From Brian Lewis: “In each of the six seasons since the league office flattened the lottery odds, the team with the worst record has yet to win the lottery and pick first.” Top three yes, but overall No. 1? No.

As long as we get a top 5 pick, I’m chilling.
people keep saying this but dont bring up the fact that the team with the worst record in the league is guaranteed a top 5 pick, being 2nd worst guarantees a top 6 pick etc
What would it take to move up if we’re within top 10 but want to move into top 5
As long as we are in the top 5 (record wise) that’s all that matters
Overall as long as we have the top 2 picks I’m a happy man.
Flagg or Bailey. The that’s all I want.
I wouldn’t be upset with Harper but we really could use Flagg or Bailey.
This is bad logic though because the top 3 picks each have an equal chance to land the #1 pick.
If anything, it means that by the law of averages it’s more likely the worst team will land the #1 pick every year until they do
Edit: I stand corrected!
Yeah we’re not tanking for Flagg tho we’re trying to get into that top 5/6
Hope the Nets don’t get screwed like the Pistons did last year. Looking more at a Hawks type situation where they missed out on the playoffs-in but got the #1 pick.
I mean, just need to hit top 5 for it to be worth the bet. Obviously Flagg would be the ultimate prize, but can’t totally expect the number 1 pick
