You can look at what just happened at the NBA Lottery Drawing two ways: You can claim it was a travesty that the worst teams in the NBA last year didn’t get the first, second, or third picks; or you can look at it as cosmic justice that three POS teams got what they deserved: kicked in the teeth for being so hapless. In what can only be a called a stunning upset, the Portland Trailblazers landed the #1 overall Draft Pick in the upcoming NBA draft despite having only a 5.3% chance of winning. In case you don’t know, the NBA Draft Lottery works this way: every team gets their name into a big lotto cage, with the teams with the worst records getting more lotto balls than everyone else, i.e. the worst your win-loss record, the more lotto balls you get. Statistically, this means the worst team last year SHOULD get the #1 draft pick. Should, anyway. Read about the rest of it here.
So who will it be, Portland? Olden or Durant? Being that he is a former Longhorn, as am I, I’m gonna advice the Blazers to take Durant. It’s win-win, baby!
