Carey May 13 Share May 13 Yeah...looks like I deserved that ha ha. As mentioned elsewhere, I feels like Nico didn't make the call, and even though that trade was horrible, some of the reasoning was fair enough. It may appear that Dallas will get the last laugh if all goes well. That is unless Nico finds a way to screw up their selection during the Draft. Which I'd blame on his boss since they can fire him at any time Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2756-the-nba/page/165/#findComment-8660158

There's been very few #1 picks that have been outright busts. Anthony Bennett, you could say Ben Simmons. Greg Oden was bad luck with injuries. Not every #1 pick becomes a generational talent but it's the #2 pick that is full of busts: Marvin Bagley, James Wiseman, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Hasheem Thabeet.

At least until they lost one of their next 3 games. Even if they came back, they're not as epic as previously thought. 2: I am waiting on the Warriors admission on being wrong with that pick, but that's because I can't locate my pimping Golden State.

Curry returning for Game Six if applicable means nothing. All it'll mean is him getting hurt again. Gotta say I was surprised, but hats off to Minnesota. Though they were motivated to beat Los Angeles and that would be it. I don't know if they'll win out, but given what's happening in the East, it's anyone's championship to lose at this point.
