How should the six worst teams in the NBA, who have virtually who shot at making the playoffs, handle the rest of the season? We have some ideas

The 2017-18 NBA season may only be several weeks old, but that doesn’t mean some teams aren’t already bound for the lottery.

Sure, there is a lot of basketball to be played, and anything can happen, but most likely the 2-12 Dallas Mavericks will not going to the playoffs. Last year, Miami started 11-30 and finished 30-11, so turnarounds do happen, but they are rare.

The Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets are not going to the playoffs. There are a few other teams that have very little chance, but these six teams have almost no shot.

Now, these six teams are faced with tough decisions on what to do for the rest of the season and going forward. Here is how they should play out the rest of the season.
