Watch Jazz end up with the 6th pick and Wiz get Flagg

You know those are mutually exclusive outcomes, don't you? Can't have both.

Might actually watch the game now. Nice to see the young guys finally put together a winning game.

I don't really see a difference between finishing first or second. The worst case scenarios of 5 vs 6 don't sway me much. Not a huge difference there imo.

Blazers had this game won!!! Missed ft’s and a great look at a layup blown. This win felt like an act of God. If you were an atheist, you can no longer be so. We now have definitive proof there’s a god because we won this game.

So God hates the jazz, great.

But you did just see the difference.
If the team with the 6th pick in the draft were to call up the team with the 5th pick and offer to trade picks then the team with the 5th pick would definitely say no 100% of the time.

Don't be ridiculous please

We have all but iced 6th worst at the very least. I think management will quietly flex their muscles behind the scenes.

This post aged like the frumundha cheese in my undercarriage.

I guess I’m gonna hope we win tomorrow so there’s less pressure to tank the Timberwolves game?

I'm pretty sure that I'm with you in that I want to win regardless. Here is the math though, probably:

Win and you have a 20% chance at a 6th pick, but go from no chance to a slim change of the MIN pick in the lottery. Lose and you have a 10% chance at the 6th pick, no chance at the MIN pick in the lottery and move down from maybe 18 to 23.

Wow. Crazy.

Flip's game takes me back to when Haywood had that 34 point breakout game at the end of his rookie season.
