Live LotterySaturday 28th May: 8pm London / 3pm New York (unfortunately 2am Manila) Andrei Kirilenko suggested we hold a live Draft Lottery on a Discord video call, which will enable us to have some discussion around each pick as it arrives. Similar to how these guys did it: YouTubeI just thought I'd gauge interest before going ahead with it, let me know in the replies. Discord Event Link: discord.com/events/469592150645014529/976136417002528848

I thought it would be a cool idea, but would require some willingness to participate from the lottery teams. We could get real-time takes and reactions, making our league a little more similar to the real NBA.
One downside I see is that all the results come out at once, rather than our traditional reveal over a 2 week period. Either way, I think it could be fun to try but would also require more effort and participation.

Let’s have some fun!

I would love to partake, but chances are I’ll be in Norfolk/Virginia Beach a couple weeks for work, so I can’t guarantee my availability around that date.

Yeah you don't have to be a lottery team to attend. Also your choice whether to have video on or not, but this will be our once in a lifetime experience to see all our hideous faces and weird accents

I like the idea. Would this be recorded to be able to watch it back later for people that can't make it? Like how the podcasts were done?

I like the idea, but since it's Saturday evening on a 4-day weekend (as Thursday is off), I'm likely going to be on a trip or maybe just drinking beer on a sunny terrace

I won't be able to attend on May 28, but I think it's a great idea and would love if that became an annual tradition. I think that would be cool.

I echo Mark’s request for this becoming an annual thing, but like Sabonis it is a holiday weekend here in the States and I will likely be blitzed at a pub lol

Stoked to be here but I think if I were to come back I'd pick early September next time. Tried to hit up Iceland before peak summer season to avoid people but the weather has been less than ideal.

Ok we're going to need to re-schedule, 8pm UK time on Saturday 28th May is the exact moment the European Champions League Final kicks off between Liverpool and Real Madrid Would Friday 27th or Sunday 29th be any better for those who thought they were going to miss this event otherwise?
