Copied from the NBA Season thread, I realize it's probably more relevant here:
Clippers have 10 games left, the Kings I believe 12 left, and Kings are 7 games back. Clips going 5-5 in their last 10 puts them at 47-35.
Clips play Cavs twice, Knicks, Lakers, and Memphis and should be able to go 5-5 in their last 10 games, but may struggle to win more than 5-6.
Luckily, 5-6 wins would lock them into no lower than the 8th seed, and if they don't get many more, they should finish #7 or ideally #8 in the West and also hopefully finish below the top 5 teams in the East, who should all be able to finish with 48+ wins unless Indy collapses. That's pick #18 or #19.
EDIT - FINAL PICK PREDICTIONS
Celtics pick: #24 (6 teams finish with better records, 3 in each conference (Bucks, Raps, Sixers + Dubs, Nugs, likely Rockets)
Clippers pick: #18 (pick could be #19, even #20, but I'm saying #18 as I believe LAC *should* finish behind OKC, Utah, SAS)
Kings pick: #14 (pretty much locked in at this point barring a miracle, see above)
Griz pick: #8 / rolls over (a hedge- Griz either finish 7th worst + get jumped once, or finish 8th worst + don't get jumped)
So C's get #14, #18, #24 + Memphis 1st: '20 Top 6 Protected / '21 Unprotected. 4 picks, 2 lottery / 3 top 20, to deal for AD.
3 of the 4 Picks, or all 4, + Future 1st + Tatum - is it enough? There's a great chance that it is, and we also have more we can offer.
