    I agree, & Mutombo found out about it but jumped the gun on tweeting it out.

    I've been pretty anxious about this all day, given the high stakes either way. But I've also made my peace with missing out on the pick. At least it means Jim will be gone and we can finally get going on the mental catharsis.

    Philly needs a skilled point guard to handle all their big men. Would they take Huertas for the pick .... back room deal?

    Here's a sobering thought. Maybe Boron winds up a hero in Lakers lore for ever more. The single most important catalyst in turning this storied franchise around and back to its winning ways. If we get the #2 or #1pick at the end of today. By virtue of the sheer magnificence of his ineptitude as a head coach. That happens I will speak no more evil of him.

    Maybe. :Magic Brows:

    I mean if this truly does return us back to the top, it was worth it.

    I really hope that Mutombo tweet isn't true because now we have an even less likely chance to remain in the top 3 if #1 is already taken by the 76ers. Plus, they would be taking Ingram with that pick and I would definitely prefer him over Simmons.

    I'm going to go into the lottery with the mindset that we lose the pick so that if we do get it I'll be in utter elation!!!!! #simmonsingram

    Wait, why is anyone thinking Dikembe's tweet meant anything? The lottery drawing is literally taking place now as we speak. He didn't know anything when he tweeted hours ago. He even corrected himself with a follow-up tweet:

    That is his "Oh I F****** up" face. NBA doesn't televise the results till 5pm pct. But I'm sure 1-2 hours before that time the selections are in. I agree with you though because based on what ESPN tells us of the room where the ping pong balls are drawn they lock that place down and the people and PR guys watching inside that room have to give up their phones and can't leave the room, so how would he know.

    Honestly it would bother me much more if Dikembe said: "Congratulations 76ers on getting two top 5 draft picks!" That's the one I don't want to see. If they get the number one, so be it. I just don't want them to get our pick.
