Now that we're looking at two picks and tiebreakers for each, it's easier to discuss in one thread when it happens. UPDATE:
Damn, I can't believe after being bad most of the season that we just couldn't finish the freaking job and instead decided to start winning.
Sadly, I was one of those people initially because my dumbass did not understand being in the bottom 3. I thought we were automatically going to be in the top 4 regardless. The Rockets are the experts though, so WTF where they thinking?
Being dead last only guarantees a top 5 pick. Where we are at it guarantees a top 7 pick which could have easily been avoided
Well they gutted the team more than you can possibly gut it, they benched KPJ for the last game, they waived and traded and sat everyone they could all season but the final straw was when it became obvious Silas is being fired (he probably knew way before us) then you can't do anything since he can threaten to report you to the league. Silas in the final week or two was actually trying to win games and the players will obviously take it like a holiday. What can the organization do? That's my hunch anyway.
Wrong intrepretation of hakeem94. Said poster believe u can draft hof talents anywhere even in the lower picks (uses jokic, butler giannis, klay and curry as examples). All the talents are similar nowadays and it's the amount of time invested in them that matters.
A lot of people struggle to understand odds. The human mind only emotionally grasps 100% (yes), 50% (maybe), or 0% (no). On an instinctive level, the "maybe you get a star" feels the same between a top 5 pick and picks 10-15. But in reality, the odds of getting one in the top 5 are at least several times higher, even though it technically can happen in either range.
It doesn't matter to people until they fall in love with the idea of picking a certain player and realize the team is not not in a position to do so.
