Don't worry guys... @Saint Cy of JFC has told us we will be the worst team in the league.

3rd worst point differential in the NBA

Are lotto odds based on point differential?

No, but it's a good predictor that we will continue to lose games

There’s no way the Pelicans can win tonight.

Been thinking through this; we don’t actually want Minnesota to do bad right now. Very low likelihood of hitting on the lotto and the worse they realistically do, the better the odds they can draft a difference maker.

They play us three times and the Bucks twice.

But none of this matters if we don’t tank hard enough.

Anybody they get at that range, even if they hit, wouldn't be a difference maker until after they expire their obligation to us. I would LOVE for them to throw a rookie into their rotation next year.
