Not a chance. They will end up in Golden State before New York.

Does James have to win 6 or 7 titles before he leaves Miami.?

Why would he HAVE to do anything?

What time does the lottery come on and what channel?

No.

ESPN. 7 Central.

I kind of hope Minnesota trades Love to Boston and get their high lottery pick as a part of the deal.

It's useless trying to stock up for Minnesota. They've never been able to attract high quality free agents and always seem to be settling for their second choices.

Get one or two franchise players in the draft, work around Pekovic and Dieng in the middle, and try building a team that way.

And don't act like Rubio is the greatest point guard ever. Keep him on the team, but if a better option comes around, by all means take it ASAP.

Seems like as good a choice as any for them for the TWolves. I would love if the Raptors could somehow turn DeRozan into a top 5 pick in this draft.

The only way Minnesota would attract high quality free agents is if they hit a home run in the draft like OKC with Durant.

Aren't there certain restrictions on trading lottery picks though?

Serious question, I have no idea.

Some teams trade picks ahead of time but they are considered protected picks, but I believe it has to be put in the trade.

Yea, I knew about protected picks. Don't know why I'm thinking there are other restrictions.

I totally agree.

And then Phil Jackson - having exhausted the options with a coaching search (he swears!) - will come down from the heavens and go win five more titles as head coach.
