They won in 2023, were the same in 2024, and dropped one spot in 2025.

So they would still be eligible to win this lottery based on that alone - they've only moved up once not twice.
Yeah, it looks like you're right.

I was trying to understand why CHI kept moving up in the lottery sim, and the only thing I could think of was that it wasn't their original pick. Now that I know teams can win twice, I wonder if the original pick thing I mentioned above would still allow a team to move up a third time?
