Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

Time to root for LeBron for the first time in my ENTIRE life.

Can't sorry, too much for me . I will root for AD, the less despicable LAkers for me .

I'm not buying the idea that Pacers can catch us so I will be rooting for Lakers and OKC today.

Dallas plays their next two games @MIA and @ATL back to back (Sat and Sun). They might get eliminated from the playoffs this week.

Do we need to worry about Dallas tanking their last 3? Isnt their pick traded with top 10 protection?

Yes, top ten protected. It seems like they would have far more to worry about from a Luka/Kyrie perspective if they missed the playoffs, so I doubt they tank

We definitely need to be worried. This becomes a who can tank best contest and we suck at that game.

I’ve been told several times we aren’t tanking… so we have no need to worry… other teams that are tanking will fall below us obviously… but management doesn’t care.

Hot take: We want the Mavs to miss the playoffs and keep their pick.

Reasoning: The Mavs get the 10th pick and are desperate. We trade them the Wolves pick and Sexton to move up to 10.

This will hurt them. Tonight’s game is huge but maybe this costs them the me close game. KAT won’t play back to backs. I think they have one left.

It’s not super hot… I had the same thought. Mavs and Wiz are the only teams I think would trade a top ten pick to move back to the Minny range and collect another player or asset.

Just can’t have them tank below us… but since we aren’t tanking it will happen.

Garza and Knight are pretty awesome 4th and 5th bigs.
