Just realized that this is actually false - Nuggets (9-3) play the same day against the Cavs, and the game ends a few hours earlier.
Mavs (9-4) could also potentially do it, but they're against a harder opponent in the Kings.

37 picks is fucking crazy they could just buy out an entire roster of stars lol
Idk who #1-#29 are but I know exactly which team is #30
It's insane that Klay STILL has yet to hit a 20 point game this season
Steph needs more help, trade him to the Lakers for two second round picks (totally 100% reasonable price imo)
Weird, it's usually Miles Bridges throwing the jabs

Suns should look to beat and rack up the point differential against Memphis and Portland. If they have a better PD than the Lakers and the Jazz, and UTA beats LAL, Suns could sneak their way into first place. If LAL beats UTA, they'll be a wildcard and will still need that PD.
KD, Booker, and/or Beal need to bring the heat and blow out MEM and POR by 15+ each to have a shot.

Every expansion team in its first day, does that count?
Everyone in the 2004 draft
Everyone in the 2005 draft except CP3
Everyone in the 2006 draft except Lowry, Rudy Gay, PJ Tucker
Everyone in the 2007 draft except KD, Al Horford, Mike Conley Jr, Jeff Green, Thad Young
2008 draft still has many active players remaining though
