The West is so insane this year. They're going to wind up with, like, 9 teams winning 45 games.
Good for us, because the King might stay over .500 and still convey a decent pick.
you mean like last year where the 9 seed had 46 wins and 10 had 42.
In terms of the Kings pick, exactly. The Kings could win 44 games and still convey the 12th pick, which wouldn't be bad at all since it's a basically a free pick and the C's would have some other assets to help them move up if they want.
In terms of the craziness of the West this year, it's even crazier than last season because no one is getting separation. I'm sure GS will go on a run at some point but there is no Houston Rockets winning 65 games this season. Last year, 3rd and 9th were separated by just 3 games. This season we could see 2nd and 10th separated by 3 games.
