Among the positives happening in the "other race", Philly AND LA are starting to work their way down the lottery ladder. Good news for Nets pick, but also good that LA may not get another good pick (of course they'll probably win a top 3 anyway), and Philly possibly misses out on adding 2 more gems. The lower the Philly picks get, I think the better chance they'll try to package for one top 5.
