I mean, Detroit got 5 again, so Iād say this one is pretty realistic.

The clippers would cease existence if this happened. I don’t think there would be any trade that completely swings things in this opposite directions for 2 teams in any sport if this happens

The bottom of the West vs the bottom of the East is why Iām more optimistic about the LAC pick and less optimistic about the MIA pick. If Utah trade Lauri that still only leaves Utah and POR as teams LAC is clearly better than. Every other West team has an outcome where theyāre better than LAC (especially if Kawhi misses his usual significant amount of games).
MIA on the other hand should be better than WAS/BKN/CHA/CHI/DET/TOR and that puts them pretty clearly into the play-in. The ceiling is lower than it has been, but the pick not conveying and going to ā26 unprotected probably requires losing the 9-10 game as a worst-case outcome
