76ers , if they are lucky enough , can end up having 4# and 5# overall pick, with not single one of them being result of their record.

I watched them beat Brooklyn what do you mean?

Oh and I didn't know you split odds in the event of a tie. I figured it was the same tie breaker as the playoffs. Like whoever has the better head to head record gets the worse pick.

We can afford 3 wins and it still should give us 5th seed. It's gonna be hard to compete with the Knicks. With their wins Wolves and Sixers are not competition for the time being.

I'd rather be at 4, better chance for Jackson/Isaac/Tatum.

Me too, but realistically speaking it's gonna be hard. Look at Knicks' remaining schedule. It's tougher than Magic's I think.

I did, they could beat Philly, win one of the Heat games and possibly Bulls game.

Isaac will go 7-10th. Jackson locked in TOP3, i hope we get Tatum at 4, best offensive game among those 3, Isaac looks like a project and we need someone ready.

I think k jeff green is done for the year. That probllay isn't a good thing cause he is a tank commander. We need to shut down vuc or fournier. We gotta secure this 4th pick. We need someting substantial out of this draft. If we were to go outside the top 5 and dsj. Is their I would take him in a heart beat at 6 or 7. I think k he is gonna surprise people. If he goes outside the top 5

Fournier was soliciting vacation advice for this summer on twitter the other day, safe to say he's checked out. We need to put EP on the shelf and let the DJ/Watson duo drive us across the finish line.

Isaac is as much of a project as Jackson. Jackson inability to shoot consistently and his ft shooting will hold him back during his first couple of seasons. He won't be scoring in the paint so easily when he faces nba defense. I like him but we already have enough projects on this team that can't shoot.

Crazy as it sounds, Isaac and Tatum will thrive more on team short term then Jackson. Jackson would be perfect on the Celtics. They should consider him.

Yeah Celts don't need a guy that can consistently get his own shot as we do. Tatum > Jackson for us in my eyes.

I'd be stoked with either. Tatum is a perfect fit as a scorer that can take on Vogel's Paul George playbook. Plus he looks like he knows how and when to make a pass, too.

Jackson would be great, too. I want this team to get better passers on the wings, and he knows how to make a pass. But he's gonna take time to adapt. His shot will come, but I doubt we risk a pick on another shooting project unless he's BPA.

They are both great passers and would make this team instantaneously better by inserting either one in the starting lineup.

We're up 15 with 3 minutes to play in the 3rd. If we win today that might hurt our tank badly considering we have 2 games vs Nets ahead of us...Philly and Knicks down right now just gotta hope Westbrook somehow pulls this off
