If you want an example, let's say you face 4 doors, two open on stairs, one on a flat room and the last lead to a hole. If you randomly pick the doors, there's 50% odds to end in a stairs, 25% odds to end in the flat room and 25% odds to end in a hole. Now if the request is "to not pick a door leading to an hole", you have 3 chances out of 4, so 50%+25%=75% odds. Hope it help clarifies.
Speaking of odds, let's say the Knicks end up winning the lottery and offer Mitchell Robinson + the number one pick for Zion ( they need that star power and Thibodeaux doesn't like rookies), would you consider it ? If not, what additionnal assets would you need ?
