It may be February, but the Kings will never not get to care about the lottery.
With all the crazy dysfunction surrounding the Kings, the drama about George Karl's job security, and the debates of effort vs. scheme, it's easy to forget the least-important-but-still-kinda-important aspect of the season; the Kings 2016 1st round pick.
Yes, this is a discussion about the lottery. We might have all hoped to avoid this conversation this season, but at least this year has a new wrinkle in the regularly-scheduled lottery monotony—it's best for the Kings if they don't get to keep their pick.
