Lopez and Young shut down for the season

[Eddie20]

Nets made a big mistake keeping Lopez. Young ok, he is still young and you keep him


Lopez , Jack should of been traded for some picks.

Lopez is the same age as Young

[LatterDayCelticsfan]

Maybe they sell Lopez on Draft night to so team desperate to win now? Bulls, Lakers 76ers

+1 to OP. Was sure it was an April fools prank.

Yes but Young will always be Young.

[SHAQATTACK]

Oh man, thats awesome! Now we need the Suns to somehow pull off a win or two.

We should " LOAN" them Brad Stevens .....LOL 

[TA9]

They don't have anything to play for, so why not give the chance to a young guy, who might breakout in the next couple of games.
But most important... THIS IS GREAT NEWS !

remaining schedule-


Home Pelicans
Away Wizards
Away Hornets
Away Pacers
Home Wizards
Home Raptors

Remaining Schedule for PHX-

Home Utah
Away ATL
Away Houston
Away NOP
Home Sacramento
Home LA Clippers

They can MAYBE get a win or two there (NOP and Sac) since one is at home.

If Brooklyn wins none and PHX wins one do they do the coin flip? The number of chances for 3rd and 4th divided in half is not a whole number. Would be lame to get all the even with PHX for #3 and lose on a coin flip.

They would split the chances evenly between 3 and 4.  The single extra combination available would be awarded based on a coin flip, as would the higher draft spot in the event that neither team one a top 3 slot in the lottery.

LAC should be resting all their key guys that last game. Doc used to here when there was nothing to play for.

Yes, coin flip.

Great news.  It would be nice if the SUns got a win. 

At this point, unless someone leapfrogs us in the lotto, this is a guaranteed Top 5 pick, right?  Even if they win every game and the Wolves lose every game, it's in the #5 slot. 

Is there a consensus top 5 or do we still only have two guys to get excited about?  I didn't follow the tourney.

if c's finish with 4th worst record , the lowest they can fall in the lottery is # 7 I believe .

It's guaranteed top 7 if we end up in the 4th slot.

If we end up in #4 the most likely outcome, by far, it that we pick 5th (35% chance).

It is in fact more likely that we pick #1 than #4.

Odds:

1   12%
2   13%
3   13%
4   10%
5   35%
6   16%
7    1%

Tier 1: Ben Brandon
Tier 2: Buddy Jamal and Kris
Also there is Jalen, but there are questions about him. Decent centers within the Dallas pick range. Not much has changed with the tournament other than more people realizing how good of a player Buddy is.
There is also bender which for some reason is high on people's list.

Excellent news for the pick, Brooklyn shouldn't win again. I do think they'll look to trade Young, but not Lopez.

I think they made a disastrous decision (if they had options) to not trade both this year during the deadline.  Lopez' value will not be any higher in the future than it was this year.  He played hard and was healthy.  Young was a legitimate steal from Minny for KG.  He is certainly valuable enough to get a 1st rounder if players like Jeff Green can net one.  They have a pick in next year's draft and do not have one this year, they need to get draft picks!

I thought I saw Bender going as high as 3rd... did something happen?
