I also have two solid to good PGs. I need a starter at SF and PF, but the options here are pretty bad. Dante Arthur the only one at either position, and he is the highest OVR left here. Not a lot of potential' but he is a need. PG Clifford Warren is probably the best player but he wouldnt play as a rookie, and he is small like my other 2 PGs. Gene Hunt is interesting but I basically just drafted him last year with Wally Wellington. I am getting a little tired of filling future spots, but I will only have 1 PF after this year. 1.7 / PF / Dante Arthur I don't think I am going to end up being happy with this pick, but I didn't want to draft a clone of a PG or SG I already have. Let's sim to 22. 1.22 / SG / Manuel Chavez 1.23 / PG / Jackie Barker Two more depth guys with hopes they can progress. Jackie Barker's ceiling comp is Kyrie Irving, has 2 finishing badges, 2 shooting and 1 playmaking. Chavez has 4 finishing badges. 2.3 / PF / Andre Iguodala Jr. I think it's obvious why I took this guy.

I own the Wizards unprotected 1st and the Mavs pick with a top 3 protection. The Wizards were the 6th worst team and the Mavs 9th last year.

JBURGE Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Mid-Season Break TRADE SOLAR BEARS RECEIVE MAVERICKS RECEIVE C RADOSLAV SEBIC 74 1/3.7M SG BERNIE GOODEN 76 1/4.6M 2031 1st (PHI) As I said, I am moving on from some of my bench guys for future picks. 76ers suck now and hopefully they continue to suck. I actually couldnt trade Lance Wright for anything, so I will stick with just one trade/ I started off the year 1-11 and ended up 23-30 at the trade deadline, so I might actually compete for a play-in spot. If I wasn't, I would hacve moved Otis. The Mavs and Wizards are currently the 3rd and 4th worst teams, but the 76ers are essentially already locks for the worst team, sitting at 11-43. Other than that, there are 10 teams with 18-23 wins. Draft Prospects FINALLY!

JBURGE Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I just wanted to post the lotteries for this franchise. The first 4 years my natural pick has moved down, and this last lottery it stuck at 10. Only 1 of my picks has ever moved up (2025 SAS) and it was a terrible draft class. 2023 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY DRAFT ORDER TEAM ODDS TEAM TEAM 1 SPURS 13.9% 1 PACERS 17 TRAILBLAZERS (NY) 2 KNICKS (DET) 13.8% 2 NETS 18 RAPTORS 3 JAZZ 13.7% 3 WIZARDS 19 NETS (PHX) 4 SOLAR BEARS 12.2% 4 JAZZ 20 LAKERS 5 SPURS (CHA) 9.6% 5 SPURS 21 THUNDER (LAC) 6 JAZZ (MIN) 9.5% 6 PISTONS 22 ROCKETS (OKC) 7 THUNDER (WAS) 6.0% 7 SOLAR BEARS 23 THUNDER (MIA) 8 NETS 5.9% 8 HORNETS 24 BULLS (POR) 9 MAGIC 5.8% 9 JAZZ (MIN) 25 ROCKETS (MIL) 10 KINGS 2.8% 10 MAGIC 26 JAZZ (PHI) 11 SOLAR BEARS (IND) 1.8% 11 KINGS 27 HAWKS 12 ROCKETS 1.0% 12 ROCKETS 28 KNICKS (DAL) 13 LAKERS (NO) 1.0% 13 PELICANS 29 WRANGLERS 14 THUNDER (DEN) 1.0% 14 NUGGETS 30 WARRIORS 15 GRIZZLIES 1.0% 15 GRIZZLIES 31 PACERS (CLE) 16 MAGIC (CHI) 1.0% 16 MAGIC (CHI) 32 PACERS (BOS) 2024 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY TEAM ODDS 1 SOLAR BEARS 13.9% 2 THUNDER (WAS) 13.8% 3 SPURS 13.7% 4 SPURS (CHA) 12.2% 5 KNICKS (DET) 9.6% 6 THUNDER (UTA) 9.5% 7 BULLS 6.0% 8 MAVERICKS 5.9% 9 SUNS 5.8% 10 HAWKS (SAC) 2.8% 11 HEAT 1.8% 12 TRAIL BLAZERS 1.0% 13 TIMBERWOLVES 1.0% 14 THUNDER (LAC) 1.0% 15 ROCKETS (BKN) 1.0% 16 PELICANS (MIL) 1.0% DRAFT ORDER TEAM TEAM 1 SPURS (CHA) 17 THUNDER (DEN) 2 MAVERICKS 18 SPURS (TOR) 3 THUNDER (WAS) 19 CELTICS 4 BULLS 20 GRIZZLIES (GS) 5 SOLAR BEARS 21 PACERS 6 SPURS 22 SOLAR BEARS (LAL) 7 KNICKS (DET) 23 KNICKS 8 JAZZ 24 GRIZZLIES 9 SUNS 25 SOLAR BEARS (ORL) 10 KINGS 26 THUNDER (HOU) 11 HEAT 27 [THUNDER 12 TRAIL BLAZERS 28 76ERS 13 TIMBERWOLVES 29 WRANGLERS 14 THUNDER (LAC) 30 PELICANS 15 ROCKETS (BKN) 31 CAVS 16 PELICANS (MIL) 32 HAWKS 2025 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY TEAM ODDS 1 WIZARDS 13.9% 2 NETS (PHX) 13.8% 3 LAKERS 13.7% 4 PELICANS (MIL) 12.2% 5 HORNETS 9.6% 6 THUNDER (LAC) 9.5% 7 SOLAR BEARS 6.0% 8 SOLAR BEARS (SA) 5.9% 9 RAPTORS 5.8% 10 GRIZZLIES (GS) 2.8% 11 MAVERICKS 1.8% 12 SPURS (ATL) 1.0% 13 KNICKS 1.0% 14 PACERS 1.0% 15 JAZZ (AUS) 1.0% 16 TRAIL BLAZERS 1.0% DRAFT ORDER TEAM TEAM 1 HORNETS 17 THUNDER (MIA) 2 RAPTORS 18 PISTONS 3 SOLAR BEARS (SA) 19 CLIPPERS (OKC) 4 LAKERS 20 HAWKS (SAC) 5 WIZARDS 21 CELTICS 6 NETS (PHX) 22 ROCKETS (BKN) 7 PELICANS (MIL) 23 NETS (HOU) 8 THUNDER (LAC) 24 SPURS (CHI) 9 SOLAR BEARS 25 THUNDER (UTA) 10 GRIZZLIES (GS) 26 SOLAR BEARS (MEM) 11 MAVERICKS 27 THUNDER (PHI) 12 SPURS (ATL) 28 PELICANS 13 KNICKS 29 JAZZ (MIN) 14 PACERS 30 MAGIC (DEN) 15 WRANGLERS 31 THUNDER (CLE) 16 TRAIL BLAZERS 32 MAGIC 2026 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY TEAM ODDS 1 76ers 13.9% 2 THUNDER (LAC) 13.8% 3 HEAT 13.0% 4 SOLAR BEARS 12.9% 5 WIZARDS 9.6% 6 RAPTORS 9.5% 7 LAKERS 6.0% 8 KNICKS 5.9% 9 MAVERICKS 5.8% 10 BULLS 2.3% 11 SUNS 2.3% 12 CELTICS 1.0% 13 KINGS 1.0% 14 WARRIORS 1.0% 15 GRIZZLIES 1.0% 16 HAWKS 1.0% DRAFT ORDER TEAM TEAM 1 HAWKS 17 ROCKETS (BKN) 2 THUNDER (LAC) 18 PISTONS 3 MAVERICKS 19 JAZZ 4 RAPTORS 20 JAZZ (OKC) 5 76ers 21 NUGGETS 6 HEAT 22 SOLAR BEARS (IND) 7 SOLAR BEARS 23 SOLAR BEARS (POR) 8 WIZARDS 24 HORNETS 9 LAKERS 25 MAGIC 10 KNICKS 26 PELICANS 11 BULLS 27 76ers (HOU) 12 SUNS 28 JAZZ (AUS) 13 CELTICS 29 SPURS (ATL) 14 KINGS 30 TIMBERWOLVES 15 WARRIORS 31 BUCKS 16 GRIZZLIES 32 CAVS 2027 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY TEAM ODDS 1 NETS (PHI) 13.9% 2 SPURS (ATL) 13.8% 3 WARRIORS 13.0% 4 CLIPPERS 12.9% 5 SOLAR BEARS (DAL) 9.6% 6 SOLAR BEARS (WAS) 9.5% 7 RAPTORS 6.0% 8 HORNETS 5.9% 9 NUGGETS 5.8% 10 SOLAR BEARS 2.3% 11 CELTICS 2.3% 12 TRAIL BLAZERS 1.0% 13 NETS (PHX) 1.0% 14 WRANGLERS 1.0% 15 WARRIORS (MEM) 1.0% DRAFT ORDER TEAM TEAM 1 WARRIORS 17 SPURS 2 HORNETS 18 HEAT 3 NETS (PHI) 19 NETS 4 NUGGETS 20 JAZZ (LAL) 5 SPURS 21 JAZZ (LAL) 6 CLIPPERS 22 BULLS 7 SOLAR BEARS (DAL) 23 PELICANS 8 SOLAR BEARS (WAS) 24 KINGS 9 RAPTORS 25 MAGIC 10 SOLAR BEARS 26 KNICKS 11 CELTICS 27 PELICANS (MIL) 12 TRAIL BLAZERS 28 PACERS 13 NETS (PHX) 29 JAZZ (CLE) 14 WRANGLERS 30 ROCKETS 15 GRIZZLIES 31 THUNDER 16 PISTONS 32 JAZZ (MIN) Edited July 18, 2023 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
