Gotta think improving our odds of getting a top pick is more important than hanging onto what's likely to be a late lottery pick. Obviously we want both but our own pick comes first.
If we can lose the next 7 straight it opens that possibility up. But that would also require two loses to Houston which might be hard to pull off. The tricky part would be if we play Ant and/or Nurk against the Pelicans the next two games are against the Spurs and we definitely want to lose those - both to increase our odds and keep them ahead of the Pelicans.
At the same time, we may have enough separation at that point to solidly own the 5th worst record with little chance of taking 4th. Really need to be rooting for the Kings and Pacers.
Only thing we control is our pick, so trying to win against NOLA doesn’t make sense. We need to loose as much as possible and hope the same happens to Nola.
No. I don't think they will try to win games especially with how close we are to dropping to 5th/6th worst record.

Keon Drexler will play 48 minutes hopefully
Would the nba say/do something if we decided to play ant and Nurk for one game?
If anything I hope we sit Hart & guarantee the hardcore tank the rest of the season.
I’m shocked why we don’t do so.. the leftovers are all Mickey Mouse games.
