Since the actual drawing for draft positioning will happen off camera before the show and each team will have a representative observe the drawing, I wonder if Rob Pelinka will be able to get the word/verdict out to Magic via some kind of head-set or carrier pigeon ( ) before the actual televised show even happens?

I wonder if the reps in front of the cameras already know the outcome before the actual show happens. Be interesting to see facial expressions that might tip us off?


No, can't happen.

Maybe the Lakers can construct a bobble head of Byron Scott representing at the Lottery for Magic to place next to him while representing at the Lottery.

Our top pick in this draft is only top-3 protected. If it falls out of the top 3, we lose the pick to Philly.

You are guaranteed at best (if you're in the bottom 3), your position + 3.

So worst record is guaranteed a 4th pick or better.

2nd is at least a 5th pick.

3rd is at least a 6th pick.

The pick belongs to Philly, we only get it back if it is top 3.

with Magic being our rep there I'm feeling good vibes, we are going to keep this pick and I won't be surprised if we luck out and get #1 overall.

That's ballsy. His image could take a hit if we lose it. I wonder what would he tweet then. Should be entertaining.

NBA isn't going to screw Jeannie/Magic with egg on their face on Draft Night. Can you dig it?

Byron knew ahead of time one of those years. He even gave a wink at the camera when all the picks up to #4 were selected and they went to a commercial break.

I have a bad feeling about this...










When someone high profile shows up, things are bound to go bad.

We will lose the pick. But I would love to be wrong.

His smile will disarm everyone at the draft while his killer instinct will crush their souls. They will have no choice but to give us a top 3 pick.

Number 1 is ours. No way Silver makes Magic sad on live TV.


Correct.

We already were getting the 1st pick before this news regardless. It will be official on May 16th.
