00:00DRS as we know kind of the anti-tanking formula in the NBA if you finish with one of the three

00:06worst records in the NBA in a regular season you own the best shot but not at 35% at 14%

00:14to have that number one overall pick and then it breaks down from there so here are the odds

00:19matched up with the odds to have that first overall selection on the FanDuel Sportsbook

00:25Jazz, Wizards, Hornets all at 14% and a plus 550 ticket Pell's have the fourth best chance at 12

00:33and a half and a six to one number and then the one that Donnie is focused on tonight the Philadelphia

00:3976ers our fifth and final team with better than a 10% chance to earn that number one overall selection

00:46and a plus 750 price it is the way to save Donnie Wright's side's regular season referendum the

00:54Rockets already blew it but if the Philadelphia 76ers end up with Cooper Flagg in the first

01:00overall pick Donnie will once again pay attention to the regular season in the NBA it looks like a

01:06craps table right there right with the odds like you got like the Jazz the Wizards and the Hornets

01:09like the six and the eight you got the Pelicans and the Sixers like the five and nine and the Mets

01:13and the Raptors down there at the four and tens right now but by the way NBA like I do knock the

01:18NBA a lot for what they do this is a sound move by them because tanking organizations should not be

01:24rewarded automatically with the first overall pick like you shouldn't get credit for doing that

01:28now if you want to tank your organization just to get into the lottery with a chance to get a number

01:32one and then wind up with the fifth overall pick well that's what you do to yourself and understand

01:36teams are still going to tank because that's the only way to get a top draft pick have as much

01:40percentages as you can go but it's not as if it's like hey Ben the top three teams 25% apiece and the

01:45rest just gets slivers out there like you have a legitimate chance which is why for me being a Sixers fan

01:50you go well you're fifth in the odds there's no chance you can get that but look at the odds

01:53plus 550 is the favorite plus 750 is the Sixers you are right there now still it would be a mild

01:59upset but not like whoa we have a one percent chance to get the number one overall pick good

02:04on the NBA for doing this and changes to the NBA will happen tonight the Cooper flag is supposed to

02:09be one of those ultra talented maybe generational type basketball players to change the franchise now

02:14here's where I go on my slander at this point and rightfully so he's going to the jazz nobody wants

02:19to go to the jazz nobody watches yet nobody gives a damn about the jazz the jazz were about like

02:23the car malone john stockton you know booty shorts that they wore 25 years ago irrelevant franchise

02:29since then you take a look at the wizards the most irrelevant sports franchise in the history of

02:35professional sports in the united states nothing can rescue them the hornets were tainted by michael

02:40jordan ruining that franchise up and since they came into the league they've done absolutely nothing

02:45the pelicans you saw what they did with zion cooper fly goes there he gets a knee injury gained 65 pounds

02:51and we don't see him again he needs to be in philadelphia the only way the NBA can increase

02:56ratings next year for the regular season is bring the sixers back into the tent and that would exactly

03:01do that the nets what come on now the knicks are new york's franchise the raptors they're not even

03:06american they're in canada at this point the sixers are the only team we need right now for cooper flag

03:12i think most people would agree with that

03:14so
