and i think we own last place then. We own the tie-breaker with the Suns and Cavs.

Which will ensure top 5 pick but does nothing much for us. Top pick plus 2 top FAs summer. Anything but Zion...trade the pick

the team with the worst record very rarely gets the #1 pick, and if you do the mock lottery draft right now, 10 out of 10 times we got pck 3 or pick 5.. atl got the #1 pick 9 out of 10 times

So im not sure why your rooting for losses at this point, unless you enjoy watching your team play like trash, no heart, no sense, no passion, no care.

No "tie breaker" here - I looked this up previously. If you end with the same record as another team, you just divide up the ping-pong balls. If we finish tied for 1/2, we'll split the ball allocations for picks 5 and 6.

I think the Knicks could probably afford to win 3 or 4 more games given the pace of the other losers. They've all been playing .400+ over their last 10.

who are we beating? Only the Bulls are a team we might beat- everyone else will probably be playing hard to the end for play off position.

You're right, and I just noticed Zach Lavine may be out a bit longer with the knee strain. I have to update my GamePicker

Morant show you enough? Had a triple double. 19 points, 16 assists, and 12 Reb. He looked really good! He either scored or assisted on 53 of their points. Crazy.

Anyone of top 5 will be a great asset and possible starter.
Trading the pick is not a prohibitive think but it should be some really franchise changing prize... like AD level

That's about it.

I don’t care about the stats. I saw the game. He looked like a superstar who makes his teammates better. If the Knicks draft him, they’ll need shooters, or improve from within’ when it comes to that.... or both.

FYI, there's no tie-breaker in the draft lottery. If two teams tie then they split the odds and flip a coin to see which team would pick before the other.

I am glad we're finally tanking, just wish we did it earlier before the draft odds changed.

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

I don’t care about the stats either. What I cared about what the fact that he was clearly the best player that I watched today. His court vision is absolutely amazing. Guy can shoot and his athleticsm reminds me of Wade.

For the record, I do actually care about them. I just think that in this instance, him scoring a tripile double with a lot of TOs was not a showboat performance. He totally played terrific and his teammates benefited, especially because they hit shots. There is no perfect storm but that was close.

The morning after:
Ja-Mania! This was a sort of coming out party and in a field or prospects few have stood out in Zion’s shadow.
There will be others. Ja’s body of work will be evaluated and he will be measured and tested in workouts.
no conclusions should be made even by rabid thirsty fans such as us.
“What don’t I know”? As a fan its more than I do know.
That’s no fun is it? I don’t envy the job of a GM running an NBA franchise.

I would actual pick him over Zion because he is needed in this ISO heavy system FIZ allows, I would rather see him dishing and swishing as oppose to Zion trying go one on one, or KD, or who ever we get.
