S6 Ep57: This Draft Lottery changed the NBA. Here's how each team has to respond.

Listen Later

The NBA Draft Lottery just reshuffled the league. Washington wins the number one pick, the Pacers watch their selection land at five and walk away with nothing, and there is a legitimate argument that Indiana still got the better end of the Zubac trade. Mo and Coach Brendan Suhr go pick by pick from 1 through 14 and break down what it means for every franchise heading into the summer.

Plus: the Giannis trade situation is coming to a head before the draft, the Knicks are playing the best basketball in the East right now, James Harden saved the Cavaliers in game three without once checking his phone, and Wembanyama gets himself ejected at the worst possible moment in a tied series.

Listen or watch and let us know what you think.
