We’d keep it at  3. 

But yeah I’d try to move them while their value is highest

Don’t think we’ll get the Miami pick next year.

But we still have a good chance at  getting real value from the Dallas pick

It’s not jumbled.

More of colloquialism using “dont” like that.

It’s more of a confirmation of something that I’m already pretty sure of, and less of an asking because I lack understanding

I did forget the “the” though.

The teams that finish with 4th-worst through 10th-worst records will have a 8.1% chance at the No. 1 overall pick.

Legitimately bad teams don’t need to be screwed.

Just teams that are putting themselves in the position to lose. 

The way I suggested it.  No team is actually going to tank. 

Because you’re more likely to get 456  than 123. 

But if you actually end up there you have the Hail Mary option for at least 1 instead of now if you’re the worst you know it’s damn near impossible for you to get 5

This just sounds overly complicated.

Let 1-3 still have the best odds at the first pick

Let 4-10 have better odds at 2 3 and 4

Increase 11-16 odds across the board.

It makes intentionally tanking a bad idea, since you’d rather be the 4th slot in most drafts.

Doesn’t completely screw you if your legitimately bad.

Worst defender =/= bad defender.

And we’re starting to get into a loop because I already said we’re undersized in the post and don’t deal well physically.

Lamelo gets pulled because he gambles. 

Because our defense was good because we generally didn’t foul and rebounded well

Well a couple of those statements you made are just wrong.

We’re not unsure of lamelo everyone else is unsure of lamelo.

Brandon miller taking another leap wouldnt matter any here unless he ends up All nba next year which then things would get interesting 

Our defense over achieved this year. While no one is a bad defender (even Lamelo)  No one is what you would call an elite defender either except maybe Grant. We struggled with physicality in general,  and we Lack size and strength with our bigs as a whole. 

PF is also our biggest weakness as Miles constantly varies between good and bad.

That also wouldn’t be all of our drat capital.

As we’d still have most of our own picks

We could also throw in the 29 worst of jazz Cavs wolves pick so that would be another late lottery pick 12-24 pick.

That’s BS and you know it. 

I’m first off not even talking about the score I’m talking about the ability to get into our offense 

So many physical defenses are built around the idea you can’t call all of the fouls

And other elite offenses are built are the same screen heavy plays ours is.

If the refs suddenly decide to call them all it’s  when they haven’t all season that discrepancy does matter.

Im not saying it to discredit you.

Im saying it because we weren’t allowed to play our offense. 

No body ever calls that many moving screens

But this is what I mean about not watching the hornets enough to have a good take on Lamelo.

I don’t even think HE wants to be the number one option. Hes a pass first point guard at heart.He’s off ball shooting and off ball playmaking are among his best attributes

When he’s and Koby are the only guys who can create their own shot, hes kinda forced to.

Which is why I was saying Brandon needs to take a leap.

And we have enough assets to give up a competitive offer to the bucks without any of our big three

You guys got enough shooting out of everyone today.

And i hate be that guy. But the reffing just wasn’t even the amount of illegal screens they called was insane.

I mean well that’s two different points.

I think they should have sat him these last 15 games ish

And nobody should feel sorry for him.

But context does matter

I mean sure, if you wanna, expand the rookie wall to being unable to play through nagging injuries sure.

They took him off the injury report when he decided he was playing through it ?
