You do realize the pick can move into the top 5 right ? Even if we finish 6th the pick can move in the lottery, which to tell the truth I would love to rip the joy from Suns fans if the pick moved on lottery night.

What would really fn suck is finishing with a bottom 4 or the record and then ending up with pick 6, which is also possible

come on, you know me better than that, of course i know there's a chance we win the lottery (top 3)

but at the same time, it's a crap chance. at the 6th worst record, there's a 21.5% chance of moving into the top 3, hence there's a 78.5% chance we lose the pick

tell me, if there was a 4 in 5 chance of losing the pick, why wouldn't you want to shore up that pick??

let's look at the odds:

at the 5th worst record, there's a 44.8% chance of losing the pick because all it takes is one team 6th or worse to strike lucky

at the 4th worst record, there's a 17.2% chance of losing the pick if two teams ranked 6th and worse strike lucky

at the 3rd worst record, there's a 4% chance of losing the pick if three teams ranked 6th and worse strike lucky

for each losing place we drop, there's a 34% chance jump, 27% jump and a 13% jump in keeping the pick

there's a reason why they're called odds, and why i'm not in such a mood to pray for deliverance

frankly, i want to say goodbye to minnesota and utah by the allstar break and not have to worry about competing for ping pong balls come april and start working on cracking the top 3 of philly, detroit and new york to make doubly sure we're not shipping a #6 pick to phoenix
