orlando got dwight

 

[elcheato]

Almost positive the Nuggets had the best chances to get #1 in the 03 draft, and the Bobcats were an expansion team in the Dwight draft, so didn't they have the best chances?

I don't think Cleveland had the best odds that year?

 

[Pugz]

I think cheato's right.

 

[Mexi]

[Mexi]

Cleveland and Denver were both tied, but cleveland had te tie breaker and best odds
Orlando also had the best odds, but i think they could have been tied with charlotte i'm not sure

 

[VC15]

Hopefully the Nets get another top ten pick.

I want washington to get number 1. Can you imagine blake,antawn,hibachi and caron and nick young on the same team.

The Nets are already looking to contend for the playoffs next year even without a top three pick.
