Holy high heck, if this is true[its on NBA TV], i hope there is no lotto protection on the Spurs pick next year!

repeat after me, "your 2004/2005 western conference chamions, your pheonix suns"

I don't think the Suns will win. The West is going to be very interesting. Poor Tim.

Does anyone know if that pick is lotto protected, for real?

I saw that before too Briggs, that's nuts. Wow, that really is too bad, I cant stand the Suns, I was hoping the Spurs would stomp all over them. Pray for that to be a lotto pick!!!!

there's no way they'll go from best record to the lottery with only 15games left but it should get us a higher pick!

nevermind we're talking about it impacting our pick next year!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!

assuming they dont improve the team so that they stay in contention til duncan returns.

but still a very good pick nonetheless. but i think he'll miss closer to 6 months than an entire year

The pick from the Spurs is for the 2006 draft. People are speculating that we could get a lottery pick if he misses a lot of time *next* season

read my post. it was edited a long time ago

Go Dallas!! Athlete for athlete, I think Daniels, Howard, Harris and Terry can match the quickness of Phoenix. If Finley has his legs under him, he's a big-time player. Dampier makes a big comeback in the playoffs and just grinds away at Amare. Dirk exposes all of Phoenix's defensive weaknesses. Even Tiny Keith comes bombing off the bench, raining 3's over that midget Richardson at the 3. I HATE Phoenix and can't wait to see them get handed their s**t in the playoffs!
