Did they? LOL there's no chance they lose it to Philly though. they're just trying to make sure you guys don't get that third pick. LOL! They want Lonzo. I don't think EP wants to see him in Magic uniform either. Think Lonzo and Simmons on the floor at the same time. Ball handling like no other team.
YesPhiladelphia has the right to swap its 2017 1st round pick for Sacramento's 2017 1st round pick protected for selections 11-30 (if this pick falls within its protected range, then Philadelphia's swap right and Sacramento's obligation to Philadelphia will be extinguished
They can't get Ball. Ball is a projected top 2 pick. Only way they land ball is if Philly wins the lottery and Sacs finish with the second worse record. Philly is projected to have the 4-5th pick. If Sac lands the 1,2 or 3rd pick, they will lose it to Philly. That's why full tanking makes no sense. Not smart people.
LOL this race to the bottom is interesting! Let's see how much Vogel plays EP tonight. That'll tell a lot on if he's trying to tank or not.
