0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand 70 of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Monday, May 12th, 2025. It is a, shall we say, monumental day for the top two properties of Ted Liances' monumental sports and entertainment empire, The Capitals and Wizards.
0:38.7	The Caps, they are at the Carolina Hurricanes, Monday night at 7 in game four of that
0:43.5	best of seven second round series in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
0:46.4	So the Caps now trail in the series, two games to one.
0:49.6	This off a four-nothing loss at the Hurricanes on Saturday evening, and the Wizards, the whole point
0:58.0	of them tanking comes to a head on Monday night as we on Monday night have the 2025 NBA
1:05.5	draft lottery, aka the sweepstakes for Duke's Cooper flag. Will our tanking wizards capture the flag?
1:14.4	Your percent chances for the Wizards in the 2025 NBA draft lottery, number one overall pick
1:19.9	14 percent, number two overall pick 13.4 percent. Number three overall pick 12.7 percent. Number four, overall pick, 12 percent. Number 3 overall pick, 12.7%, number 4 overall pick, 12%, number 5 overall pick, 27.8%, number 6 overall pick, 20%.

2:10.4	just three out of the 24 times. 11 times the franchise stayed where it was, 10 times the franchise fell.
2:21.3	So the bullets slash wizards essentially are 3, 10, and 11 all time in the NBA draft lottery.
2:30.7	That is our team's history in the NBA draft lottery.
2:37.0	The damn Washington wisdom.
2:43.1	Exactly. Thank you, Stephen A. Smith. Hello and welcome to this Monday installment of the Al-Galdi podcast, which follows Washington, D.C. area sports so that you don't have to.
