LOL! Lakers just won another useless game at the buzzer on a Russell three! Four in a row! And that's after the Suns won today and tied them in the loss column lol

That pick is going to be as good as gone, along with that 2019 pick  ;D

Russell with a game-winning 3 at the buzzer for a Lakers win!  Magic/Buss must be apoplectic.

Another reminder that management may tank, but players don't.  The players were really excited for the win.

Lakers are still safe I think , they are third worst team ,  Philly has a two game tank on them.

I'd hardly call a 44% chance of losing your draft pick safe. And that's if they finish w/ the 2nd worst record, currently it's more likely that they lose the pick than keep it.

If they finish 3rd there's a 53% chance they lose it (plus their 2019 pick!!! ;D).

41% chance they lose it if they finish alone for 2nd.

But as Phoenix has only 1 more game, the best the Lakers could do is tie for 2nd, in which case they split ping pong balls with Phoenix, which would give them ~47% chance of losing the pick.

So it'll be either 53% or 47% odds of losing their 2017 and 2019 picks.

Your percentages are off.  It would be 44% chance to lose the picks for finishing alone in 2nd and 49% if they finish tied for 2nd.

The Heat feed keeps going back to a camera with some doofus standing up in juuuuust the right spot to block most of the baseline.

James Johnson, Lebron gets that call in that moment.
