The Kings play the Lakers tonight. Whatever the result it is good for Orlando. But we should really be wishing for the Lakers to win-out.

If I understand the Lakers' situation correctly...no team in history has had more reason to tank HARD...If they're out of top 3, they lose TWO probable high lottery picks? Nobody could blame them for sitting everyone every night.

Tough win for us. Would have been .5 game out of third and pushing the Lakers to 4. We need to be more committed.

We score too many points with Fournier in the lineup...time to bench him.

WE are two games ahead in the tank race to keep the 4th spot. PHI and MIN both have two fewer losses then us and are tied for the 5th. We are hosting Spurs, Blazers, and Hawks next which should give us a nice L streak. I think we might be able to beat the blazers. Need to drop this bc PHI has a tough three games coming with Cs, Wiz, and Dubs. All playing some of the best ball right now.

Just realized that if the Lakers keep the top 3 pick this year, we will go into the 2017 draft with the assumed 4th, 25th, 33rd, and 34th pick. There are plenty of second round gems this year and that 20s pick is still valuable.

I really want their 2019 pick.. I don't think they'll be a playoff team in 2 years.

Magic Johnson wants to run the team and bring Kobe Bryant on board. We REALLY need them to drop out of the top 3.

If we get a top 4 pick this year and the Lakers fall out, our turnaround could come soon. That pick could be really valuable and could be flipped for another star.

Haha well that's good to see. Although I think their algorithm is a little off, I'd much rather be in Boston or Phoenix's situation.

Im kinda worried that this move makes us better. AG going back to this natural position and Ross coming off the bench getting hot here and there might get us an extra W here and there. At least we still have Tank commander Green and the General Tank Watson to lead us to the L columns. As long as those two are around, the tank will remain strong.

And Philly is looking really good if they get the Lakers pick this year.

The algorithms only take into the weight of the power of the picks not the team contexts heading into the draft.

Yes it's a pick swap meaning Brooklyn get's the draft pick of Boston. Outright sucks to be a Nets fan.

We just showed our commitment!
