Lakers or the Knicks get the #1 pick.

Bulls are left to feast on the detritus of mediocrity.

Even if they were current GMs, they'd probably tell Reinsdorf to keep doin' what they're doin'...it's working great for the rest of the league!

Statistically speaking, they have the best chance to pick 6th(25%)

Hard to ask for a better pair of running mates than Trae and Collins.

Market doesn't matter anymore. The Cavs were nothing before and after LeBron but the biggest draw in the league when he was there. Zion will invent a basketball market wherever he goes.

Market still matters. Plus, many more people would rather watch Booker, Ayton, and Zion over Trae Young, John Collins, and Zion.

With Porter, LaVine, and Markkahen and potentially W.Carter, they have the makings of a decent team that can make the playoffs next season. Of course, they don't have a starting caliber PG currently on the roster. Adding even an average PG would probably be a major step up for the overall team.

Not saying this is a team that will scare anyone, but it can be a team that is a 6th or 7th type seed if things break right.

If they add a top 2 pick and land a legitimate future superstar, things change pretty quickly for the better.

Chances they, they will get another decent pick and find another piece, but not a difference maker though.

Why do the odds drop for the 5th pick and jump so much for the 6th and 7th?

wanna bet?

ATL was the highest paced offensive team in the league in the 2nd half this year. Young/Collins connection is a helluva lot more exciting and entertaining to watch than ISO Booker and low post big man Ayton. Trae Young is the best ally oop passer in the league...adding Zion to that equation will make ATL the most exciting team in the league.

Horrible take by you
