Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

I think our other lottery pick was actually screwed by the Kyrie trade which removed one team that was locked to finish ahead of Minny...

If Mavs actually add defense at DL instead of subtracting it to bring in hot air we would have had one of Mavs/Clippers/GSW in the play-in tourney instead of OKC.

To be fair though GSW struggled against Minny a lot so could have still been the same result.
 
If you hold on to Mike and NAW they would have done the same thing to our pick instead of doing it for Minny.

Dallas should have made the play in… OKC was the worst possible matchup for Minny… zero quality bigs is a nightmare against this team.
Would be kinda cool if the minny pick was our lottery pick and we were in the playoffs doe. I wouldn't be mad about that.

Me neither. That’s essentially what guys are arguing when they say we shouldn’t have traded Conley to Minnesota though.

If Conley himself is worth 4 more wins than Russell out of 24 games (I don’t think he is) then the best their pick could have ended up is tied for 10th with Dallas. Plus our pick would be worse than 9th. We likely end up in a play-in game if we kept Conley.
So we get the 10th pick and 16th pick and we get to watch the jazz in the playoffs? I would take that. (of course we would not have the lakers pick which would sting a bit. But then we also have better players on our roster to make trades with in the off season or to help us win more next season too.)
