Isn't Jefferson one of the top 5 centers in the league? He's in his prime too. I wouldn't just trade him for a pick. I know he's a bit of a ball stopper still, but so is Kanter, and Kanter doesn't look ready yet.

The guy just had 30/11 and 5 blocks on 70% shooting the other night. When Kanter does something close to that, maybe we can say we don't need him.
 
NJ has shut down Lopez for the rest of the season.

Also, the Kings have been mathmatically eliminated from the playoffs. As of right now, there are only 5 teams that can really ruin our lives. We can afford to have one of those teams slip behind GS, but that's it. After looking at schedules, I'd say we have pretty slim odds of hanging on to that pick. For those of you wanting to avoid depression, I'd advise not looking at schedules for the 5 life ruining teams.

Keep talking. I like the sound of your e-voice.

I like Jeff but I won't call him top shelf just for taking a dump all over Jeremy Tyler. That kid is teh suck. Gritty to come back and finish the game though. Tough guy move. Say what you will about Al, he is so much more easy to root for than Booze was.

Golden State is such a tease. Up at the half.

I know--up by seven at the half. If they could pull this out tonight, it would be huge (move up and beat Denver all at once). I think that if they get two more wins this year, we will get the pick, but who knows; the fricking Pistons and Raptors are peaking right now, the swine.

I know, sadly it kind of throws you off when you see a bottom dweller trying so hard. Stop it Detroit.
 
I'm sure it has been mentioned, but if there is a tie does it go down to record vs. or automatic coin toss for the lottery position?

It's actually slightly more arcane.

"In the event that teams finish with the same record, each tied team receives the average of the total number of combinations for the positions that they occupy. In 2007, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Portland Trail Blazers tied for the sixth worst record. The average of the 6th and 7th positions in the lottery was taken, resulting in each team getting 53 combinations (the average of 63 and 43). Should the average number not be an integer, a coin flip is then used to determine which team or teams receive the extra combination(s). The result of the coin flip is also used to determine who receives the earlier pick in the event that neither of the tied teams wins one of the first three picks via the lottery."
 
What he asking about how the lottery itself works, though, or how the draft works for teams that are picking in the lottery positions (but not one of the top 3 spots)?
