    I think you should be good. They're reportedly leaning hard towards Simmons, I myself would rather have Ingram though honestly. Simmons is has this superstar stigma to him and I don't want to have to deal with off-court bs from him.

    How come the NBA Draft Lottery don't give us a top pick, man?

    1. Philadelphia 76ers (10–72, 25% chance to win)
    The 76ers actually have a 26.9% chance to win, because they hold the right to swap picks with the Kings.

    2. Los Angeles Lakers (17–65, 19.9% chance)
    If the Lakers’ selection falls outside the top three, it goes to the 76ers, via the Suns. This would require two teams to leapfrog ahead of them.

    3. Boston Celtics (via the Brooklyn Nets, who went 21–61, 15.6% chance)
    The Nets sent their pick to the Celtics in a 2013 trade, which brought back Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, among others.

    4. Phoenix Suns (23–59, 11.9% chance)

    5. Minnesota Timberwolves (29–53, 8.8% chance)

    6. New Orleans Pelicans (30–52, 6.3% chance)

    7. Denver Nuggets OR Toronto Raptors (via the New York Knicks, who went 32–50 for a 4.3% chance)
    Here’s where things get complicated: two separate trades have affected the status of this pick. A 2011 trade gives Denver the rights to swap first-round picks with New York and move up if the Knicks’ selection is higher. BUT, the Knicks made another trade in 2013 to acquire Andrea Bargnani from the Raptors, and sent this year’s first-rounder to Toronto. In a nutshell: the Raptors will receive whichever of the Nuggets’ and Knicks’ picks is lower. The Nuggets have the ninth-best odds to win.

    8. Sacramento Kings (33–49, 1.9% chance)
    Through past trades, this pick can go to Chicago (via Cleveland) IF it falls outside the top ten. This unlikely scenario would require three teams with worse odds than the Kings to leapfrog into the top three, moving the Kings down to No. 11. Note: If the Kings jump into the top three and finish ahead of the 76ers, Philadelphia holds the right to swap picks, so Sacramento will not receive the No. 1 pick even if it wins.

    9. Denver Nuggets (33–49, 1.9% chance)
    As mentioned above, if the Nuggets swap upward for the Knicks’ pick, this pick will go to Toronto. If the Nuggets jump the Knicks in the draft, then the Knicks’ pick goes to the Raptors instead.

    10. Milwaukee Bucks (33–49, 1.8% chance)

    11. Orlando Magic (35–47, 0.8% chance)

    12. Utah Jazz (40–42, 0.7% chance)

    13. Washington Wizards (41–41, 0.6% chance)
    Barring a leap into the top three, this pick will go to the Phoenix Suns as part of this season’s Markieff Morris trade.

    14. Chicago Bulls (42–40, 0.5% chance)

    @NBAsxn here's an up to date look at pick rights/swaps that you may see tonight.

    Best case scenario for the Bulls is jumping into the top 10 while the Kings drop out so we end up with 2 great picks.

    Hard to say until after free agency and the draft, but I do think last year's roster was better than their record showed so I'd give them another 10-15 wins alone just based off getting rid of Byron Scott and also the young guys developing a bit. Now another 10-15 wins still won't put them anywhere near the playoffs, but maybe if they keep their pick and add another FA or 2, they can compete for a spot.

    It's really hard to say cuz we don't know how good the 4-5 young guys will be once they reach their potential, but my guess is it'd still be a lottery pick if you get it next year.

    Can't wait to finally see what happens with the pick tonight, excited but nervous as well. The whole Lakers season comes down to this one moment really lol.

    Yea the Cavs used that pick to clear cap for Lebron, they sent the C's that pick and Zeller for some Euro trash(from the nets) I believe. Then the Celtics flipped that pick for Isaiah Thomas lol...

    I haven't followed the mock drafts much this year but I'll try to get acquainted on the new talent pool when the draft comes closer.
