It's going to be close, but Dallas also has two true veterans that are injured that may help them eek out 3-4 more wins on the year when they get healthy. It's going to be tight, and this one could end up going either way. Thank you. That's why I said it's about 50 % chance. It's not scientifically determined but I think it's a fair ballpark figure.

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 3, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I wanted top 3 protection on that big so bad. Anyway, keep in mind.... Quote Dallas' 1st round pick to Atlanta protected for selections 1-5 in 2019, 1-5 in 2020, 1-3 in 2021 and 1-3 in 2022 and unprotected in 2023. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you broke down the math and did it accurately based on percentages to win each game for the rest of the season it’s not 50/50. It’s more like 70% the pick will convey..if not higher.

No...don’t buy into this bs..the Mavs pick will convey this year. If @bleachkit wants to double down on the Mavs pick and add it to the Cavs bet I’d gladly do that in a heartbeat because the guy’s math is off lol.

I don't see them outright tanking when Dirk returns, it is probably his last season. They should be better though, they need to just hand the reigns to Doncic and trade Wes Matthews. Dude, don't take anymore bets, @bleachkit is already beating you like a drum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 If the season ended today we'd get the 6th pick and that's it. No other picks would transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted November 3, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I am with bleachkit and KB on this right now. Dallas pick is very much at risk. Hope Spud is right and plenty of time for them to improve but current trajectory doesn’t look good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gonna be ok @AHF I ran the numbers through the dieselputter (spudulous machine was broken) and Mavs come out with 36 wins to end the year. That’s good for a 7-12 pick for us (8-10 most likely). I’m just trying to reel @bleachkit into a double or nothing to even out my Cavs bet cuz that thing is in big time jeopardy. ? ps Does anyone know if the Dieselputter is accurate? It says “make in indonesia” on it...”property of the colonel Diesel, that’s what the ladies call me”. ? ooohhhkay, I must have stumbled on some private things. My bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think them at 28 wins. It's going to close for us. Hopefully they don't start tanking early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azodl Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I don't think the Mavs will end up worse than 6th. And I agree that Cleveland blowing unexpectedly may end up being very helpful in this regard. BUT, it cuts both ways and it's possible we end up picking one pick lower with our own pick because Cleveland is so horrible and ends up ahead of us.

If so, it wouldn't surprise me. Their owner got fined 600K for tanking comments last season. I know it's all history at this point, but I really wished the protection on that pick was top 3 instead of top 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they back out, they really wanted Doncic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope the market value for Trae goes so well that the NBA Commish want to give him more help and throw of one of those David Stern (New York) lottery picks. wink wink lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are the 5 worst teams? PHX, Cleveland, Chicago, Hawks....and Washington? I think Washington turns it around, and I'm not convinced Atlanta is all that bad. Orlando and a couple others may be worse, but they aren't in the West. It could become a risk. I'd give it another month before I even worry about it though. It's a long season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 We can forget about the Cav’s pick this year, there’s always hope for next though. I still feel like the Hawks and Mav’s picks will land somewhere in the 6-10 range. 2 top 10 picks, with Schlenk’s keen player evaluation eye, will be a gold mine. Young, Huerter, Prince, Collins, plus 2 more lotto picks is an outstanding young core. Add a star trade/FA and a bench of Bembry, Len, Spellman, and Anderson and you’re back in the playoffs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no evidence WAS can/will turn anything around. The inevitable Dwhine Howard implosion hasn't even happened yet and they already suuuccck. .... I mean I can't even overestimate how much bonkey-dalls WAS sucks right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
