Battle for the #1 seed in each conference? Pshhhhh.

MVP debates? Mehhhhhhhhhh.

People talking about magic numbers? Who cares.

The REAL race is the race to the bottom, and mercy, it's a tight one. Just three games between 1st and 5th place right now with about 10 games to play. Lots of things to admire at this end of the standings. In a show of pure commitment to the cause, Memphis lost 19 straight games. PHX recently let Quinn Cook score 28 points in a meaningful NBA basketball game. Dennis Smith Jr is missing "some games" with a "not serious" injury. Everybody is saving their best basketball for the most important time of the year.

Here's where we stand now. May the ping pong balls fall in your team's favor, or completely ruin your life if you're a Suns fan:

If Dallas wanted to tank, they would play smith. he is 522 outta 522 player in the league in win share with a -.9. News to me that a negative win share is possible.

Y'all have 1, 15, and 15 at the moment?

It'd be pretty sweet to get Ayton and then Sexton + whoever at 15 and 16.

Would like Ayton and SGA/Sexton and Robert Williams with the other. My preference would be to take Ayton and package Chriss with picks for Aaron Gordon.

You want to draft Ayton and trade him for Gordon?!

No, take Ayton with the top pick. Then package Chriss with 15/16 or Chriss with future firsts for Gordon. Magic seem unsure if he and Isaac play well together.


ETA: S/O Memphis for losing by 61. Unbelievable focus tonight.

He's my #1 guy in the draft. Fit wise I'd rather PHX take Ayton though.

Hawks winning late.

What’s the point? Set the franchise back years to win a pointless game?

I hate how the Pistons can't ever get to tanking properly. Never good enough to make playoffs/or go far, and not bad enough to get a top 5 pick

Suns win big tonight with Nuggets win. Still hanging on to that Bucks pick for now.
