Just went back and looked. The game we should have decided the tank was on (at the latest) was the NO game where Luka went out early and Kyrie had to play 41 minutes to win. We should have lost that game and every game since. Had we done that, we would be tied with Indiana at 33-40 for the 8th spot in the draft. We'd be looking to out tank Washington and Portland to get to the 6th spot in the draft and well away from conveying our pick.
At that point we're looking to use that top 1-8ish pick to rope NYK into a trade to get our future pick back as well as some upgrades/other picks. Whether the upgrades and/or picks come directly from NY or a 3rd team doesn't matter as long as we get our pick back from them. Not as easy as typing out on a computer, but not rocket science either.
