If you mean Oden (and you may not), I just don't get this line of
thought.  Even if we have the worst record in the league (which
will be a challenge, even now), the odds are heavily against us
getting the #1 pick.

The NBA has put some effort into making it unprofitable to tank
the season.  Of all the strategies for trying to improve a team,
losing games to get the #1 pick has to be the worst.  You give up
an entire season, then get to watch some other team take "your"
prize.

Don't people remember how it felt last time?
