Spurs have been in 8 lotteries and won 3. Not only did they win 3 but all of them had off the charts talent waiting to be taken #1. The Admiral. Timmy D, and now Wemby. Talk about lucky.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have been in the lottery 17 times and have NEVER moved up, but have moved down 7 times for a total of 13 picks lower.
Maybe you should ask, why have you been in the Lottery 17 times. Ginobili, Parker, and Kahwai were not lottery picks and all will be in the HOF
I have never been in the lottery. But to re-direct your off-topic comment to make it relevant to this thread, I assume you're saying that the Spurs would have won all their titles without Duncan or Robinson? Interesting notion. Not sure I would agree with that.
Sorry, Dallas not you. My point is, the Spurs would potentially only have 1 title if they didn't draft 3 HOF players outside of the lottery draft. Tony Parker 28th, Manu Ginobili 57th, and they moved up for Kahwai Leonard at 15th by trading a fan favorite player.
