Clarification regarding Utah's 2012 first round draft picks

Whatever. Rubio's played all of 30 games (remember Brandon Jennings as a rookie), Love still sucks on defense and oh yeah, so does Derrick Williams. Not worried about them.

I could easily see them being around a top 5 team in 3 years. Most of the best teams now of course are getting up there in age. OKC obviously an exception.
 
We can do all the wish'n and hopin' and think'n and prayin' we want, have GSW finish with 9th best record and there will still be a non-negiligible chance they make it to the top 3 and we lose it anyway. At least I think the chance will be non-negligable
 
Well I'm glad I asked because now I have some clarity. The reason I got it totally backwards was my interpretation of the team being "protected" in each scenario. And it certainly does get considerably more complicated if we miss out on either of the first rounders this year. Thanks for helping me figure this out.
 
Gregbroncs is the only person who solved the riddle. Congratulations, none of you can read. And if I had to guess I would say the OP is just jerking with you.

Except for the fact that I mentioned it right away.
 
I haven't really paid attention to this yet because I've just been focusing on the season itself. But now, as things wind down, I'm starting to pay closer attention. So, let me get this straight:

The Warriors have to finish with the seventh-worst (or even worse) record in the league in order for us to obtain their first round pick in this year's draft...and...the Jazz have to make the playoffs this season in order to keep our own first round pick.

SO...

If the Warriors end up with the eighth-worst record, or in fact have a better one, we won't get their first round pick this year...and...if we miss the playoffs, we lose our first round pick this year...so we could very well end up without a first rounder at all this year.

So, all we have to do is win out and pull a Tonya Harding on Steph Curry, David Lee, Klay Thompson, and Andrew Bogut.

The posters on this site are dicks to new members and lying to you. Terms of the pick are top secret and nobody outside KOC knows unless they are members of NMBLA. All the information is printed inside their highly secretive magazines. That is the only place to get the truth.
