He may get traded to the Lakers. That always seems to bring promising returns.

Need a GSW loss tonight. It’s not going to make this day better, but them winning will certainly make this day worse.

I’ve said multiple times that most GMs who have success attribute it to whatever formula they think caused it and then repeat that. With Ainge things just kinda “fell from the sky.” That happened to him twice and assumed he could walk in here and do the same.

Maybe but sometimes we get too lost on trying to find a model, when the real answer is playing the hand you’re given to the best of your ability. Unfortunately for us, we traded away three years ago because it wasn’t a straight flush.

A big part of my frustration is that this outcome isn’t foreign. Even without belief in shadiness, the odds would still be stacked significantly against us. But we chose this path intentionally. It’s easier in those moments to pretend a situation we’re in is unlikely to happen, but it’s actually...

Ah, yes. Here's the great part with that. Now the league can't take heat and needs to prove it's not rigged... by making sure the BYU guy doesn't go to the Jazz.

I alluded to this previously when I expressed doubt about getting the pick after being officially sanctioned by the league. I had mentioned that if all the teams that got official “sanctions” ended up moving back, that it would send a message and stop tanking. I don’t know if anyone else got...

Not sure why you think there are 14 lottery balls.

We’ve completely jettisoned every piece of the past sans Thurl, Booner, and Dan Roberts. Oh, you qualified it as “anything good.” No, not really.

You’ve also said that Epstein died by his own hand. There’s definitely a stigma associated with believing in a conspiracy and being associated with “teh stoopids” so much so that people gravitate to a form of hyperrationality.

If we got to the point where weren’t supporting a franchise, they’d be more than happy to oblige the move to a different market before thinking they needed to throw us a bone to keep afloat.

Obviously I wanted us to win and obviously I’m sitting on here for results, but I didn’t have nearly as much anxiety as I normally would. It’s kind of why I’m glad I’ve stepped back a large bit the past few years. We all love draft and the hopes of endless possibilities, but a bird in hand is...

I thought they were governors.

Whatever is going to happen has already happened. It’s over.

How much hype and commercial are we going to have to watch? Let's talk about the real odds. What are the odds they start reading the order before 5:20 pm mst?

This would have to be correct. Before getting to #5, this would only be unfolding one scenario. It changes the odds of eliminating other scenarios, but ultimately wouldn't tell us anything. Unless you play the odds of "this would have been a very odd scenario." Since the first drawing is the one...

Maybe. I'd have to think through it. In the Monty Hall problem, doors are revealed with purpose. Whereas with this, "doors" (so to speak) are revealed in a sequential order and without purpose, giving us some level of information that hasn't been filtered (only filtered in the sense of revealing...

The Monty Hall problem is my favorite educational piece that I keep repeating when analogizing it to statistical significance and publication bias (i.e. something that appears so [the appearance of statistical significance] but is not).

It's Log's lottery. We're 5th and the outside world is waiting to observe Log's observation.

Unfortunately true.
