- The Hornets won the lottery immediately after they traded Chris Paul.
- The Pelicans (Formerly Hornets) won the lottery again immediately after they traded Anthony Davis.
Can anyone crunch the numbers about how likely that is?
Don’t forget the NY Knick’s getting the Patrick Ewing pick in the first draft lottery.
The Bucks won their second one exactly fifty years after their first, and only 46 years after Kareem dumped them for the Lakers and won a dozen or so.
1.8% chance last night, and 6% chance when the Pels similarly were rewarded for giving their best player to the Lakers. That’s like 1/1000 already, not counting the others.
Cool. Now do the Orlando Magic. (4x)
