A few days before the end of the regular season, the NBA split into two very distinct groups. On the one hand the short-term ambitious teams, whose goal is therefore to win games, we agree, and on the other a few franchises whose ambitions are clearly turned towards the 2023 Draft, all the more so in this year which should crown Victor Wembanyama with the status of first pick.

Le Tankathon 2023
Good deal of the day – Pistons, Spurs, Hornets, Wizards: it’s losing all sides down the ladder and, if the games are made for the worst records, it’ll be interesting to see who picks up the fifth-worst record with a big four-team fight. 10% chance of having Wemby, you have to earn it.
Bad Trade of the Day – Rockets: we put them there for the form even if it will not change anything in the end. Houston is assured of a place in the Top 3 or rather the Worst 3. A victory once morest the best team in the West, that can only put balm in the heart of the young rockets.
