have unique biases and tendencies - but so that bad actors don’t know who to lean on / entice / threaten?

I literally don't understand any of the nuances to what's going on and am on the edge of my seat waiting for you guys to tell me if something happened.

It's oddly compelling. I think it's the first time I understood a blind friend of mine's love of NHL hockey.

Obviously that would be really bad, but if Ainge is to be believed literally any pick the Cs get is gravy. They got Tatum at 3 instead of Tatum at 1 and got to save a little money with basically no risk that they wouldn't get their guy.
