Summary

Then, we recap Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, in which Steph Curry was dominant and the Warriors of old routed the Trail Blazers (43:34). Finally, we wonder whether Toronto has run into LeBron 2.0 in Giannis Antetokounmpo (47:45). Hosts: Danny Chau, Jonathan Tjarks Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Hey, it's Liz Kelly and welcome to the Ringer Podcast Network.
0:04.3	Before you get to the show, make sure you check out the Ringer.com for our extensive NBA playoff coverage leading up to the NBA finals.
0:11.3	Also look out for a 2019 NBA draft guide, which now features 50 of Kevin O'Connor's scouting reports.
0:17.9	The draft guide has a first round mock draft, big board rankings from our draft experts like Jonathan Charx and Danny Chow,
0:24.0	and much more to come leading up to the draft itself on June 20th.
0:27.8	Once again, check out the Ringer's 2019 NBA draft guide and all of our NBA coverage over on the Ringer.com.
0:46.4	Welcome to the Ringer NBA show. This is a long-to-adition of the corner three.
0:49.9	My name is Danny Chow. I'm an associate editor for the site.
0:52.8	Joining me from Dallas is Ringer Stafford at our Jonathan Charx. How's it going, man?
0:56.5	Good, man. I'm excited to talk draft. I think KOC is currently flying back from Chicago, right?
1:01.6	Is that right? He couldn't make it for the pod. He's flying back out of Chicago from the NBA draft lottery last night
1:07.9	after being sequestered into a room with 11 other NBA writers without access to a cell phone for two hours.
1:15.1	Sounds like my worst nightmare. Danny, he's had a wasack low now. He doesn't need a time for us.
1:19.9	Pod about our low-wing quarter. Now the long-to pod.
1:24.1	I think that's where we should start. Tuesday's NBA draft lottery was basically everything the NBA had hoped for with the flattened odds.
1:31.9	It was chaos. There were so many fan bases calling it rigged. It hurt me a little. Given how much I appreciate tanking and how much I think it's a necessary evil with the way the NBA system is run.
1:45.6	But I can't really deny the last night was truly high drama.
1:50.6	It was definitely dramatic for sure.
1:53.0	I think we'll just kick this thing off with a deep dive of maybe the first six teams picking in the draft lottery and kind of work from there.
2:02.0	I think there's plenty of time to talk draft now. We might as well go deep as deep as we can.
2:07.1	Yeah, for sure. I mean, I'm a conspiracy guy, but I will admit Zion going to the pells. That's not it.
2:13.5	I mean, if they were ever going to fix a draft, this would be the draft to fix. I guess they don't do that anymore.
