Due To The Cleveland Cavs Winning The 2nd Pick In The Pre-Lottery Tiebreaker, We Now Have The 2nd Pick In The 2nd Round.

That Orlando trade for Fultz included a 2nd Rounder that belonged to Cleveland. We now have the 2nd pick in the 2nd round along with the 4th pick in the 2nd round from Chicago (we got that from a trade last year with the Lakers for a 2nd)

Edit: u/A_Huggable_Cactus informed me that it’s actually the opposite. Since the Cavs won the flip we actually have the 3rd pick in the 2nd round instead of the 2nd pick. Confusing as hell because we see different things at different places lol

So like his threads says, our picks are

24th 33rd 34th 42nd 54th

We should have had the 31st pick as well, but we gave it to the Nets so they would take Okafor lol

BC is a asshole.

Stupid motherfucker could have just bought him out to get rid of him, but instead he gave away a pick so he could get Trevor Booker for part of a season. Fuck him so much.

Man it still makes me mad. Rejected earlier offers because “they didn’t match Okafor’s worth”, didn’t want Okafor to play a game, didn’t trade him during TWO drafts because the offers “didn’t match up”, declined his option and ended up trading Okafor, Sauce & that NY 2nd for a player we had for 2 months.

That’s a special level of stupidity and arrogance. Just to think Hinkie had a deal with Boston which was going to be Okafor for BKN’s 2016 1st...and Jerry Colangelo stopped it.

Fuck him and fuck Adam silver. He is the reason our team has zero depth, which is indirectly the reason that Embiid is hurt right now. Idk man words cant describe how badly I wish he never existed.

Holy shit that was an actual deal. What a fucking idiot, my grandmother would’ve made that trade.

Definitely gives BC a run for his money. At least Billy King wasn't evil.

I mean Jerry Jones did great in the 80s and 90s it’s just that he’s stuck in the 80s and 90s

That is a very valuable pick since it’s not tied to a guaranteed contract. We could honestly package it with cash considerations and move back into the late 20s if there’s a player the team’s in love with.

Na man I think cash considerations has a lot of potential and a bright future with the team.

When’s the last time a team traded out of the first round for cash?

32nd pick could easily be someone decent. Package our picks and maybe we could move up to just outside the lottery.

This draft is key. We need cheap serviceable backups at every position to contend. Surely out of Shake, Zhaire, Bolden, Highsmith and our 3 decent picks we can find contributors....

BathSaltBoss•

i think shake and zhaire will for sure be solid bench players next year. bolden has the potential cause he has all the skills and athleticism just needs to slow things down and work on some things

Should we move up or stand pat? Honestly, if we think there is someone good in the late first round we should just trade up

5
DutchEnglishOPSTARHUNTER™•

Move up if there’s someone in the late 20’s we really want (we have the 24th pick with our own 1st). Having the 2nd pick in the 2nd round makes it easier to do such a thing with a team who’s picking post 25.

wilyame•

I like standing pat, there are guys who look like promising role players who should hopefully be available.

A_Huggable_Cactus•

Sorry but I actually think this is incorrect. With the coin flip Cleveland gets to pick before the Suns in the first round (if there was no lottery), but in a tie to make it fair they flip in the second round. So they Suns pick 32 and we pick 33 I believe. Still decent and not a huge deal though

3
DutchEnglishOPSTARHUNTER™•

That’s how the NFL works I believe. In the NBA it may be different. I got it from this article so idk if it’s 100% true

https://sixerswire.usatoday.com/2019/04/12/a-coin-flip-will-determine-where-sixers-2019-second-round-pick-lands/

If they are correct the coin flip mostly determines the 2nd Rounder in the top 4 since the odds are the same pre lottery. The article says whoever won the flip gets the earlier 2nd as well. You could be right though.

1
A_Huggable_Cactus•

I’m not sure, maybe they updated the rules when the lottery odds were changed. I’ve seen it both ways now

2
DutchEnglishOPSTARHUNTER™•

Yeah I replied to you a second ago but I think you’re right. Same thing happened with Dallas & Atlanta last year and Atlanta had a higher 2nd.

Funny thing is Atlanta passed them in the lottery which makes the fairness rule kind of funny lol

We need to take Carson Edwards at 32

So we have nothing

We probably have a better chance of this pick and the OKC pick turning into a decent player than Fultz at this point.

We could’ve drafted a literal rock and it would’ve been better than fultz.
