    thought that was fair value if we land top 4?

    I'm not so sure they would have traded Sabonis if they had any intention of trading Turner.

    Sabonis is NOT what we need. Zero defense

    They were just the same after trading Sabonis, so I imagine everything's on the table.

    Out of curiosity, what metric do you use to evaluate defense? I've never found one I think is all that compelling. :dunno:

    You left out the scenarios where we jump up to top 4.

    Think of Kyrie as CJ on steroids. Also, the Poole-Curry Warriors are bringing smallball roaring back.

    Going after Sabonis is appealing.

    For me it’s eye test. Sorry I can’t offer more insight.

    I sorta like real plus/minus?

    It’s why Dame and Ant won’t work. Both have a negative drpm. It’s ABSOLUTELY not the end all be all defensive stat though

    The numbers don't look right and yes I missed it because of it's strange placement order wise.

    Don't we have a 48% total chance of being 6th or better? When I sum all the numbers in the row I get 100% or close to it. You seem to see 1-4 as 10% total chance to move up there is a 10% chance for each one with our overall chances of being 1-4th or 6th at 48% otherwise the numbers don't make sense?

    You will note if you sum your numbers you're about 30-40% shy of 100% I believe that's because you reduced 1-4 to a less than 10% chance total.

    I was just reading an article that said the Lakers STILL are hoping they can fix their roster by trading Westbrook, THT and Nunn and are hoping not to have to give up any draft picks.
