And Bryce lol
Tanking guide for the FO and Hardy:
- In a game we are >+10 - Lauri gets to play
- In a game we are < + 10 - Sit Lauri
- In a game we are 0 to negative odds - Sit Keyonte and Lauri
- In a game we are <-3.5 - Sit Keyonte, Lauri, and Hardy has to sit whoever is hot that day in the 4th quarter
Good news is that Sacramento doesn't historically tank on purpose, so they might not be sitting their guys as early as other teams.

I forgot that the Kings are the absolute dumbest franchise... so when they are sitting in a great position to do the right thing they have an unlikely 3 game win streak. We have two head to head games. We will see how it goes tonight but the Kings may end up saving us a spot. They also have the easiest schedule rest of the year.
I think the Kings/Pels have an outside shot at passing us.
Hornets likely pull past us but its not a guarantee.
Dallas likely out tanks us.
7th spot is still my prediction.

See my post I just made. I am just banking on their incompetence to get them back in this. Not sure we see Sabonis and Keegan is out again... I could also see them just buying out DeRozan at some point.
If we lose both games to them I think its possible.
Massive night for us. Losing to Dallas is a full 2-game swing. Hornets beat the Lakers. We are currently all alone at 6th.
We need to keep fending off the Mavericks and Hornets but if the Pelicans and Kings want to continue to win games that would be great.
If we finished 6th to end the year I would be extremely happy. Any lower than that and we’re walking a tight rope.

We have a beautiful slate tomorrow. Two “someone will win this game” games.

I’m not counting out the possibility of the Kings winning more than us because you can never assume they will do the right thing. They’re on a nice little in streak with the easiest schedule remaining. Wizards tomorrow for them.
I think I feel okay at 7 but 8 feels destined to be disastrous. In any event, I want to get as high in the draft order as possible.
If there’s a way we can help New Orleans or Sac with stuff that won’t concern us in a couple of years that should maybe be given extra thought.
