Sorry to put a damper on things, but:

Like nearly every post on the site, the Ortiz essay was not written directly by its bylined athlete but instead crafted from a recorded interview with a Tribune staff producer.

Isn't that the Players Tribune though? 

And anyway wasn't it common knowledge those pieces on the Tribune and that whatever site Randle's piece is on are typically written by some ghostwriter. 

A lot of the Player's Tribute pieces have a similar voice like it was written by the same or similar people 

. Just look at how some of these dudes write on twitter.

Played with the ESPN draft lottery thing...

Got sick when I saw this: View media item 1471173
Played a 5 times. Out of the 5 times I played we lost the pick once.

Smiled when I saw this one:
View media item 1471180

 

[ValarMorghulis]

I did it and got Mudiay at 3 more than anything else

*shrugs*

Wouldn't mind

Are we high on him or something? I got him more often than not when I played around with it.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

I think it's based on best player available based on Fords ranking.

My personal order:
1. Towns
2. Russell
2b. Mudiay
3. Okafor

I know if Okafor is there at #2-4 we'll take him for sure, but I think a great lead guard to pair with Clarkson is a MUST for the Western conference.

I'm so sick of having a trash PG

Maybe Poetl from Utah at #27

 

[essential1]

Maybe Poetl from Utah at #27

He's a late lottery pick.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Wishful thinking I know...

There isn't many Centers in the draft.

Smiled when I saw this one:

I've played with that thing a fair amount myself, pretty consistently 4/5 times we keep the pick. 80% coincides with the actual percentage, so I don't know why everyones saying we are going to lose the pick...now if we drop to 5th worse, thats another story

 

[essential1]

Why couldn't we just have given Kobe an even $40mil over 2 years

Every time I try to do something I end up $5mil short.

Not mad he got that money, it's just that last $8.5mil that really hurts.

-bean.

Oh..wait....

 

[essential1]

Not really a big deal... Ah well.

 

[pmatic]

 

[CHAOSE57]

Really hoping for Julius to be solid. I have faith in him.

 

[kal-el-8]

He sounds alot like Kobe. 

And I think E has been right, they woulda took Julius even if we got to 4. Maybe if we were at 3 they take Embiid. But I think Julius was there clear cut guy.

 

[pmatic]

I think it was between Gordon and Randle. At least that's the what the Backstage Lakers show depicted during the draft process.

 

[grandtheftbike]

I was surprised Orlando took Gordon tbh. Iirc, Vonleh was also a popular pick at 7

 

[pmatic]

He sure was.

 

[licensed to ball]

Everyone was on Vonlehs nuts.

What happened? Injury? Too raw?

too much hype on last years draft tbh.

So you're saying... Tanking didn't guarantee very much success from last years draft Huh?

Interesting
