Are you being pessimistic or realistic? F it,either way your right.

How badly would it suck if a team currently slotted 8th-14th jump ahead of the Warriors, but then the Warriors also jump into the top 3?
I can definitely see Detroit and/or Toronto jumping into the top 3 pushing the pick back a spot. I could also see Brooklyn jump into the top 3. It would be just Stern's style.

OK, I just did it--called 2 heads, and got 2 heads. First try.
Hell yes.
Realistic...with a 2% chance of pessimistic.
For the record, I called 2 heads and got 1 heads 1 tails.

I think Stern wants to teach GS a lesson about blatantly tanking. They didn't even try to hide the fact that they were tanking.

The Jazz don't really have any bad contracts at the moment.

I'm wondering how Stern perceives the Warriors and if he likes the storyline of GSW moving into the top 3 (or keeping the pick at 7). Both storylines, from my Jazzfans pov, reward tanking. But after Bill Simmons article on the history of bad luck for that crap organization, I wonder if he wants to give them a positive in their perpetually negative storyline.
But on second thought - if Stern really wanted to tell the story of how they finally got some good luck he would have preceded it with them losing the coin flip (a negative before the ultimate positive). No, they already got their positive. Their pick falls back to 8th.
I heard the Raptors will look to trade their pick if they don't move into the top 3.

The Pistons had the worst attendance in the NBA by far (74.6%--next worst was Charlotte at 81.5%), are a large market, are thee city that resembles our struggling domestic economy, and are just about completely void of talent or players to get excited about.
They'll get a top 3. Charlotte will. And I think Toronto or Brooklyn will.

Here's a list of draft results from past years. It's amazing how crappy drafts are sometimes. It seems to be an absolute crap shoot, seeing as you'll have two or three picks in the second round, who would go in the top ten or five in some drafts. Who knows what you'll get at #8?

Seems like all the trades that get the most press never seem to happen and the trades that you hear nothing about are the ones that actually go through.

regardless of how many coins are flipped, the chances are always 50%. Each coin flip counts as a separate instance and has no effect on the previous (or next) coin flip.
A better thing to try would be to find one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-sided_die (call a number) and if you get that number, that's the chances we have at getting our pick.
--note: since I'm a D&D nerd and happen to have one of these at my desk at work, I tried it. Called a 2, got a 3. Tried it again, called a 4, got a 4! *We're totally getting that pick!*

If the Jazz really want to get rid of Jefferson or Raja, and they can't get any assets in return, they can just amnesty or waive them. They both expire in a year, so there's absolutely no reason why the Jazz should have to add a top 10 pick to move either of them. That would be ****ing retarded (nevermind that Jefferson almost certainly has positive value to some teams in the league).

Uh...I think you've misinterpreted what he said. The chance of flipping consecutive tails is 25%. That is, you can flip heads-heads, heads-tails, tails-heads or tails-tails all with equal probability (25%...although the middle two events can be considered a 50% chance of flipping one of each).
