If we don’t get the first pick, how do we go about getting the other 59? Let’s make a plan.
LOL @that

"Just because we are not at the lottery doesn't mean we won't be in the lottery"
Quote from him today :)
There are going to be a lot of people who will hate Kevin Pritchard if he gets his way into the lottery
Which is very possible due to the contracts he can trade and the ability to take on money long term in the form of a bad contract.

Pritchard: "Just because my name is not 'Summers Eve' doesn't mean I'm not a douche."
Kidding…sort of.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
I like how he says the Kings should take Griffin because he's a sure thing
but that he might not even be the best player from this draft in 5 years. Which is why I’d want Rubio over him.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement.
Well
I’m not sure that drafting Rubio over Griffin is the caboose to that logic train.
What I don't understand
Is this ‘If I had this choice 100 times, I’d pick x every time’ thing. If I had my choice between 100 alternate realities, I’d pick the top 100 guys, then go with the one that turned out best. If, on the other hand, you live in the real world – and have to choose the best based on set amount of information – of course you make the same decision every time.
I like Henry Abbott's overall point
I’m just not convinced that Griffin is that guy. I’m aware that he is mobile (not shocked he’s skilled—can handle the ball/shoot), and the other attributes are already well talked about.
It’s the defensive end I’m always going to be worried about with Griffin. I might be wrong. I often am. I just can’t shake my bad feeling about Griffin. (Just like I couldn’t shake my feeling about Chris Paul.)

I think that was Abbott's overall point
Griffin is considered the consensus number 1 by most folks, but history has shown us that it’s still a crapshoot.
Never forget: I am a complete idiot

He went out of his way to mention 1/3 of the AllStars were top picks

actually muff209? that would be hilarious. I haven’t seen him in a while, I don’t think.
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!
'spect da 'xtra E'
more sanity.
Thank you Hank Abbott.
So, am I to understand that all of the team reps will already know the results of the lottery by the time they’re all seated in their rows and the NBA televises the results? Can we really expect them to have good poker faces? Who’s going to be there for the Kings? Webb? Gavin?
No
Only the team inside the room that see’s the lottery actually take place will know. After the lottery takes place, those people who witnessed the lottery will be inside the room until the results are announced. Everyone else knows when it is announced live on TV.
