Crazy that Atl won the lottery from the 10 spot.
The #9 team also won and moved up to #3 (Houston) with the Nets 1st from the James Harden trade.
So the Nets have ended up trading away 3 different top-3 picks in the last 10 drafts.
Billy King traded away a bunch of 1sts/swaps for 36 year old Paul Pierce and 37 year old Kevin Garnett who helped the Nets win 1 playoff round. Those picks ended up giving Boston a #3 overall and #1 overall pick. Plus a #8 that was traded the prior year to Cleveland to get Kyrie.
Now the James Harden trade has resulted in one of those Nets picks turning into a top 3 pick for the team who got it.
(honorable mention that Billy King also traded away a future 1st the year before the Garnett/Pierce trade for a 30 year old broken down Gerald Wallace who played 1 season for the Nets with like 7 pts, 4 rebs a game) That future 1st? Turned into the #6 pick in the draft for Portland who took Damian Lillard.
