Now hopefully by the time there’s a week left in the season, we guarantee we keep our pick. The Lakers lost tonight to the Pistons. That’s important because their next 3 games are:
* At the Pacers
* Home vs Brooklyn
* Home vs the Wizards
Had the Lakers won vs the Pistons tonight, I think the Lakers would have rested the likes of Luka, Lebron and AR for 2 if not all 3 of those games. But after that loss, and especially with the Pacers (their next opponent) winning, the Lakers are for sure playing most of their starters if not all of them vs the Pacers. They will have a shorter “rest” window of just 2 games before they play the Cavaliers at Home, and you know LeBron will probably play for that one.
I was worried that with them resting for 3 games that we would mess around and beat the Lakers in true trap game fashion because we play them March 30th and then they play the Cavs on the second night of a back to back, so they are obviously already looking toward that game, and a home-and-away vs OKC after that Cavs game, with a Mavs game sandwiched in between.
I think we can pull this off yall. Mess around and keep our pick and also get a guaranteed top 5 pick 🙏
I fully expect them to win another 2ish games at least this season; maybe more if Sac wins a couple more.
they traded away their downside part of their pick. so picks 1,2,3 have no difference for them and I’m sure a few wins will make the season feel better going into the offseason.
If us and the Pacers end with 16 wins, who would be considered worse (in terms of the draft order)?
