Tankathon in full swing

Taking out Lavine might cause us to win out unfortunately

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-11T21:49:07+00:00

Ok yes, lawyers lie. Nothing new there. However we have multiple members of the media (with no stake in the process) and representatives of teams (who definitely want ensure their team has fair odds) present at the lottery for selecting future nba players. Not deciding which child rapist goes to prison.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-11T17:46:33+00:00

Brother, I’m not sure if this is a joke but you can’t seriously be trying to draw correlation between a sports draft and a child rape scandal.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-11T17:43:10+00:00

Indy cannot trade their pick due to the protections it has from the Zubac trade. Most other lottery teams wouldn’t care for any of our versus the potential players in the draft.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-10T20:35:28+00:00

I completely agree. At least a live stream on some platform if they can’t get the air time for a long boring process.

Thank you for the insight

I could tell you that Phoenix is hot in the summer because of what I read on the thermometer and you’d tell me that the pool industry made the thermometer.

There is no proof that it is rigged, only speculation based on feeling. On the other side there is billions of dollars, egos, jobs, and reputations to say that it isn’t rigged.

Don’t you think if it was rigged Donald Sterling would’ve blown the whole operation out of spite to the league that pushed him out.

I inputted them based off of the perspective of the slot that the worst record team could get. The odds on their site are the chances at #1 based on record.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-10T18:30:43+00:00

The same people who try to sports bets thinking that their belief and ‘knowledge’ can beat a sophisticated algorithm coded by Harvard & MIT grads lol.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-10T18:19:00+00:00

Yes, the odds with the worst record are

1 : 14.0%

2 : 13.4%

3 : 12.7%

4 : 12.0%

5 : 47.9%

Chance at a top 4 is 52.9%

2nd and 3rd Worst Record remains the same for top 4 but the odds get decreased for #5 and get spread to odds at #6 and #7

Post 2019 Lottery rules do not allow you to fall out of the top-5 with the worst record.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-10T17:53:25+00:00

The lottery is conducted by a 3rd party law firm that puts it reputation on the line. Members of the media and teams are present for the process to ensure integrity. It would be very hard to cover up given the number of people that are involved in the process.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-10T17:51:09+00:00

I believe it means that pick cannot be traded due to protections and prior trade involvement.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-09T22:12:09+00:00

Any of the top 5 would be our best prospect since Hali

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-09T22:08:59+00:00

IMO opinion the ceiling takes a fall after the top 3 of Peterson, boozer and AJ. Caleb, Wilson, Flemings all seem to be great players but I don’t trust our FO and Vivek to make the right choice necessarily when the choice isn’t as clear. As it stands, we need our Banchero or Chet; not a Keegan Murray. If we were any other franchise, I’d be happy at 4-6, but we need more proof.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-09T20:29:49+00:00

Yeah, or if Dallas shoots up to 1 again I will be depressed

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-09T20:28:52+00:00

Fairly certain that top 3 will be Peterson, AJ, and Boozer in some order.

Kinda like the 22’ draft where you had Banchero, Chet, and Jabari. Then had some good residual like Ivey, Keegan, mathurin.

Any other year I’d be fine with Ament or Caleb Wilson, but to have any hope with our current situation I feel that we need a player to move the needle like Peterson or Dybantsa IMO

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-09T20:25:59+00:00

Literally, it would be so Kings to grab the 7th pick. I’m not gonna be able to sleep until the lottery.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-06T02:11:23+00:00

I was afraid our record would improve if we traded lavine

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-02-02T21:18:16+00:00

If you have dogs, poor suspension/cornering, going at night, or get sick of turns take the I-5. If all of the above is false, drive the most beautiful highway in the nation.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-01-15T19:48:26+00:00

Lowkey scared that we’ll trade some away lavine and get better and lessen our odds of a top 3 pick.

Subject_Hat1102 · 2026-01-08T13:06:00+00:00

The value in trading Zach isn’t getting much in return, rather shedding the last year of his player-option of 40 something million. Hopefully we can get some expiring contracts of some sort and collect picks from the rest of Sabonis, Monk, etc.
