2009 NBA Draft Lottery: OPEN THREAD

Well folks! This is it! The moment of Truth is upon us, and the Oklahoma City Thunder will be involved in their first ever NBA Draft Lottery selection show tonight at 7:30pm Local Time on ESPN. NBA Shootaround is set to start at 7pm Central time as well, which should make it well worth watching, so I fully recommend clearing your schedule between 7pm and 8pm CT and tuning into ESPN to see where the Thunder will be making their first selection in the 2009 NBA Draft, which is coming up in late June. Of course keep your web browsers opened to this post, so you can join in on the post-lottery, knee jerk reactions, that are sure to follow.
After the selection show is over we will have a much better idea as to who might be the next rookie player joining the Oklahoma City Thunder. Of course that will be a little bit more/less difficult to determine depending on where the Thunder end up. If they get the awarded the top pick of the draft, we'll go ahead and announce that with the first pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder Select: Forward, University of Oklahoma, Blake Griffin! Whereas, if we wind up with say, the #6 pick, the guessing game will begin as to who teams in front of us will wind up taking, then determining the best fit for our ballclub. Currently we're slotted in at Number 4 overall, and sliding backwards wouldn't be the end of the world, but the impact from getting one of the top 3 picks in the draft as opposed to sliding backwards is night and day in terms of immediate impact from the player. Take the leap to see the odds if you haven't been following the last few weeks, and join us here live to comment in this thread before, during, and after the 2009 NBA Draft Lottery. Should be fun!

The NBA is really screwing this up by not showing the actual drawing with lottery balls in a tumbler
Maybe to lengthen it they could draw all 14 spots instead of just the top 3 (again with declining odds according to regular season finish). It would create more excitement to watch than an envelope opened on stage, and remove a lot of speculation/conspiracy theory about manipulations. Local newspapers could print all the winning combinations so fans would sit there like a giant bingo crossing out what they have. Something like this.

I agree that they don’t really capitalize on the system they have created and all the buzz and excitement that goes along with it. Doesn’t David Stern know people love watching Lottery balls get pulled.
…as for conspiracy theories, I don’t buy them since the room is full of reps from every team involved. I just don’t see how it’s possible that everyone would agree to pass on the best player for the betterment of the NBA. Pretty ridiculous actually.

They don't have to agree
it’d be like the Patrick Ewing lottery… the board gets bent when they put it in. Slight and accidental… so it seems.
I haven’t worked out how it works with ping pong balls… can’t really bend one of those. Maybe they freeze it? Or warm it up? Or draw a black $ sign on the good ones and a red $ sign on the bad ones?

The company overseeing it is Ernst & Young
PWC, KPMG, Deloitte, E&Y, … I have worked with about all of the major accounting firms (and worked in one on the consulting side) and got to know how they audit Fortune 100 company balance sheets – or not since they can only do spot tests. And I have seen a partner apologizing to the CFO of a company marred in a bribery scandal for a young associate who had discovered their hidden system of offshore funds. I won’t say which one of those it was. They rotate the assigned people so no networks form, but the account manager does what the guy who pays them says so they can come back the next year. I don’t trust them further than I can throw a notary :)
It’s unlikely. But more transparency wouldn’t hurt.

It might be a stupid question
because I’m guessing, given the draft seems to be Griffin & everyone else, that the answer is a no-brainer… but do you guys want the #1 pick?
(I’m still struggling to see how Griffin helps the team as much as getting Rubio or some other PG or a C like Thabeet… and do you really want the #5 pick from a couple years back coming off of the bench?)

If they get Griffin
I think they would move Green to the 3, Durant to the 2 and leave Westbrook at the 1. Still a big hole at the 5 however.
On the floor, Thabeet or Rubio would be a better pick. Selling tickets, though, can’t pass up Griffin.

Yeah
Durant doesn’t seem like he’d work as well at the 2, but maybe that’s just me.
So… if they get #1 and take Rubio… do the fans revolt?

They would take Griffin and put Green on the market for an upgrade at center I would assume
Similar with LAC who could turn around and move Z-Bo or Davis if they win.
by Norsktroll on May 19, 2009 9:31 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Is Green worth an upgrade at center?
I’m not in the Green fan club, but is he going to garner a player better than Krstic/Collison? Seems they may as well stay at center, if that’s the case.

by Scott Schroeder on May 19, 2009 10:31 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Easier said than done
Given that we’d have to find a team that valued Green and was willing to trade a productive center (or a young, higher ceiling center) for us to pull the trigger. I’m not sure how many centers better than Krstic would be available for trade — it’s not like folks are dangling the Brook Lopez’s or Greg Oden’s out there for us to pick up either.
I’m sure the FO would trade him in a heartbeat if such were available.
by manifestus on May 19, 2009 12:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Green is definitely a hard man to place, that's for sure.
Surely other teams would be interested, should they choose to move him (which personally, I’d hate to see). The guy improved a lot over his rookie season and was pretty productive playing a position that his body doesn’t really agree with.
I’ve love to see him come off the bench longterm, and I don’t mean that as a slide toward him, but a guy of his caliber can really be an igniter off the bench. Especially down the road when the team fills out, having Green coming of the bench could be huge.

still, it makes no sense to consolidate all that talent into three guys between the heights of 6’8’’ and 6’10’’ that play the 3 and 4. Center is a bigger deal than a great sixth man.

Agreed
If we get #1 there is no way they pass on Griffin purely because it make sense to draft him from a business standpoint; local kid, consenses #1. Is it better for the team, probably not.
by bamakcfan on May 19, 2009 10:51 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sure, but
in the long run, won’t winning sell more than just drafting a local guy?
Not saying Griffin won’t help win more, but it seems like Rubio/Thabeet would help win more more than Griffin.

I'm not sure that
Thabeet would be a better pick. He looks primed to fail in a huge way (or potentially do awesomely). And given how well Durant has done at the 3 versus how horrible he was at the 2, I’d be hesistant to stick him back there. It’d make more sense to rotate Green and Griffin if said scenario played out.
And there’s basically no chance with the #1 pick the Thunder would pass on Griffin. Should something ridiculous happen, the pick is almost absolutely going to be Rubio, not Thabeet. Since that’d never happen, it’s a pointless exercise to discuss it in depth.

When did anyone ever suggest drafting Thabeet at 1?

Look above a few posts
up to the post I actually was replying to — UtesFan89 suggested that drafting Thabeet might make more sense than drafting Griffin. Griffin is hands down going #1 which is what I noted, not that I would recommend that Thabeet would be drafted #1 — rather just that if directly contrasting the two, it’d make little sense to draft Thabeet ahead of Griffin even if for need.
Pretty clear-cut imho.

Durant Thrived
when they moved him from the 2 to the 3 early in the season. I really don’t see them sliding him back to guard full time.

Selling tickets isn't a problem.
Durant is best at SF, Griffin would be the starting PF, Green would be the natural 6th man playing relief for Durant and Griffin.
by daddydai on May 19, 2009 5:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Can’t we wait a year for that. Beasley came off the bench for Miami, a similar player to Griffin. Give Green another year to start and see if improves some more. I for one love the idea of Durant at the 2, yet his game did take off at the 3. If Griffin and Green are redundant, trade Green for a vet pg and move Westbrook over.

First Round Picks???
What other picks do we have in the first? Do we have any chance of getting that Williams kid from Louisville? He is a great defender. My perfect draft would be Thabeet at 3 and hope we can get williams with our other pick but I dont know where he is projected or what our other picks are.

What are the chances of moving the 2-5 pick and our 25th(i think) for the number 1?
by blackvanilla on May 19, 2009 1:37 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
#2 overall and #25 Overall
Would be a no brainer for anyone who prefers Rubio over Griffin. IE the Knicks, etc. It won’t happen though. 3-5 and #25 for #1 you can forget.
It really is hard to justify in any situation really because any situation where the team would be willing to do that deal would be one that wouldn’t benefit us as much as them, and we all know Mr Presti likes to get the better end of any deal he’s involved in.

I’m a Chicago Bears fan over at WCG and I’m definitely not a big NBA fan, but I root for the Thunder. When Durant was drafted by the Sonics I chose them as my team, I’m looking to get more into the NBA fandom b/c the NFL off-season is so painfully long. So best of luck to the Thunder!

Say hello
to Hasheem Thabeet.
Carlos Boozer just made his decision to opt out.
No getting embarrassed by him 3 or 4 times a season.

there were rumors early after the season ended, and his talk mid-season, but I don’t think he officially has yet.

It's Thabeet
I’ve been talking to Scott Roth whose preparing him for the draft. Thabeet’s a stud.

Oden 2.0 with a crapload of injuries.

Only if...
Presti doesn’t trust Thabeet’s game, or wants Harden’s ability to score.

No Worries....
I bet the Clips take Austin Daye and Memphis takes Chase Budinger. Then you’ll be set.
