I really hope that a Western Conference team wins the Lottery, and that two Western Conference teams get the top two picks. I hope Miami doesn't get the 1st or 2nd pick, especially because it seemed like they were tanking, and I hope they don't get rewarded for that. I would be happy though for Memphis if they were to get either the 1st or 2nd pick, especially since we know they got robbed in the Gasol trade.

Damn, Chicago moved up and will get a top 3 pick. Hopefully Minny gets the #1 pick, then I guess I hope Chcago gets the #2 pick over Miami.

Frozen envelope anybody!!! Chicago jumped 8 ****ing spots!! Unbelievable. I would be shocked to all hell if they didnt go after Derrick Rose.

I know. How did that happen??? :banghead: I agree, I think they'll go with Rose. Then Beasley is going to Miami. :banghead: Why couldn't Minny get either the 1st or 2nd pick, so not both Rose and Beasley will be in the East. :banghead:

I think Chicago oughtta take Beasley. Hinrich and Duhon are serviceable enough. How's this: Hinrich, Hughes/Gordon, Deng, Beasley with T. Thomas as backup. Scary.

But man, Miami: a lethal 1-2-3 with Rose, D-Wade, Marion. Yikes.
