But they only have one first round pick this year...so unless the next MJ is out there, they are going to be lottery players for a while.

I don't think there is an MJ/Lebron/Hakeem level player in this draft but Cade Cunningham and Jalen Suggs look really good.

LOL, Brunson looking boss like he owns the whole thing while Burke looks like "can i get back to my Playstation?"

OKC is definitely in the bottom feeder wilderness. Their only hope is that rolling the dice on a LOT of draft choices will pay off.

I guess it's possible to trade a bunch of those picks for a high level vet, but that's how they got those picks in the first place.

They have rights to Houston’s pick if it is not top 4, but Houston would be pretty unlucky to drop down to 5th.

Cool pic. Who is missing?  I would love to see it captioned.

I am surprised how small Kleber and Melli look. And how big Green looks.

[Aussiebballer]

Bey is next to WCS, I think Terry is missing.
Looks like a bit of height distortion for the guys at the back. As Maxi and Melli look shorter then they are.
Possibly due to the camera being down low when the photo was taken.

Luka's the only one that gives a full smile, that's why you gonna bank bro.

Pretty sure Luka's first post-rookie contract is going to blow all of our minds. I think its going to be around the range of 5 years 200-210 mil if the Rose rule kicks in. 

Well deserved. Hope he improves to the point where he makes even that sized contract seem like a massive overpay akin to his rookie contract.

Also endorsements and whatnot.

There shouldn't be anything surprising in Luka's new deal. It will be the most money possible, and is all-but-certain to total over $200M, as follows:

$34,710,000 
$37,486,800 
$40,263,600
$43,040,400
$45,817,200 

$201,318,000 TOTAL

Need to trade for Barnes. He is the only one that can save him.

Mavs would do well to win the next two games and make that last one not matter. Mavs are basically in their only mini-play in tournament against teams that have nothing fo play for. Mavs only have 1 game they can lose assuming the Lakers win out which they probably will.

Ya, shutting down both Luka and KP for that last game snd playing the rotation guys a lot less would be a great luxury. Make Min work for that tank!!!

Minnesota are idiots. Instead of tanking they are actually playing better making false hopes they are not that bad. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games effectively reducing their chances to keep the top3 protected pick.

Wolves had so many high picks past few years.
At this point, I don't think they care that much about keeping it. They want to build something with their new coach and current young core

Ya given that it goes to GSW if its outside top 3 makes it a really poor organizational decision to not tank as hard as humanly possible.
