Give Me Your Lottery Top 3 Predictions, and Then Go Treat Yourself to a Nice Meal

Tortured logic

*The table is not adjusted for tiebreakers. #4 and #5 would be virtually even in terms of winning a top-3 pick, although Utah has one additional ping-pong ball due to the uneven number of chances when combining 4/5 and dividing by 2.


So here's my "flawed logic" prediction:

1. Teams slotted 6-14 stay the same as they have the highest percentages for finishing at their respective spots.
2. Boston at #5 won't drop to #6 (as #6 has a higher chance of finishing there) nor will they stay at #5 as #4 has a higher percentage of finishing #5. So Boston lost the coin flip battle, but they win the war as they're going to jump.
3. Utah at #4 has the highest chance of finishing at #5, so Utah drops a spot.
4. Milwaukee has the highest single likelihood of finishing at #4. Sorry, Bucks.
5. So now we have Orlando, Philly and Boston left as the lotto teams.
6. Milwaukee already dropped to #4, so next likeliest spot for Orlando is #1. By same logic, Philly gets the #2 slot and Boston, by default, is left with the #3 position.

To recap:
1. Orlando
2. Philadelphia
3. Boston
4. Milwaukee
5. Utah
6-14. (No change from pre-lottery positions).

Calling that "flawed logic" is an insult to flawed logic everywhere.

Yes, they do. They are currently sitting at #2 and #10 and are sending Dr. J as their rep to the drawing.
Used to be known as the Sixer's until the league mandated a name change due to their play during the just concluded season.

Idgaf's tenth pick is top 5 protected.

Lakers - pick Exum
Jazz - Pick Embiid
Orlando- wants Embiid -they trade #3 pick and their other lotto pick #7
Jazz trade second pick - their 23rd and 35th pick and get Wiggins and either Gordon, Smart or Vonleh at 7.

Rotation of PG -Burke/Smart/Neto

SG- Hayward/Burks/Smart
SF- Wiggins/Hayward
PF- Favors/Kanter
C- Kanter/Gobert

Tough crowd.
Obviously it was all just for fun. Aren't we all entitled to have a little bit every now and then?

Excuse me for not clearing my joke with you first. I should have fact-checked before posting. Clearly, idgaf.
