Are the Wizards under the impression the more embarrassing the loss the more ping pong balls you get?

Risacher might be re-living the Killian Hayes timeline.

I mean...

Vecenie didn't rank him in his latest mock, thinking he might be better off returning to college.  I wonder if he has a late 1st guarantee.

26-27: 58M
27-28: 62M
28-29 67M (Player Option)

Paul George also has two more years at around 50M.

Combined that about 70% of the cap. The also don't own their first round picks in 2 of the next 3 years (or something like that).

Sorry, Philly. You're gonna be bad for a while.

The Nets starting 5 tonight had about 100 games played combined this season.  Not started, played.

A pivotal tank game between the Jazz and Grizzlies. Memphis had 15 players on their injury report. 

OKC obviously isn't tanking. But they list all of their starters and most of their key reserves out against Denver.

[Deleterious]

A win causes Memphis to lose 7% chance at the #1 pick and Utah 10%.   That might be flipped around.  But my god, look at who is playing.

Best part about the Jazz-Grizzlies game.  It was fan appreciation night.

Flagg had 33 in the loss

Last triple double for Bez Mbeng.

Award eligibility watch:

Ausar now has 63 games over 20 minutes. You can also include a maximum of 2 games in the 15-20 minute range and he has those as well. He now qualifies for awards.

Cade has 62 qualifying games (soon to be 63). He has zero games between 15-20 minutes, so he can't use that rule.

There's an exception for players who suffer a "Season Ending Injury" that takes them out through May 31st. Cade also wouldn't qualify for that, which is silly because it shouldn't matter when the significant injury occurred.

You can file a "Grievance" if the eligibility for awards could affect your next contract and you can prove the team stopped you from playing to save money. Obviously that doesn't apply to Cade.

There's also an "Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge". From what I've read online it sounds like the "circumstances" aren't defined in the contract and it's left open, so this is the angle the team will likely try to take. I doubt it will work for an injury, but it's worth a shot. This is also the angle Luka will go for due to his child being born.
