Do the Pelicans have to represent their pick at the lottery?

Or do the hawks already control? I was curious if the hawks receive the pick before or after the lottery due to it being tied to the bucks pick, which ever is the better pick.

What an embarrassment to win the 1 pick and then have to hand it over to another team.

I’d almost love to see dumars have to sit in the shite he created at the draft lottery…smh

When an NBA lottery pick is traded, the team that currently owns the pick (the team that received it in the trade) is the one represented at the lottery drawing, provided the pick is not protected. If the pick is protected, the original team sends a representative if there is a chance the pick falls within their protected range.

my thoughts exactly. I really hope it’s the first overall pick. My question is has he done an interview explaining himself for doing the trade? Queen is a good player but in no way should you have traded an unprotected 1st

I would love a picture of Dumars holding the winning lottery ball. You know that bitch won’t be the representative for the lotto. Coward mother fricker.

Looking at the state of the league and the current standings, there's absolutely no way we will finish below Washington, Indiana, Sacramento, Brooklyn, and Utah.

And I fully expect Charlotte, Milwaukee, and Memphis to fall off hard after the break.

I think 25 wins will comfortably get them out of the top 5 with a small chance of finishing outside of the top 7. So they need to to go 14-19 the rest of the way to get there.

Yes I do. Way more than I should. And apparently you don't pay attention to the rest of the league so I'm not surprised.

I’d watch it just to see him get interviewed if they win. However, we know the lottery is rigged so it wouldn’t happen anyways.

I remember in the offseason this board said there was no way the pacers and bucks would be in the lottery lol.

Dumars was holding onto gold and just gave it away.
