Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

[loveofthegame916]

Why is it that the Kings cant get any love?

We haven't had a #1 pick since 1989 and we've been in the draft lottery 16 times since then

Better yet, we've only had the #1 pick THREE times in franchise history?

What part of the game is that?

I hope davis gets rid of that uni-brow before draft day photos

 

[al3xis]

Anthony Davis might even end up even better than advertised.
Personally, I'm hoping for a Davis/Monroe pairing or Davis/Wall. 

 

[ag 47]

Davis/Irving

So you're saying that you want to never, ever, ever be able to go against UK in recruiting and win?

stern will def. make sure nets get 1st pick.

 

[pmatic]

1. Bobcats
2. Cavaliers
3. Wizards

Stern owes MJ too much at this point.

This man knows

.

I'm going to be pissed if the Nets get the #1. I'll than know FOR SURE, 100% that Stern has his hands in this. It's all reminiscent of when the Knicks got Ewing..

wow.

 

[ballinsam23]

1. Bobcats
2. Nets
3. Kings

 

[big j 33]

Bobcats
Hornets
Wizards

Off topic...

I still think about if the Sixers had gotten the first pick in 2010...how awkward that would been for Jrue Holiday who was their rep at the lottery.

I would actually go to Cavs games to watch the Cavs, not the other team.

. I'd like to see him paired with either Kyrie or Wall.

 

[denni5themenace]

I say this every year but they should have the lottery numbers conducted LIVE. not some in the back behind closed doors BS

Now on the other hand if he goes to CLE,with kyrie running point, then he might just live up to some of the hype, but then again, Irving can prolly do that with about 3-4 dudes in this draft.

been saying hes gonna be a bust.


i really hope Pistons can get a top 5 pick, id cry

but knowin how this crap works we will probably slip down from the 9th pick

 

[|A-Man|]

The idea of Stern giving it to the Nets now given the circumstances appeals more to me believing this is rigged but I'm going to stick with the Hornets getting the #1 pick if I'm wrong they still get 2nd.

 

[ag 47]

I'd bet money Charlotte doesn't get it. How often does the worse team actually get the first pick?

 

[Retroballer]

Kings
Bobcats
Cavs

my guess. The kings need some kind of jump start for an arena

 

[antidope]

Brooklyns going to win the lottery and the Illuminati conspiracy theories will be right behind it.
I also think that Davis is going to be a bust, I just dont see it.
