The Lakers are currently 20000:1 odds to win the championship — meaning if you bet $100 on them, you would lose $100.

Was this at the beginning of the season?

It's in quotes so not sure when that quote was made. Had you not put it in quotes then I would take it that it was as of today.

That is what threw me at first. Then thought it was odds from a couple of weeks to a month or so ago due to it being in quotes. Then realized he said it was a throw-away bet

When I wake up in the morning the Lakers will be eliminated from the playoffs and locked into the 8th worst record in the league giving them a 26% chance of jumping into the top 4 and a 99.6% chance of staying in the top 10 which will make the pick convey to the Pelicans.

If the Lakers get the 1st pick is that protected and doesn't go to the Pells?

Nope, it would go to the Pels if #1.

The Lakers pick is unprotected, meaning no matter what happens or had happened the Lakers were not going to get the pick. The Pelicans traded this Lakers pick to the Grizzlies(part of the Valenciunas for Steven Adams trade) but it was top 10 protected. So basically:

1-10 - Goes to the Pelicans
11-30 - Goes to the Grizzlies



The Pelicans have two 1st round picks, their own(only if it's top 4) and the above Lakers pick. They traded those 2 picks a total of 3 times AND there's a chance they get to keep both picks. :lol:

That was a BS call with Beverly only getting the tech and not a double technical as initially called. They realized Morris already had one and rescinded the double tech
