2017 Draft Lottery

[Ian Noble]

2017 Draft Lottery
This season @riogho remotely connected to my computer whilst I simmed the Lottery. Any attempt to hassle him for the results before I have posted them will result in punishment!

The lottery will continue as the Playoffs progress. A new team will be added to the bottom of the list every day until the top two spots have been confirmed.

The lottery will be simmed using D5's Draft Lottery Simulator (originally created by Josh Barber).

Once the lottery is finished the 2017 Rookie Draft can begin, without time limits on picks until after the real NBA draft starts on June 22nd.

Tie-breakers were decided here.

I know the 8th pick still has yet to be announced, but anyone announced AFTER the 8th pick that would rather have Lavine than their pick can hmu.

If you saw the lottery, and know what the picks are, why would anyone want to trade with you?

I don't think that you should even be allowed to do this until the picks are announced

Yes, i meant to make clear by saying after it is announced but I see it wasn't perfectly clear. I'm not interested in trading for any picks until they are announced. However, I will restate. Anyone whose pick has been ANNOUNCED as pick 1-7, please hmu for lavine

[Andrei Kirilenko]

In a weird roundabout way I think Billy's post confirms there was no movement between like picks 4-8. He couldn't make a trade if there was because then he would be trading on insider knowledge

It doesn't because I wasn't trying to trade for the picks before they were announced, I even fucking said it in my post.

It's not my fault that CB can't read at 5 am while high as balls.

I understood you Billy. Others likely don't want to trade their picks until they know if they won the lotto or not, which is also why you said after it was announced.

So you're now confirming there was movement between picks 4-8?

A. I wasn't high
B. It wasn't 5 am

C. I don't feel like arguing sentence modifiers and semantics right now, but your sentence is not clear. 

[Vlade Divac]

I just hope my pick is not the first pick! If it is, we will have to call it "Billy King's Fictional Revenge!"

The 7th pick in the 2017 Dynasty Five Draft will go to:






























































^{7. Atlanta Hawks (PHX)}

[Jeremiah Hill]

No one is giving up a lotto pick for a guy who's game is entirely predicated on athleticism who also just blew his knee out. You're on crack Billy.

I bet Lavine has a better career than 50% of the players taken in the top 8 in this draft.

Wanna lay some money on it?
