I forgot about this one. I've been using Tankathon lately.

You had us win 3 out of 5?

I must have run it 20 times and only won maybe 3 times. Plus the Lakers won like 5-6 times so I guess its pretty accurate. 
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I played 5 times.  The Sixers got the Lakers pick 4 times and ended up with the 1st pick (twice) and 2nd pick (once).  We only won once.

My favorite outcome, Celtics 1st

76ers take Ball and Smith.

Remember, everyone, don't panic when you get the results. Simulators hate us.

Interesting that Ford has both the Lakers and Suns picking Ball if they get #1, it looks like everybody else is taking Fultz.

So the 2 most likely teams to jump the C's both would take Ball (according to Ford anyway).

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Maybe I can be the C's official lottery rep?

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Stark reminder of the luck involved to get #1 even with the highest % chance.

I ran it exactly  20 times and we got the #1 pick 3 times and the Lakers got it 8 times. The Lakers finished higher than us in 14 of the 20 times.

Some nice talent at #3 and #4 but missing out on Fultz would be devastating.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

If you can win 3 out of 5 times, I will personally drive you to drawing.

Maybe it would be better not no exercise the swap to preserve more cap space. Thoughts?

PASS.

If we get 4th it has to be Tatum or even Issac. I want no part of Monk, or the other 10 point guards not named Fultz or Ball.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

Celtics is the first team to win it three times in a row when I kept running it over and over.

Played it thrice.

First try 1st Celtics-Fultz, 2nd Lakers-Ball 3rd Suns Jackson
2nd try 1st Lakers-Ball, 2nd Celtics Fultz 3rd Suns Jackson
3rd try 1st Lakers-Ball, 2nd Suns Jackson, 3rd Celtics Fultz

There's a good possibility that we end up with Fultz even if we didnt get the first pick as long as were in the top three and the Lakers and Suns end up in the top 3 as well.
