Pacers win 3 in a row

The Sixers deserve mention in this conversation too. They were big loud about what they were doing, and their franchise star even gave himself his nickname around it. They thumbed their nose with their middle finger at the league and the league did NOTHING.

The NBA kind of forced out their general manager. I'm not sure that's "nothing."

There’s a >60% chance the Jazz lose the pick if they finish 8th-worst. They’re half a game away from that (where the Mavs are… we need to lose to them desperately).

Let Lauri get his All Star appearance and then sit his ahh out for the rest of the year, please Danny.

You have that backwards. We would have a 60% chance of keeping the pick at 8th worst record. We keep the pick of it ends up at 8.

Need to Lauri to take a fall in the Bulls game and fake a mcl sprain

Here's my power ranking for most motivation/least motivation in the tank race:
1. Washington - Bad Team, no All Stars, top 8 pick protected
2. Utah - Bad Team, top 8 pick protected, but at least we have Keyonte and Lauri
3. Brooklyn - Bad Team, Last year to get a good player, doesn't control future draft picks
4. Dallas - Last year to get a good player, doesn't control future draft picks
5. Indiana - Gap year
6. Sacramento - The team is a mess
7. Charlotte - Bad team, but on the rise
8. Memphis - Potentially Looking to rebuild
9. Portland - Trying to make playoffs, but also owe a top 14 pick
10. Chicago - Mid Team
11. Milwaukee - Trying to win for Giannis
12. NOP - Doesn't own their pick
13. LAC - Doesn't own their pick
14. ATL - Doesn't own their pick

It's bonkers stuff the team with the least incentive to lose is in last place.
