The subtle fact we would be in 2nd now if we lost the two games we won and even possibly have a shot at #1...just a thought.

well...technically speaking, we still have the possibility to end with the #1 pick. It will all depend on the luck of the ping pong ball.

So if Dallas beat Phoenix and improve to 25 wins, while us and Atlanta lose out and finish with 24 wins, do we own the tiebreaker?

No we split the balls for 3rd and 4th. The worst we can do now is tied for 5th and that is if we win both meaningless games against teams that are fighting for seeding!

Can see the suns playing a full team against Dallas and smashing them. Dallas will rest everyone, Mark Cuban might even suit up just to get the result over the line.

Ok. So we have a top 5 pick in this year draft. 

One of: Doncic, JJJ, Ayton, Bagley, Bamba or Young will be in our team next year. All we need is ine more defeat. 

Now, the difference between getting JJJ or Doncic vs Bamba or Young will all depend on what happens on our last 2 games.  We just need to finish 0-2 and hope Dallas wins that last game against the Suns and Atlanta wins that last home game against Philly to finish the season on a 3-0 run for their fans.

We should get first dibs at drafting JJJ because he's a legacy player

Legacy is a strong word and should not be applied to any rookie. 

I think if we can get into the top 3 we will be in a great position to do it. 

I have JJJ and Doncic above Ayton but see Ayton been drafted 1 or 2 above JJJ.

Technically we don't.  There's a minute chance that if everything remains the same and we lose a coin flip between atlanta and Dallas for draft order and three teams jump us in the lottery then we'll be 8th. But there's a 1/1000 chance of that happening compared to a 38% chance we get the 1, 2, or 3 pick.

What do you think legacy means? His dad played for the magic.

 I didnt know his dad played for the magic. I though you were referring to his potential “legacy” in the league.
