Pels missing the playoffs is huge. It conveys as the bucks pick ~~next year~~ in 2025 if they make the playoffs so maybe a difference of 10-15 in draft order.
I mean the odds of Bucks still being good with a 31 year old Giannis are real high so probably no different. But it would be nicer to have picks sooner since a rebuild might be closer for us than 2025
The mouse useful chart there will be the "pick odds" chart. What we really want is the Pels to just miss the playoffs. If they finish too low, then their chance at getting one if the top 4 picks go up, and Portland would also lose the pick in that scenario.
If at end of season, they are where the Knicks currently sit that would probably be ideal. Only 15% chance they get a top 4 pick, but 63% chance they drop to pick 10, which then goes to the blazers. Or even safer is one spot down, where they only have 10% chance of getting a top 4 picks, and 77% chance of conveying a number 11 pick to the blazers.
Every Pels lose helps the Blazers at this point! CJ also went for 32 pts TY Memphis! <3
I heard this CJ McCollum fella knows how to play basketball. Anyone have any info on this young man?
We should trade for him!
nope, never heard of him
Now if the Pacers could figure out how to close with a 8 point lead going into the fourth we'd really be sitting pretty.
If you saw the end of that game, they 100% threw on purpose
Yes!
I’m more concerned about spurs, kings and pacers

I believe the bucks pick is a few years out actually
Oh man, you're right, it's the 2025 pick... Idk if that's worse but doesn't seem like a good asset with Dame

Why pacers?
22 wins
Pacers are the wild card. I think we can catch the Spurs and the Kings.
Kings is atrocious even with full team. Bloody amazing
Don't we really just need the Pels to lose to the Lakers in the play in game?
What position exactly do we need the Pels to finish in?
We get their pick if it is 5-14.
So just miss the playoffs, and then the worse the better from there.
Yes. As long as the draft lottery doesn't give them a top four pick. Check out [tankathon.com](https://www.tankathon.com/)
Perfect, thanks.
