re: 18-19 Tank Watch - 3 Way Tie for 7th

I'm just as pissed as anybody about how everything turned out. It all played out in worst case scenario in all the games we kept an eye on today. We held Randle out and sent out our scrub team that has no business of beating anybody. But we unfortunately found out that a team full of scrubs that are actually trying, will always beat a team that is to a point that they just don't care at all (Kings).

Agreed. It's not like Jrue, AD, Randle, and Frank are out there giving up crunch time minutes. Playing guys like Solo and Ian is SUPPOSED to be tanking. It's just typical shite Pels luck that they go off on a night like this.
Oh well. Just gotta hope we can a couple of breaks on Tuesday and NYK/DET/BOS all take an L.

This makes no sense. How can you sit in 6the place and have a 37% chance at a top 4 pick? What are the chances of the 5 teams ahead of you? Is this out of 200%?

This team makes it difficult to be a fan of...

Wrong. They played their starting PG, coincidentally a player who would fit into the "next contract" if you knew jack or shite about this team.

The team is trying to tank.
Again,
Elfrid Payton - 39 minutes
Okafor - 35 minutes
Clark - 35 minutes, but I'll give you this one, you can't sit both Payton and Clark. We don't have the bodies.

How does it not make sense?
Top 3: 52.1 %
Then it goes down each pick after

I still can’t get over 2 Kings wins in the last 10 days kills the tank. Couldn’t split???? So fricking miserable.

So I've been quiet since this win.
For a little bit now I saw Dallas as a lock for #6, so i wrote us off for that. Getting 6th was a long shot and 7th was reality. Theres still a shot at that.
Even if we dont get 7th, (I know the odds for a better position are better so I'm not arguing that), we'd probably be picking the same guy at #9 as we would at #7. Not that we'll ever know that though.
It's been mentioned that the difference is like getting Dame instead of Drummond. Not even counting the fact that Drummond is a hell of a pick at #10, but look at the draft the following year. There was one good pick between 1-9, and McCollum was #10 and Giannis was #14. I guess I'm just saying that as fans you have to hope your scouts get the right guy bc it's almost a toss up. I mean we'd be ecstatic if we got the #3 spot, but there's good odds you end up drafting a guy that everyone thinks is a lock, like people thought about Okafor, but he ends up being a lifetime backup.
Also, if you jump back before the Phoenix and Sac game, every one of us thinks we would go 1-1 over that stretch. Go look at the Phoenix thread, no one thought we were losing to them. So if beating Sac shows how much of an idiot Gentry is, then losing to Phoenix means he should get a lifetime contract because that was far more unlikely than beating Sac.
We have the same record over the past two games that everyone thought we would have except they just happened in a different way than we thought.

Who we hire at GM and how good they are at talent evaluation and player development will be way more important than picking 6 or 10.

At this point, the difference in slots is more about ping pong balls for a top 4 pick than ending up at 6th vs 7th.
While there may be solid contributors past the first two in this draft, there doesn’t appear to be a ton of depth.
It’s not 2013 levels of bad where there’s just no one worth taking but this appears to be one of those years where it isn’t a great time to have a mid lottery pick.

Wiz just have the Celtics left.
Grizz have the Pistons and Warriors.
Mavs have the Suns and Spurs.
Can lock in Wiz at 6. Have to hop the Suns can outtank the Mavs and the Grizz can steal one. Most likely we end up in a tie for 8-9. Thankfully Boogie's ego and the stars still getting minutes should keep us at 33.

At least we should find this out Wed or Thurs.

Just a guess on the Wednesday or Thursday thing? Or do you have sources? (insert that ESPN sources dude gif here)

I don't know that we actually will find it out that quickly. It would be nice to get the ball rolling but I think they will take a little time. They had the interviews last week, and they may want to schedule more interviews, or 2nd and 3rd interviews of certain people.
We will see.

Could be speculation from Kumar. I saw someone on twitter mention him saying he thinks they will announce it today. That seems a bit early, but who knows

B/c there's 5 teams ahead of us with better odds.
Why are everyone's odds combined together not equaling 100%? If you combine the odds of getting the #1 pick for every team, it equals 100%. You combine the odds for getting a top 4 pick of every team and it equals well over 300%.
It's a hard concept to understand.
I understand that 6th spot has a 9% chance at the #1 pick, and a 9.2% chance at the #2 pick, and a 9.4% chance at the #3 pick, and a 9.6% chance at the 4th pick, thus the 37.2% chance at getting in the top 4 simply by adding those 4 up, and a 62.8% chance at not getting in the top 4.
But when presented that you have a 37% chance at winning something, and you have the 6th best odds, that doens't make a whole lot of sense.

I looked on Reddit real quick to see if he said it there but don't see it in any of his posts.
That would be pretty awesome to get it over with that quick, but I doubt it.
Woj or Stein would likely break it a lot earlier than day of, and the Pelicans will have to announce a press conference at least a few hours in advance, if not 24 hours, to give media a chance to get there.
