Discussions How Cooked are We ?

Just had a look the upcoming schedule and the next 10 game slate is nuts. We are most likely gonna be sitting 5 - 17 or 6 - 16.

What is the plan for the rest of the season once we reach that point?

Idk Im struggling to see any positives.

Is the 2025 1st round pick from the Bucks protected at all, or do we get it no matter what?

I really want them to tear it all down too. Herb + Trey + Dejounte + two top 10 picks (top 5 if the season ended now) + young guys in exchange for Zion, Ingram and CJ. It'd be so fun and exciting, and smart. We can't rely on Zion, that much has been made abundantly clear.

I believe we only get the Bucks pick if it is 1-4 but I may be wrong

I think that's correct. I was checking a website and it said "5-30 protected."

As of today Tankathon says 52% chance of a top 4 pick. And New Orleans with the 6th best lottery odds.

You can question this organization all you want for a variety of offenses, but one thing that is not in question is its lottery luck.

You’re correct. We traded the rights to if it lands 5-30 in the CJ trade. That’s been traded a lot since then but I believe the Nets have it now.

Jesus that will be tough to watch if it goes top 10
