NBA Draft 2013

Tongue-in-cheek, but a must read.

Re: NBA Draft 2013

Hasn't the fact that the Knicks have only won one playoff series since 1999 shut up the conspiracy theorists?

Re: NBA Draft 2013

I don't think it is fixed every year but I think it has been fixed in the past, ie the year the Knicks got Ewing (dog eared/frozen envelope) and the year the Magic got Penny Hardaway.

Re: NBA Draft 2013

Cavs get the no 1 pick again. Magic 2nd, Wizards 3rd.

Nerlens Noel is being discussed for the no 1 pick, which could pay HUGE dividends for the Cavs in the long run instead of an immediate impact.

Dream scenario: Take Noel and wait for him to come back around Christmas. The Cavs will likely still be bad even with Noel progressing along in the second half. Puts them in a good spot for another top 5 pick as well and can continue to build a solid supporting cast to make a run at bringing LeBron back after 2014 when he can opt out. Gives him something he never had when in Cleveland the first time.

PG-Kyrie Irving
SG-Dion Waiters
SF-LeBron James
PF-Julius Randle(?)/Tristan Thompson
C-Nerlens Noel
