00:00To watch the teams with the three best chances to win the lottery all fall out of the top three was incredible.
00:10To then see Dallas pick at one, San Antonio pick at two, and Philly pick at three, the storylines, the takeaways are immense.
00:20The one that is unacceptable is thinking the lottery is rigged.
00:23The other that is unacceptable is thinking that somehow Nico Harrison has been validated.
00:26As long as we clean those up, we're all good here to have a nice, fun conversation around the NBA lottery.
00:34J-Y, I'm just going to throw it to you.
00:36What is the thing that you're still thinking about ever since we've had the draft order set on Monday?
00:41It's after one chaos can ensue.
00:46Okay.
00:47I'm looking at San Antonio, too, and I'm like, what are they going to do?
00:52Like, you know, and we were talking about this pre-show, I'm not convinced of the Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox experiment.
01:00Don't see it.
01:01But I don't see them taking ace bail either.
01:03Yeah, true.
01:03I think at two, the madness starts in regards to trades because now San Antonio can take that number two pick.
01:12They can take some of their younger guys, whether it's Fasal or Calvin Johnson or whatever, and move it to the center table to maybe go get a Giannis, to go get a big-time superstar.
01:22So, to me, it starts at two, and then it goes right to three with a Philadelphia.
01:27Like, if somehow Ace Bailey goes two, well, are we trading Maxie?
01:32Are we trading McCain?
01:34No, no.
01:35Are we taking Dylan Harper?
01:36Are we taking a kid from Baylor?
01:37Probably not.
01:38So, to me, as much as Nico getting number one pick is crazy enough, to me, two and three may send a crazy domino, Tom, down the board in regards to trades and movement.
01:49Right.
01:49So, the question initially is what was, like, my takeaway?
01:52Yeah, the thing you're still thinking about.
01:54I personally love the fact that none of the top three teams got the first pick.
01:59Okay.
01:59Because I believe that, you know, it's, like, we don't want to incentivize tanking.
02:04And to be like, hey, all three of you tanked, like, literally openly tanked, especially the Jazz, and now you didn't get rewarded for it.
02:12I like that.
02:13Because I want to see them be like, hey, we actually have to be competitive because tanking actually doesn't matter.
02:19To an extent.
02:20To an extent.
02:21And I think that's – I like to see it like, hey, we threw away a season and we didn't get rewarded for it.
02:26We actually should be trying.
02:27Okay.
02:28I'm going to ask this.
02:29And you guys are, like, more of the football, baseball guys.
02:32You know, I'm just kind of the basketball guy here.
02:33But when you see something like that happen, you see the – I think the ready coach knows hockey.
02:39The Islanders had a 3% chance they won the lottery.
02:41Right.
02:42Do you think it would be – I'll put $2 in the jar.
02:46Would you think that if they did that in the NFL?
02:50Yeah.
02:50Wouldn't – I think that would be pretty cool.
02:53I mean, especially as a Jeff fan because, you know, we'll probably blow it anyway.
02:55But, you know.
02:56It would be legitimately the dumbest thing they could do.
03:01Okay.
03:01So, you know, we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're – we're –
