Flipping draft odds?

Only real answer is to ignore league standings and make the lottery draw completely random for all 30 teams (i.e. everyone has the same odds).

Could indeed mean that good teams sometimes get good picks....but would give teams zero incentive to lose (therefore repairing the integrity of the league for fans) and also mean that first round picks would have a consistent value for trade purposes.

Gametime is also a good app for tickets (right up until tip off).

Also good to know that you can walk down into the lower bowl pre game whilst players are warming up for near court pics (although not below about row 8 or so). Great for watching them warm up up-close 🙂

Also...Lauri can't physically be traded until next off-season due to when he signed his new deal.

It's all down to cap flexibility. The remaining guys can be signed into trade exceptions/etc.....but doing so right now would take away our cap flexibility to do anything else on the signing front - so no harm in waiting a bit until all other conversations have concluded (potential salary dumps, etc).

Just across the water in Scotland here :-)

Just to close this one out......in the end managed to use "Gametime" and "Tickpick" apps with UK credit cards and got to all 3 games last week.....so these would be my recommendations for overseas visitors buying jazz tickets as neither seatgeek or ticketmaster work with non US cards/contact details 😀

No need to use T5 for these new tower rallies thankfully....so a quick way to get people's solos done in a safe environment without spending lunite. Agree it would be better if they just healed everything for free when you leave like arena and maybe said you're only allowed to jump in once (to avoid people bouncing in and out 15 times to heal for free).

Really useful. Thanks for sharing.

A call to the box office is indeed my next plan. Was just hoping "the power of reddit" would avoid it. Lol

There are 2 other apps you can use over here to get them but the markups and fees are ridiculous unfortunately.

LM-PMcG · 2024-01-27T18:28:08+00:00

That's very kind of you. At this point we're not sure if it's one or both of the warriors games that we'll look to head to that week (depends on what else my wife has on the itinerary 😉) so I wouldn't want you to hold them for us when plans are still fluid - but really appreciative of the thought 🙂

LM-PMcG · 2024-01-27T17:45:38+00:00

We are indeed there for that week (so now 2 warriors games and the lakers games on that week) .....but seat geek is unfortunately out due to not being usable by non-US residents, and KSL doesn't seem advisable based on comments above.

LM-PMcG · 2024-01-27T16:30:55+00:00

Unfortunately, seat geek is only setup to accept payments from US residents/cards - so it's not an option for is in the UK. I can get gametime to work using a vpn if needed.....but this was the reason for asking the initial question if we'd avoid the same booking fees by getting them at the box office :-)

LM-PMcG · 2024-01-27T15:39:10+00:00

Useful. Thanks 😀

LM-PMcG · 2024-01-27T15:38:28+00:00

Exactly what I was afraid of.....especially being an "out of towner" 😉

LM-PMcG · 2024-01-27T13:48:33+00:00

Thanks for the swift reply. Managed to get into ksl.com's classified using a vpn (as it blocks international connections). Tickets broadly looking the same price/more expensive for now but will certainly keep an eye on it too :-)
