What does everyone think of how the lottery shaped out last night?

Personally, I don't like that Durant and Oden will more than likely be headed out west.

Its Ok, Oden Sucks, Horford is better... and it looks like most the Gators will be in the east so that makes me feel better :D

For the last six months, I've been reading Bill Simmons' pinings over either Oden or Durant on the Celtics for next year so I've been laughing my butt off for the last 12 hours or so. :lol:

Tanking all of those games in Boston paid zero dividends except to tick off the fanbase anymore.

Jeff Van Gundy stated down here before he got shipped out that every team should be int he lottery to keep teams from tanking. I actually like the idea.

Or....Give the team who just finished 9th in the conference the better odds of gaining the best percentage of the balls. That way a team who worked hard but fell a bit short gets rewarded. Just a thought.

I think Portland may go for Durant, considering they just drafted Alderidge last year.

A young core of Roy, Durant and LA could be downright nasty.

Oden...and then they will get rid of Zach Randolph...

Nobody wants Zach Randolph. They've been trying to get rid of him for two seasons now. If Oden fell to Seattle, they'd need a new pair of pants.
