    It’s also why you’ve got to try to get out of the “tank” mindset as quickly as possible. We need to be smart, but still be ready to make trades for stars and sign impact free agents as soon as possible.

    Phoenix had a short rebuild. They did an ok job drafting. Signed marginal free agents. Then traded for a past-his-prime superstar. Don’t be quite as aggressive and make a little bit smarter moves, and we can be right where they are with a higher ceiling and longer window.

    Basically a 50% chance of picking 5th, 50% of picking 1-4?

    Those odds are stinky.

    Yeah, it's stressful tanking now-a-days.

    Keep doing this, it actually helps our chances every time you simulate a bad outcome, makes us incrementally more due for a good one according to Advanced Probability Theory - hopefully we use them all up before the lottery.

    Yes and yes.

    I don't know. This year's draft prospects aren't blowing me away and we're guaranteed a top-5 pick (as opposed to last year), so this year isn't a big deal for me. I'll take whatever. Now, if all 5 of these picks end up being blah players in the NBA, I'm going to blame everyone on this forum for wasting my time. :D

    I’ve come to terms with the Rockets getting #5 and burning an asset on moving up for Chet.
