    We get their pick if it's top 3 or out of the lottery, correct?

    Thank you. Top 3 protected makes way more sense! Thought I saw a woj tweet saying it was protected 4-13 and couldn't understand the logic.

    Where do you think the Pels end up?

    Ingram, Hayes & CJ....Jones and others could beat some teams.

    Part of me feels we'll get screwed, and they'll sneak in to the playoffs, and we don't get a pick for 2 years.
    But, I haven't looked at their schedule to know how difficult it is coming up. Will also depend on zion returning. If he comes back and is at all healthy, I can see them knocking off like, Minnesota in theb play in game.

    So when we play the Pels, do we want to win and hurt our lottery chances, but increase the odds we get the Pels in the lottery?

    I can only hope New Orleans with CJ has as much success as the Nets did with their newly acquired Gerald Wallace.

    And after we thank them for the pick, we can draft another first ballot hall-of-famer.

    Also, we should probably root for the Kings and Spurs. They are 1 game back of N.O
    (in the win column)
