pick because of the Philadelphia pick-swap

 too: That pick is top-three protected. At some point, it will make more sense for New Orleans to try to give itself the best odds of getting that pick into the top  Madden NFL 18 Coins      three in lieu of fighting for a now hopeless playoff spot. One more ding to Anthony Davis ought to do the trick. Unfortunately, New Orleans has around 12 percent odds of getting into the top three.

The Pelicans are even in the standings with the New York Knicks, who are bad enough to have lost to the Nets on Sunday. Odds are that the Pels will hand over a mid-lottery pick to the Kings.The Kings are scoreboard Buy Madden NFL 18 Coins  watching like crazy, just as are the Sixers and Lakers. Sacramento cannot win the No. 1 pick because of the Philadelphia pick-swap option.

So the Kings’ true best case is the No. 2 pick and the No. 6 pick, should the Pelicans really go into the tank and end up worse than the Magic (24-43). More likely is that the Kings pick No. 5 or 6 with their own choice (or in a Philly swap) and somewhere in the No. 7-9 range with the Pels’ pick. The Suns, Magic, and Knicks are normal actors in the lottery proceedings. They should proceed as teams typically proceed at this point in the season when the playoffs are out of reach: play younger prospects, don’t worry all that much about wins or losses, take an L if an L presents itself.
