    YES!

    Spurs will make the shots (like 90%), but will make the shots too (85%), and win consolation prize. The Spurs will get Lamarcus Aldridge, and we will get better looking twin brother, Zamarcus Aldridge. ;)

    Because 74.6% of statistics are made up.

    LMA only gets once chance to pick one team. For a team, the odds are 0% or 100%. Using numerical statistics to measure one single event that will never happen again is ridiculous.

    Your example only works because both shooters can win.

    Aldridge's FA means only one team could win. One team having better odds of winning means another team has worse odds.

    It can work if you think of it as a race instead: The first to 100% wins.

    Only 1 team has a 100% chance. All other teams have a 0% chance. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

    This

    It's all about improving the odds though.

    So far Les has failed after 2 decades if that's the standard.

    Weird all I hear is SA, LAL and PHX with regard to lamarcus. We are never ever mentioned as a possible destination. Bad sign?

    I've given up on Doc Rocket anyway. So he doesn't like the meeting with Bazemore. As if we're done talking to free agents.
