Good lord the Wizards have the worst luck.

5th. Ugggg. I would have bet my house that they'd end up with the 5th pick. It's their luck.

Man, I had my money ready for a gold and black Blake Griffin jersey. That sucks.

I think they're done with those atrocious things, but I feel your pain.

Ah, poop.

I gotta think we're looking to trade that pick. Maybe an international exchange for Bosh?

Smootsmack - this would be the first awesome if it happened - Bosh would be a nice piece to the puzzle and since he has already said he will not resign with Toronto that Raptors may as well get something for him now.

If not Bosh than maybe somehow someway they Wiz can pry Amare Stoudamire from the Suns, but Phoenix seems willing to try one more year to see if they can get going. Although with Amare his injury would be a big issue since Arenas is an unknown factor with injuries now.

The curse of Les Boulez. Damn.

I feel your pain, the Celtics have had the worst luck in the lottery it seems as well. I think the NBA lottery is just plain dumb to be honest.

I do too. I think the lottery should be the bottom 5 teams and they draw for the top spot only. Right now it really seems unfair how every year the worst teams don't get the top spots.

Oh yeah...we would be example #1 for not having the lottery! However, we turned our misfortune into gold by getting Garnett and Allen and stuffed it to the NBA.
The lottery is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. The worst team should get the #1 pick, no questions asked! Meaning that the Wiz should have got pick #2.

So hypothetically speaking, we all know the Clippers are going to take Griffin, who would you want with the #2 pick if you had it?

So you have no problem with teams tanking it?

I think you dont see this problem with football because one rookie normally isn't gamebreaking with a 53 man roster. In basketball one player can really make a difference.

No, I don't care if teams tank it. They already suck, so tanking 5 games or so means squat. If the commish thinks they truely tanked it, then fine the team for doing so, but don't hurt the teams that actually NEED that pick. The lottery doesn't help the teams that the draft is designed to help with. The problem is these teams that suck need a great player to lead them, the problem is NOT teams tanking games. The focus needs to be redirected.

Wasn't the lottery started because teams were tanking games at the end of the season for the #1 spot?

Yes. Wiki tells me: Hurt by accusations that the Houston Rockets tanked their 1984 season in order to obtain Hakeem Olajuwon, the NBA instituted the Lottery process in 1985.

Yeah, I got to think the Wizards trade out of that spot...
