The most successful example of this in recent history was Boston trading the #1 pick to Philadelphia in 2017 so they could pick Jayson Tatum at #3. The Sixers took Markelle Fultz with that #1 pick and he turned out to be one of the biggest first overall pick busts in league history. The Lakers took Lonzo Ball at #2 who was at least a pretty solid starter until that never-ending string of injuries ruined his career. Point being -- it's not the worst idea to trade down a couple spots if you know who the other teams are going to pick and the guy you want will still be there on the board. But it's risky considering you will be forever blamed if it doesn't work out (Atlanta trading down two spots to take Trae Young at #5 instead of drafting Luka at #3 in 2018, for example).
Both teams should just shoot full court shots the entire time. First ever 3-0 win

The game would take like fifteen hours because they’d be taking shots with 23 seconds left on the clock and the poor ball boys would have to keep running into the stands to get the ball. I’m down.

I like that Lauri is out for "rest" reasons. I thought the NBA banned load management, also know as rest.
If 4 players go 1-5 are guaranteed superstars with 1 megastar and the fifth is a bust who will be picked in the top 3, I want to pick 4th.
