re: If the Pelicans Lost Their Last 2 Games, They'd Have Been in the Cav's Spot

OP's logic is majorly flawed. But on the same note it clearly would have been better to stop trying to win about 10 games before the end of the season and we would have had a much higher chance of retaining our pick. People are just being plain foolish if they value those 5ish wins at all though
