    I guarantee he won't be. The Lakers would trade the pick if they jumped up.

    the number of players on lottery teams being "shut down fro the rest of the season" is a rapidly growing list. Latest is Tim Hardaway Jr

    a last effort by Dallas to keep their 1-5 protected pick this year?

    I just saw that Marcus Smart got a $50K fine for shoving Embiid the other day. Can anyone explain to me what makes that incident any worse than when Westbrook blatantly blind-side shoulder-checked Nurkic a couple weeks back? I don't recall him being ejected or fined for that.

    We can move to 3rd place with a Spurs Win.

    Ahhh--unlike Marcus, everyone already knew that Westbrook was not smart, so his idiocy was excusable? Makes sense.

    Okc loses all of their remaining games and Lakers win all but the last game.

    How does this not qualify for blatant tanking?

    First, they no longer play the schedule of pre-school opponents. Second, their best player has/had shoulder injury and is clearly not playing as he did before.
