I actually think that the T-wolves are going to be pretty decent this year. Adleman will get that group to respectability.
Who will have a worse record than the Warriors?

Bobcats-Kemba may be ROY, but wins will be hard to come by
Cavs-
Nuggets-they have like 6 players on the roster.
Raptors-Hornets
Suns--Nash is old, the others are role players.
Wizards--Wall & Anderson could carry them to some easy wins
Wolves (Unless one of the rookies suprise)
Pistons Lawerence Frank wears on players

so if i get the rule of GS pick
in best scenario we have to choose 7 teams worst than GS to take their pick- am I right????
bobcats, cavaliers, pistons, raptors, FOR SURE
nuggets if Nene go
wolves they will certainly be better but not 20 games.
wizards and kings hope one of them
and with 8 pick in 2012 draft UTAH JAZZ select Michael Kid-Gilchrist best defensive SF in draft Corbin type player I hope again

I think the Jazz are in pretty good shape to get the GSW pick this year.
Pistons, Raps, Bobcats, and Cavs are all worse IMO.
NO simply doesn't have enough time to put a team together to start getting wins, and I don't think Paul has much patience left to help them. He also lost his best weapon in David West, so the next best player is Okafor. Otherwise they need to add 7 players in the next few weeks, and don't seem to have anyone wanting to go there who is worth a damn. I also think they move Paul midseason and tank away the last few months of games.
Denver is in a terrible position as well. Half their team is in China, they are banking on Andre Miller to carry them, and their go to scorer is Gallo. That is going to be a team that plays hard, but won't get many easy wins.
The Wizards are still too young in my opinion, Wall is good, but I don't really believe in his supporting cast, neither Blatche or McGee are winners IMO, and Vesely won't help right away.
The. You have a whole slew of teams like the Bucks, Jazz, 76ers, Kings and Suns who are a bad stretch or two away from landing in the top 6 of the lottery, and it's bound to happen to one of them.
I actually think coming down to the end of the season the Jazz will likely be in a weird situation where we might be the deciding factor on getting the GSW pick depending on how poorly we finish out the last few weeks of the year. Our head to head match ups could be important for a tie breaker if our records are similar.

When I look at GSW, I see a complete disaster. I don't see how anyone sees anything different. There is a real chance this pick either doesn't happen (too ****ty in consecutive years), or GSW is very poor this year and coupled with a nice rookie or two in the draft and some team building (trading Monta Ellis for a not total piece of ****) have a decent yearand the Jazz are left with something in the late teens in a depleted draft.
Oh well, We'll see how it goes. My vote is still to trade Harris, GS pick, and something else nice (that's not one of the untouchable 4) for Jrue Holiday and Nocioni. Even though Philly is probably a lot smarter than that.

Speaking of which... eh??? eh???
So this is the thing I can never remember for some reason. Its not how they finish pre-lottery but it's their spot AFTER the lottery process is complete, correct? i.e. if they are the 3rd worst team in the league but they drop to 8th in the lottery, we would get the pick, is that right?

Pretty sure you can only drop 3 spots, but otherwise yeah, what NUMBERICA posted. With that said, rarely does a team in the 5th position drop 3 spots, so I think that realistically we could only get lucky with 7th place. If GS is the 6th worst team in the league this year, I don't think we have much of a chance. I would love to trade this pic and Harris for Holiday, I just don't see that happening.

Well, that's statiscally impossible.
But yes, you are correct. We could be jumping for joy if they finish at #8 and then see them move up to one of the top-3 picks after the lottery. It's a crap shoot with the condensed schedule. Teams could struggle early, or veteran-laden teams could start off hot. Or, with so many games close together, veteran teams without depth could be at a real disadvantage. I could see the Lakers AND Heat finish with unimpressive records, then really turn it on for the playoffs.
The odds are that if the Warriors finish with the 7th worst record, the Jazz will get their pick. The Warriors could get the 6th worst record, and there would be an okay chance that one team lower than them would jump them in the lotto and push them back to the 7th spot. However, the best would be for them to finish 7th or 8th from the bottom.
More realistically, I think they'll chase for the playoffs and end up picking in the 10 - 12 range. If they literally had the 7th worst record in the league, I think they would probably try to tank towards the end of the season to get in the draft.
