The NBA lottery puts teams on edge and for the first time in quite some time, the Warriors will be involved in it.
After all, it could absolutely change the trajectory of a franchise.
Just last year we saw the Pelicans nab the top spot while not being a top-three candidate for it. They were able to select Zion Williamson and easily become a playoff contender.
For a team like the Knicks, that was the brutal reality of the lottery. Let’s assume that doesn’t happen to the Warriors. Even if they do land a top pick, there will consideration to trade it.
