The Playoffs have started, and with this kind of first night, you almost forget that the Draft Lottery takes place in two short days. In this regard, the Kings, who ended up tied with the Pelicans, won the draw against New Orleans. Sacramento’s biggest win this year?
This kind of information that does good in Northern California (it doesn’t take much…). After missing their recovery at Mickey, the Kings logically missed the Playoffs, as did the Pelicans, with both teams finishing with a similar record of 28 wins and 36 losses. Head for the pre-Lottery draw. Goal ? Determine who from Sac-Town or from NOLA will leave with a very slightly better chance (1.3% against 1.2, you never know, on a misunderstanding …) of being awarded the first choice of the 2020 Draft during the NBA Annual Lottery August 20. Performed by a bailiff, the result was published on the NBA official website : victory of the Kings, undoubtedly the most important of the season, aims the size of the failure … Well, that does not seem like nothing, but it allows, despite everything, Sacramento to sweeten (very little) a summer that smelled good the pantyhose. With the announcement of the rising influence of Joe Dumars in the decisions of the franchise and the recent resignation of Vlade Divac, we would even dream: selecting a guy who knows how to play basketball in the Draft, it would be incredible no ?
What if that was a sign before Thursday’s Lottery? What if ping-pong balls smiled at the California franchise like the Pelicans did last year? That would make it possible to recover a promising youngster and add him to a workforce that only asks to progress. Only, to consider a job of improving the Kings, it is first necessary that the decisions from above are a chouilla coherent, such as for example choosing a Luka Doncic in front of a Marvin Bagley when necessary, and the simple mention of those two names are enough to bring up tears among Sacramento fans. It’s okay, they can wipe them off with the handkerchiefs they now buy in batches to secretly cry at night thinking about the situation of their favorite team. Joking aside, also know that in the other tiebreaker between Oklahoma City, Houston and Utah, it was OKC who won the bet ahead of the Rockets and the Jazz.
Okay, it’s not very hot news, but for the Kings it’s always positive news, so it’s well worth talking about. Now, we will have to play on this capital advantage taken on the Pelicans (lol) and cross our fingers to recover something other than crumbs when the time for the Draft comes.
