    It's a poorly written sentence, but I think what he's saying is that, as of today's standings, the Nets are tied with the Raptors for the 6th pick. The Blazers would get the Net's pick if the Nets don't have one of their number combinations come up and end up in the top 3. Since they're tied with the Raptors, it would be the 6th pick if the Nets win a coin flip with the Raptors. If they lose, it would be the 7th pick.

    I believe they do the coin flips before the lottery, right?

    Ok, so hypothetically, if Toronto and NJ both end up tied, they will most likely split the lottery balls, but each has a different combination?

    That is correct. And using your hypothetical, if neither teams vaults into the top 3, then the coin flip will determine who is 6th and who is 7th.

    Anyone else feel in their gut that NJ is getting into the top three? I just have no hope.

    I have thought this way ever since the trade. They are moving into a brand new stadium in Brooklyn next season, and I find it hard to believe the NBA would allow them not to have a shot at one of the top three picks.

    Shit, I've been saying this since the day of the trade. Still love the trade. Would love a top-6 pick from NJ this year, but I have a feeling we will be waiting until next year for the pick.

    I still love the trade as well. I just don't think there is any way Brooklyn ends up out of the top 3 this year

    I read they draw 4 balls, why 4 not just 3?

    it's a 4 number combination, likea lottery number. So they draw 4 balls for 3rd spot, 4 for 2nd, 4 for 1st.

    In this draft I think we could package both picks to move up into the 4-5 range (Beal) -- Fez is not worried.

    Charles Barkley talked about how he would be leery if the Nets end up with the top pick for the same reasons you all have mentioned. I'm not going to hold my breath on us getting two lottery picks this year.

    Are you guys seriously worried that we wont get that pick this year? There is no way the Nets get in the top 3.
