    It says Picks 1 - 4 are picked with the ping pong balls. The remaining are selected by order of where they finished.

    So the odds of Rockets getting 2 Top 4 picks are incredibly small.

    Do not fault her, she has been living in a bubble while the rest of the world only lived in one because of the pandemic.

    Lol, if they land in the Top 4, chances are they also squeeze out the Rockets to the 5th spot.

    Depending on where they land, it is going to be fun.

    If the Rockets were to get 2 Top 4 picks, which 2 players would y'all pick? Let's imagine it's picks 2 & 4.

    The top 5 is already pretty much set in stone it's some combination of Paolo Banchero, Jaden Ivey, Chet Holmgren, AJ Griffin and Jabari Smith

    IMO the Rox need a PF to get over Mobley, accurate 3 pt shooting and defense so I'd go with Jabari Smith, Holmgren or Griffin.

    The Simmons injury must be real.

    The Nets could definitely screw up the play-in like the Warriors last year and miss the playoffs. Though there’s no meaningful difference between those middle first round picks, I’m rooting for it just for the lols.

    Yeah but a 20th pick and maybe trade Gordon on trade day to move down maybe 3 to 5 places down will help….drafting Kessler from Auburn or Jovic from Bosnia.

    The Cavs are pick 20 right now and they have 5 fewer losses. It's possible it ends up 20 but I don't see how that's the likely result.

    Nets franchise literally resting on Durant’s leg and the Mental status of Ben Simmons-

    Kyrie : Here are the days I can be there.
    KD : Pray I'll be there.
    Simmons : I'm not going to be there for a while.
    Harden : I'm out.

    I'm still pissed they've actually been in a few of their most-recent games and won them, tbh.
