And we don't have it, Philly does. I would much lose a draft pick than in the Finals. One says you are good and one says you are bad. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

And winning a top 3 draft pick is also worse than losing the NBA finals.
Because one means your team made it to the finals, and the other means you didn't even make the playoffs. _________________ I would rather have questions I cannot answer than answers I cannot question - Richard Feynman

No team has ever lost their top 3 picks. Its not like a wallet, or a set of keys. Once you have it, you have it and cannot lose it.
Brooklyn will potentially have lost THREE top 3 picks due to the KG/Pierce trade debacle. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Lost in this is the fact that we CANNOT lose a top 3 pick this year. It is literally impossible. Either we keep a top 3 pick or we lose the #4-6 pick (assuming we finish as the 3rd worst team).

Actually I don't even think you can say we keep a top 3 pick. Because we don't own one to keep.
Edit: Not entirely true. We own a late first round from Houston.

lol y'all have really fallen in love with the idea of draft picks, huh?
Losing becomes addictive and not just for the players. In a weird way, it might be good for us even if we miss out on it. Maybe that will stop enabling the losing mentality.

Too many people trust the process. A process that has yet to be proven successful in the NBA.
I assume you think the 76'ers are the first team to be bad, get a some good draft picks, and either develop them or trade them to go on and be good?
Heard Daryl Morey recently speaking about it......out of the 1000's of simulations they have ran....tanking for top picks....or the process is the only method of building a quality team that produced consistent successful results.....but I am sure once or twice those methods for those stuck in the 80's would still work.
