This is just a nightmare.

I knew this situation was bad enough before. But we doubled down on it this year. Or am I wrong. Maybe someone could explain it.
This quote says it pretty well I think.
"This isn’t quite true. The Sixers also have the Kings’ 2018 first rounder, which is top-10 protected in 2018 and unprotected in 2019 but can only convey in 2018 if the Kings give their first rounder to the Bulls in 2016. So any trade that reduces the protection on the Bulls pick this year doesn’t impact the Sixers this year, but it makes it more likely that they end up with a 2018 top-10 protected pick instead of a 2019 unprotected pick. Given DMC’s contract expires in 2018, that could be a problem for the Sixers.

If I read this right then.... If we finish outside the bottom 10 this year, Chicago gets our FRP. Then the Sixers will also get our 2018 pick if we finish outside the bottom 10 that year. OR we can keep our pick this year if we fall inside the bottom 10 but Chicago will have a shot at our pick next year if we don't fall in the bottom 10 next year. AND the Sixers WILL get our 2019 first round pick.
It looks like even if we lose our pick this year, we will still be in the same situation in 2018. If we keep our pick this year then we lose 2019 and could lose 2018. The best case scenario is to stay in the bottom 10 this year and next year. Then give up a 2nd to Chicago and a first to Sixers. I'm not saying we should do that.
So we are looking for free agents at this point I guess.
