2008 Draft Lottery Mojo & Live Event Thread

PrintThe draft lottery is upon us in a few hours, so let's rev up the mojo-mobile. A fortuitous bounce could turn this rebuilding project on its head. Quite possibly, tonight could be more important than any Kings game of the past two seasons. Fans, assemble!
At FanHouse, I have granted our team bonus points if considering basketball karma or conspiracy theories in the proceedings to come. (Unfortunately, the malevolent Basketball God theory doesn't end with the Kings in the top 3.) Weight those ping pong balls, Stern!
Who's getting lucky tonight? Could it be us? Deliver that mojo, StR! Did you eat Lucky Charms this morning? Are you wearing your shamrock underpants? Did you maim any rabbits this weekend?

In honor
Of Margie representing us, I have collected 333 pennies and put them in a gold piggy bank. I will also be donning a Mike Bibby autographed jersey with a lucky boxer!
Let’s Go Margie!!!!
May the lottery gods be with you tonight!!!
BOOK IT!
My good luck charms are at the ready -
A lock of Scot Pollard’s hair.
A discarded Vlade Divac cigarette butt.
Chicken wing bones that C-Webb and Marty Mac dined on at Center Court (that’s how they roll).
A vile of Huge Mike’s sweat.
A tube of Brylcreem, autographed by Sign Man.
A tainted cheeseburger, half eaten by Kobe Bryant.
And my lucky underwear, made entirely out of peaches!

I will be wearing my underwear....
inside out and on my head while driving down I-80. If you see me honk but don’t look down. I have a feeling about this one…but it could just be the diverticulitis. This is the first time I have ever prayed for little white balls to swing my way.
Hot dogs, get your hot dogs.
LPA and I are burning effigies and performing an ancient
UTE Indian luck dance. Actually it could be the Macarena. I’m not quite sure. We’ll keep the fire extinguishers close at hand in case things get out of control.

Hoping for a Stern conspiracy
C’mon David Stern – you really want to keep the Kings in Sacramento. No better way than to weight those ping pong balls a little bit to get people excited in the team again. Go conspiracy theories!
For those of you who are stuck at work
or outside the US. Here’s a link to watch the lottery online
Go Kings! 1 or 2! 1or 2! 1 or 2!

Was Joe Maloof supposed to be there with Margie?

With the history of our team, we should be happy if they don’t find a way to give us a pick lower than 12.
"I drink your milkshake...I drink it up!!!"
I beleive that there are 2 ways we could end up getting a
pick lower than 12. Portland and/or GS win a top 3 spot. Now Shh!

you know what, if Kevin Love’s going to drop to 12 (which is almost certainly not going to happen), I wouldn’t even care about this lottery. But he’s not, and I don’t want swiss cheese defense McGee in a Kings uni, screw the Sacramento connection.
Just wondering – who would you all take at #3?
Better Question TZ Why?

If we win the lottery, I say we retire her jersey.

I say we put her floating head on ice and make it a rule that she shows up anytime
a draft pick is selected. Sort of like the Richard Nixon floating head from Futurama (without the totalitarian crap though).

if they end up with the 3rd pick.

So basically
The team full of really great youngsters who completely underachieved this year get the number 1 pick? nice. maybe its not about karma. maybe its about being complete douchebags. on a karmic scale, the Bulls should be the world’s worst team for the next 30 years simply because they got Jordan.
however, this could make Tyrus Thomas expendable. hmm…
If the Bulls take Rose like many will expect
if for nothing else than Rose happens to be from the Chi, than you have to expect Riley will be very happy. He wants Beasley more than Rose, and is probably the one team that for certain that I would say that’s so.

was much better than being at the lottery. I’m glad I didn’t win! (Returns to cocktail(s).)
