I mean, do you want your GM to believe in the basketball gods?

Yeah, you do.

Yeah, I guess so.

But also, you also want him to know the probabilities.

Yeah, it's still basically 50-50.

But yeah, unpack this here, Tess.

This Pacers-Clippers going to LAC.

This is huge for the Clippers.

Yeah, it's good.

Not only did they get Zubats, they also got the 20-29 first.

That's pretty incredible for Zubats, a zero-time All-Star, a zero-time All-NBA player.

He was okay last year.

He wasn't great.

I think he's going to fit nice for the Pacers for sure, but the Clippers went from having a 0% chance of having a...

a pick period to getting the highest pick they could possibly get.

And they got Darius Garland, who knows what they'll end up doing with Matherin.

But at the very least you got Garland as a young guy, you got whoever they drafted number five as a young guy, probably a pathway to, yeah, it's a pathway to at least a new team.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

And it felt like they were stuck with Kawhi, Paul George, James Harden.

Unless, of course, the NBA finally wraps up their investigation into the aspiration scandal and take away this pick from the Clippers.
