I’m rooting for them to have the 8th worst record by the time the season is over. I think that’s reasonable. Plus, it gives us a 7.1% chance of getting the pick.
I think that's a pretty reasonable wish. Top-5 organically is almost impossible at this point, but maybe we can send Lucky to the lottery.

That's not reasonable at all. The 8th worst team is currently the Bulls, with 20 wins. 9th are the Knicks with 24 - without Porzingis don't count on that win total growing much either. The Lakers are at 26 wins. 10th worst is the best we can hope for, which would be < 2% chance of conveying. At this point it doesn't matter much - we will either get super lucky or start this up again next year with the Kings pick.
I, for one, really miss having a second favorite team playing (whoever is playing the team who owns our pick). Next year will be fantastic though ... with Memphis, LAC and Sacto.
