We have these spots for the tanking lottery.

Do you want to be in there or not?

Do you want to throw away?

You're not allowed to make the playoffs.

Your tickets are going to be 50% off for the entire year, but you can reserve your spot in the tanking lottery right now.

So Washington, Utah are like, that sounds great.

You know, that's not really much of a disincentive.

Adam Silver, grow some fucking chest hair and figure this out, please.

Um, Clancy writes in, would you trade Palo for a top three pick in the 2026 draft?

Let's say it's Peterson, DeBansa, and Cambuza in some order.

I would not.

Combo of how expensive Palo is.

Not 100% positive he's a winning four playoff rounds player yet from a defensive standpoint.

That defensive mistake he made.

Did you see that three he gave up when they lost?

And he just got lost on the biggest play of the game.

I don't 100% trust him as a two-way guy.

You could trade him and have one of these guys on a rookie contract.

I personally would trade him for any of the top four.

Because... Does this feel like something Sacramento would do?
