NBA draft draw caused trouble: The Lakers send the No. 1 pick again, all the bad teams run with each other, the Rockets are happy

On May 13, the 2025 NBA lottery ceremony has all ended, and several companies are happy and sad, but the overall result has been beyond many people's expectations, but after careful consideration, you can find a trace of logic, as if everything is arranged, which further solidifies the essence of the business alliance. Let's first look at the situation before the lottery:

After reading the prediction of the lottery position based on the record, let's take a look at the actual results:

One hand of the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% probability, creating the fourth lowest in history. This year's Mavericks fans' mood can be said to be a roller coaster, from the time they obtained Clay to the total The champion's vision, to the entire network abuse when trading Doncic, to the despair when the injury was full of injuries, and finally the turn of the game was to draw the No. 1 pick almost locked in Flag, with ups and downs and downs. Now it seems that Doncic's trade may have the league's help. After all, from the time of judging, this deal was completely unreasonable, but if there was Flag in the chips, everything would make sense. At the beginning, the Lakers' trade with the Thick Brow also helped the Pelicans get the No. 1 pick. The league's own son was a real hit, and they didn't act anymore. They revitalized the Lakers in one go, and also gave the Mavericks enough compensation. Of course, the Mavericks did have a way to cultivate talented rookies, which was indeed a good starting point for the Son of the United States.

Spurs were the second best, and were favored by the league for three consecutive years, showing that the league recognized it. After all, the progress of Wenban Yama and Castle is obvious to all, and they have outstanding ability to cultivate rookies. Their record is mainly due to Wenban Yama's injury, and they have no intention of playing bad things. The competitiveness of its team has begun to take shape. In time, it will inevitably return to the top team and earn more attention for the league. At the same time, the Spurs also have the 14th pick this year, which is the second biggest winner.

76ers, for the 76ers, this season, they lost all the game. They had a lot of money to form the Big Three, but they rarely appeared at the same time due to injuries. The salary space exploded. If this year's draft pick is not included in the top six, it looks like there is no future. At this time, the league took action. A top three pick can undoubtedly win a team's core player for the draft year. After Embiid and George's contracts expire, they can rise again. Everything is the best arrangement.

However, there are winners and losers. The top three teams with the probability of being the top three. The Jazz, Wizards and Hornets all missed the No. 1 pick and the top three picks. The Hornets won the fourth pick, the Jazz won the fifth pick, and the Wizards won the sixth pick. How can you make sense? Since the Jazz sent away Mitchell and Gobert to rebuild, they have never won the real team core in recent years. They won George, Hendricks, and Collier in a position that is neither up nor down, they all seem to be useless. This year, they are finally completely out of place, only the fifth pick. Think about who was the last Jazz's high-ranking All-Star? Anyway, I was completely useless, and the Midfielder King was only 13th pick. After the Hornets won Ball and Miller in succession, they were already among the bad teams, which completely made the league lose patience. Of course, it is acceptable to win the fourth place. As for the Wizards? It is the worst team, but the Eastern Conference ranked last and only ranked sixth. It is also full of high-ranking signs. It is better to train Saar, Kulibaly and Carrington with peace of mind.

Pelicans won the seventh pick, and they are also the Jokers. They are also forced to play badly due to injuries this year. The team is full of talents and should not be in such a position. The current result is of course disappointing enough, which makes the team lose a choice and can only continue to require the healthy way of Fat Tiger or trade to get the maximum bargaining chips. The Nets ranked eighth in the lead, Flag was the most likely to be the next player at the beginning of the season. He hyped up a season of light speed reconstruction. At the current eighth in the lead, the big city teams may not be lucky. Of course, the Nets themselves are not good at it. They can clearly play badly but keep winning, and now they can only continue to play badly. The Raptors have won the ninth pick, and have won the team for many years. With the Canadian Debff, it is difficult to win the league. There is nothing to say, and I can't grasp it even if I give you a Barnes.

Rockets ranked tenth, the Texas Brothers Mavericks and Spurs became big winners, and the Rockets lost the only one, even lost one more than predicted. Of course, they were both lower than the probability of winning the top four last year, and the probability of winning for two consecutive years is not high. After all, it is not a big market. In addition, the team has too many talent, so it is really impossible to cultivate one. It is not a good idea to choose one and fight, but it lacks some trading value. But no matter what, the Suns are the biggest loser, after all, they are the other person's sign, so they are content.

The Trail Blazers are ranked 11th in the 19th pick, and they are also an old-fashioned team, but they have played competitively this season. It seems that they are well versed in the league and know that playing is useless. Of course, there are indeed many people in the team that need to be trained, and they can still be expected in the future. The two playoff teams, the Bulls and the Hawks, are also acceptable in this position. Among them, if the Hawks draw the top 12, they still need to give it to the Kings, and the ending is even the best now.

Now it seems that the league is intentionally resisting playing bad teams. In order to improve the excitement of the league, the Spurs, Mavericks, and 76ers are all big winners, and playing bad teams all become clowns. Now the result has made the essence of the business league more exposed. The draft is just a form. League executives adapt to the situation according to the league pattern. Although the Lakers did not get high signs, they inevitably gave away the No. 1 picks in succession.
