what are the logistics of a coin flip when there are 3 teams involved?

At this point a realistic situation for me would have us drafting Davis or possibly Jackson.

Perfect situation would be Brown or Murray falling.

Demitrius Jackson? Are people serious. 0% chance we draft him with Den pick.

Well Murray won't fall. And Brown looks about as interesting to me as Ellenson. Both look very meh statwise. I'd rather grab Rabb or Davis. And I'd still hope Brice Johnson was available at #27.

Get two decent PF prospects added to the pipeline, keep Ross as the SF backup, SG insurance if DD bolts. And we would be set for another great regular season.

Hopefully with a season of seasoning, one of the two PFs stands out enough that they could be our starter the following season, so we wouldn't have to pay the big bux to keep 2Pat.

Whether it's 8, 9, or 10 we're getting a good player. Hell, even if we drop to 13 or 14 I have confidence in this pick. From 9-14 there are a ton of guys who we could use.

I agree - and I generally believe in BPA where possible - but we're not going to draft a 4th Point Guard. David Kahn is not our GM. Unless we deal 2 of the PGs we currently have before the draft - which seems unlikely - there's no way we're taking Jackson.

Not even enough space on the 905 for a PG :lol:

Do you anticipate Demar and Bismack to be back, or will our 2 draft picks replace Bis as our defensive bigs?

Can't wait to see what Masai can do with a top 10 pick. He's made a few nice value selections in the past and it's time for him to prove just how good he is.

Call up Utah and make an offer for Favors.

I would absolutely love Favors on this team. I don't know Utah that well -- is Favors untouchable? Is there any return off the Raptors' roster they'd consider for Favors?

How can a coin toss decide a tie between 3 teams?
Am I the only one confused?

Each team flips a coin. The odd one out is removed and the other two teams flip again.

Probably. Especially based on our current guard situation.

But I do like him a lot as a player & believe that he will be one of the better players from this draft 3 years from now.

We have a good shot at 8th. It's a 33% shot at first glance, but there's a 7% chance that our pick gets into the top 3, meaning we'd get the knick pick at 8th. Statistically 8th is the our most likely pick, but we'd need some luck to get it.

Agreed, but if Masai & Casey like him enough & think he is BPA, you can always make trades.

There are lots of chess pieces on his side of the board & lots of interesting moves that are available to make.

It is possible the result of the flip is that all the coins land on the same side.

What pick does the one removed get?
