Whatever. Maybe some day this team will get some lottery luck and eventually be leading the conference finals during the lottery. Oh shit wait.

The disappointment in here based on the percentages I was told suggest that we really are beginning into buy into the believe in Danny thing, huh?

There's no good reason rookies can't be free agents.
It is worth noting that the original argument for the draft (to let small markets compete) has been somewhat negated by both the salary cap and the globalization of media and marketing.

A blind auction system should work better for new players entering the league rather than "regular" free agency, though. Teams need to sign rookies before free agency for veterans begins, and the rookies need to enter into the league's various programs as a group.

There's a 2.9% chance of me leaving this bar with the cute brunette next to me, but it's nice to have a chance Rev

House money craps out for Boston, Philadelphia and Cleveland. Disappointment or Schadenfreude? I'll settle for both.

You don't see me here because I'm betting against it.

Something special is in the making here.

So do the Kings still suck to a large number of lottery balls even if they get #1-3? Can any of these guys transform a team right away?

So instead of that. Tell her you just texted your buddy about the cute brunette you’re sitting next to and the buddy said to ask her her name and how she finds herself here.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that this could very well be the worst broadcast of any show/event/game/anything that I've ever seen. I mean it is seriously and without question, just fucking awful television. I mean, WTF? There are a million shitty directions they could have gone for a half an hour, and they chose the worst possible one, whatever this is.

At least start chatting her up. Tell her you’re posting on an online Red Sox board about the NBA draft. She’ll know you’re cool.
Tell her you know Sprowl! And, uh, WBCD! WBCD does your law for you... and, uh...
