According to Tankathon, here are some possibilities.
If we presume that BKN, PHX, LAL, and possibly ORL, are all below the Sixers, then :
Sixers 5th, Kings 6th = 50.6% chance of top 3, 15.1% chance of #1
Sixers 4th, Kings 6th = 59.3% chance of top 3, 18.2% chance of #1
Sixers 4th, Kings 5th = 63.9% chance of top 3, 20.7% chance of #1
Lakers in the 3rd spot = 46.9% chance of top 3, 15.6% chance of #1
Lakers in the 2nd spot = 55.8% chance of top 3, 19.9% chance of #1
If the Lakers remain with the 3rd worst record, practically every combination is just as good or downright better. If the Lakers finish with the 2nd worst record, there is room to improve upon that.
I believe the top 3 percentages should be a bit lower for us, as there is the possibility of the Sixers placing 2nd and the Kings 3rd, which would nullify a swap.
