    Miami may rest their starters vs Magic as well. That’s a wrap. Pick is likely #19 or #20.

    Clips and Warriors will win with their opponents "resting" their players.

    Clips have the tiebreaker over the Warriors, so they will officially be the 5th seed and the 20th pick.

    At least we will know one of the picks.....now just hoping we lose tomorrow and the ****ing Spurs win to at least guarantee the worst - 6th pick.

    Tiebreakers on the standings have no impact on draft positions. They will be decided by coinflips. So basically #19 or #20.

    It's ok. A good deal for EG.

    We are doing good with every pick, the organization doing good job in this regard but we should also utilize our assets better.

    The priority should be bringing in a coaching staff who can build a championship team. You cant receive a Michelin star no matter what ingredients you acquire to restaurant if the chefs are bad. You have to pay up and bring best people available.

    Talking about Michelin stars when all they can do are horrible scrambled eggs.

    it’s essentially the 2022 Milwaukee pick, PJ Tucker and EG for the clippers pick. It would have been decent if it was right outside the lotto, and certainly we can’t evaluate the full trade until we know what the pick becomes, but it’s not that good of a deal when u consider what went into getting the pick. It wasn’t just EG.

    to me it’s another underwhelming example of asset management on Stone’s part.

    This is grossly misstating these trades. For example, we also got a swap into the first round with the PJ Tucker trade, which ended up being Christopher.

    we got the 2022 Milwaukee pick as part of the garden trade. Then we traded PJ Tucker and the 2022 Milwaukee pick for the 2023 Milwaukee pick. Then we traded Eric Gordon and the 2023 Milwaukee pick for the 2023 Cippers pick.

    So we basically traded 2022 Milwaukee, PJ Tucker, and EG fir the Clippers pick.

    I’m sorry, I don’t think that is correct.

    I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. Part of the PJ Tucker trade was a swap of our 2021 SRP for the Bucks’ FRP. This ended up being the 2021 24th pick (Christopher).

    Houston also received the right to swap their 2021 second-round pick for Milwaukee’s 2021 second-round pick.

    That is a typo. Go look at the actual draft. How do you think we got the 24th pick?

    I stand corrected. Nba.com has it wrong. We did get to swap the 1st pick in the 2nd round for the 24th pick, which was Josh Christopher.

    so basically 2022 Milwaukee 1st and pick 31 in 2021 and PJ Tucker and Eric Gordon for Josh Christopher and the Clippers pick. I still think it’s underwhelming.
