FWIW, Memphis' play-in win put DAL in the lottery and led to the current euphoria about the advent of the Cooper Flagg era.
But that one win, not only made MEM miss the lottery. It also cause them to give up their lottery-protected FRP, kind of a double whammy. Plus it gave a team that was basically ready to go fishin', the ignominy of getting spanked 4-0 in the first round. Nevermind they have their own roster problems, i.e., what to do with Morant.
