76ers did the same. It's wild Jared Butler was the best 76ers player tonight.
They fumbled their tank so badly. I feel super good about ours as I had predicted we would finish with the 3rd worst record.

NOP wins by 13
WAS loses by 8
NOP has effectively dropped out of the bottom 3 tank race. It's down to UTA, WAS, CHA.

Washington has 3 games against the Sixers and Nets, both of which are currently tanking as hard as anyone. I think if we lost the game against Washington we could have for sure finished with the worst record.

I thought 5th worst was the best we could hope for and honestly thought we would probably finish 7th worst.
Masterclass tank job by the jazz

The reality just sunk in that with a bottom 3 record almost guaranteed at this point, we almost officially have the best odds at landing Cooper Flagg and the best odds at landing Dylan Harper or landing a top 4 pick. As far as the high end outcome of what this draft could give us, we are currently at mission accomplished.
If you don't believe that there is currently a huge difference between the 5th and 6th pick (At worst we have a 7% chance at 7th), then the tank is already pretty much over. There really isn't anything to get too excited about at this point.

Based on the fact that Philadelphia 2025 draft pick is top 6 protected, and they are currently tied for the 5th worst record with the Nets, I don't think there is another team with more tanking incentive than Philly. If they don't stay ahead of the Nets in the tanking race, it only takes ONE team jumping them in the lottery to lose their pick. Fortunately for us, Washington plays them twice the remainder of the season.
Sixers and Wizards play tomorrow night.

That’s going to be a Wild, Wild, West level of a ****-show.

Bro, we're tanking and all of the players know they probably won't be on this team in like five years.

Sloan would not have put up with that effort. Guys would either be doing vicious pine or be spending time with the Stars.
