He wouldn’t waive his no trade clause because supposedly his family loves Phoenix. I agree there is no scenario where he takes a buyout. Why would be take less money to leave?
Beal wouldn't waive his NTC, but we're supposed to suspend belief that he'd agree to a buy out? Mkay.

Then they could just waive him altogether. If his contract had offset language couldnt he basically just be had for the minimum anyway?
That money doesn’t come off your cap, so you’re just as screwed financially, and don’t even have a player to show for it, not even someone like BB.
This the guy who waited until his team lost several games in a row and was eliminated from the playoffs to suddenly have a hot shooting game against the Spurs? No thanks.
Is there still a scenario, where die Clipps fall to 7 or lower? They have the GS tiebreaker, right?
Iirc, since TWolves will surely win against the Jazz, GSW-Clippers loser goes down to the play-in.
Thanks...so let's hope Clipps win. I'm nervous regarding OKC getting lucky with that pick.
We really hope that the Spurs will make a quantum leap this offseason....
Those east starting rosters![]()
Watching Hawks vs Magic look like a scrimmage game
Need SAC and DAL wins today (for ATL pick purposes). SAC seems likely... DAL, significantly less so.
Carrington wins the game for the Wizards with the most ridiculous runner/floater you'll ever see.
More importantly, they lost the best lottery odds because of it.![]()
4 of the top 5 lotto seeds, and 6 of the top 11 are all picks that would otherwise be outgoing if not for protections. Beware when trading for protected picks.
Lonnie with 31/6/2 and 0 turnovers against the Bulls.![]()
I mean, bottom 3 all have the same odds at 14% though
The best odds are guranteed to stay in top4.
Second best odds have a 20% chance to drop to 5th.
Will most likely be irrelevant, but you never know.
Also, best odds never won the #1 pick in this lottery system.
Right. The only difference is how far back can they get pushed. #1 can only fall to #5, but each lower slot can get pushed back me pick lower.
That is incorrect. Detroit got boned each of the last two years, dropping from 1 to 5.
My bad, guaranteed to stay in top5.
Second best odds can drop to 6th.
Oh okay, got it. I originally assumed you were referring to odds for the #1 overall pick.
The irony is that even if you tank super hard, and wind up with the worst record, your highest odds of any single pick is #5, with 47.9 percent.
Looks like that in regular order, but since the picks are simulated in the reverse order having 52.1% chance to stay in top4 is the most important thing.
I look at it as a two part lottery.
The most important thing is to get into the main event, top4.
After that, anything can happen.
Yeah,but you’re comparing apples to oranges bu grouping 4 picks together to compare to one pick. Even so,it’s isn’t much better than a coin flip
