The NBA playoffs are still underway, but the league is also preparing for this year's offseason draft. Now that the draw has officially ended, it is also quite interesting. For these teams who didn't make the playoffs, it's an opportunity to step up. So after the NBA Draft draw is over, who are the winners and who are the losers? The NBA lottery ended, there were 2 winners and 4 losers, 3 teams ran for 1 year, and 1 team worked for the Rockets.
Winner one, the Eagles. The Eagles got this year's No. 1 pick and can be said to be the biggest winner. Why? First, they need to rebuild, and they need a high pick, even though it's a small year for the draft. Second, the Eagles only had a 3% chance of getting the top pick, but the Eagles still got the top pick. In this regard, it is also quite good. Just see who the Eagles will pick, which is also a test of the team's vision.
Winner two, Rockets. The Rockets can be said to have picked up a third-round pick for nothing. As we all know, when the Nets traded with the Rockets, the first-round picks were swapped. Now that the Nets' draft pick has been given to the Rockets, the Rockets naturally laugh at it, thanks to the Harden trade, thanks to Harden. However, it is foreseeable that the Rockets may trade this draft pick, because there are too many young people on the team, and if they are used for their own draft, they will really not be able to cultivate it at that time.
Loser one, Nets. I have to say that the Nets are a team, they don't want to open up for a whole season, in fact, they don't want to work for the Rockets, but in the end they still work for the Rockets. The Nets and Rockets swapped draft picks, which was also quite helpless. Sometimes that's it, when you swap picks, you know it's going to happen. I have to say that the manager who invented the swap of draft picks is definitely a genius and is really exploiting the loopholes in the rules.
Loser two, Spurs. The Spurs have been on the Spurs side for a whole season, and they have a 10.5% chance of getting the top pick, but in the end they didn't get the top three draft picks, so it can be said that they have been running for a year. In fact, think about it, how can the league give a team a high draft pick in a row. The Spurs have already got an important cornerstone last year, and if they have three consecutive top-three picks, it will be too much to say. On the other hand, the Spurs may be able to pick up the leaks.
Loser three, Pistons. If you want to say that the Spurs are running with you, in fact, the Pistons are the biggest runners. With a 14% chance of picking the first pick, the Pistons only got the fifth pick. It was difficult for the Pistons to win the regular season, in fact, they were signed for the top pick, and they were sent away with the 5th pick. This also tells many teams in the league that want to swing, even if you are the team with the worst record, you may not be able to get the top pick, but the league will reward those who don't.
Loser four, Trailblazers. The same is true for the Trail Blazers, who have a 13.2% chance of picking the top pick, and the results are even more staggering, with the Trail Blazers only getting the 7th pick. In fact, the situation of the Trail Blazers and Hornets was similar, and the Hornets only got the 6th pick. The teams with the greatest probabilities have basically become chaperones. There is no way around it, and the signal from the league is already clear that there will be fewer swings expected next season.
Anyway, it's quite interesting that this year's draft draw is over. The alliance has already made a move, which will also affect the next opening pattern.
