That shouldn't matter to any of us. We should mainly be concerned about the Bulls. As long as the Cavs are bottom 3, that is all we can hope for.

They need to keep playing Milwaukee!

Yeah, you’re getting greedy if you’re banking on bottom 3 (all I think 12.5% chance), PLUS worst record in case of some one else winning lottery.
Give me bottom 3 and equal shot at top pick and that’s all I care about.
Anyone else see this? Evidently this is real(?).
I guess Kyrie and Love ain't shit? KD is the definition of a fuckboi.

Is he talking about LBJ? I'm confused

Yes. This quote is in reference to him joining Curry, Klay, and Green.
Typing "Kevin Durant saw an old man jumped by three men" into Google nets nothing. Although it is funny as fuck to think that he is saying that right now, since it's nearly a certainty that LeBron won't be in the playoffs in that "waits until the Lakers are all but done; talks shit" way that fits into his really thin-skinned bitchy way of being.
I watched a Raptors game a week or two ago and was thinking Ibaka played like a piece of shit.
Have to lol at the Cavs punking the Raps, but also WTF are you doing Cavs?
Collin Sexton has quietly had a nice stretch of 23+ point games. Pretty solid from 3 point range too.

He’s really turned it on lately. He’s going to be a really nice 2nd/3rd option for this team when they add another superstar or two.

I think it's been pretty much determined where he's not a true point guard, more of a #2. If they can't land Zion I wouldn't cry over the Morant kid from Murray State.
coby white or cam johnson if you don't get zion. either way we need to start looking for a home for TT. that sideshow is beyond annoying at this point, wasn't worth the trouble while winning, definitely a hard pass now.

Defense has still abysmal. He needs to step that up.

Well, keep the defense abysmal while we’re in tank mode lol but yes then improve.

Based on his size and athletic traits, I'm not sure he can honestly. I view him as a 6th man scorer coming off the bench long term.
Collin Sexton first to score 23+ in 7 straight games since Tim Duncan.

I hope those who were writing him off (cough cough COA) after 10 nba games are ready to eat some crow.
Easy S&L, I can see I hurt your feelz. He's still by score the worst defender in the league, still unathletic, and still a shrimp. Who would you rather have? Sexton or Bridges? Sexton or Gilgeous-Alexander?
The answer to that should be obvious and points out my biggest issue. Our GM is a bonafide moron.
Sexton will be a piece going forward. Not an alpha but a nice piece. As long as he's putting up 20+ every night I'm not crying over his defense because there are quite a few players at his position that suck on defense.
Agree on the GM. Dan Gilbert should be clubbed for promoting that buffoon to GM. Still miss Griff.
Thank god Chicago pulled one out last night or the Cavs would be one game from tying for 3rd/4th.

My point was after a few games into his NBA career you were writing him off, and I said he’s going to need some time to come into his own. And that’s now happening. He’s never going to be a good defender but we didnt draft him to be one. Not every player on the court in today’s NBA needs to be a good defender.
Give me Ja Morant in the draft over either of the Duke boys.

That’s still in the hot take stage. Ja is awesome. I see a John Wall type, pretty damn special...maybe even a Westbrook. He has room on that frame for more strength. Zion could end up being the Bo Jackson of basketball but could be the best of LeBron without the bitch. Zion will be 18 for another 4 months while Ja will be 20 in August. Looking at Lebrons body from 18 to years later and seeing what Zion might be like once he gets shredded. So far Zion has handled everything well too which I feel is important on how he may evolve down the road.
No way would I pass on Zion

I'm in this camp. Zion first, Morant a nice consolation prize, but I'm taking Ja over the other Duke guys. Move Sexton to the 2, which he kind of already is anyhow. May be small between the two but it would be fun to watch.
If we get the first pick, it’s gotta be Zion
