I think it works out for Philly landing 3 because they don't need a big at all and will get a top player at a slightly reduced cost. Knicks will look to make a splash with trading that pick
Moving from Rubio/Love/Pekovic to potentially Rubio/Wiggins/Towns. Wow, good for Minny. Biggest holes are at the forward spot but depending on Lavine's progression they may be able to swing for one in a deal.
So no conspiracy shenanigans for the Silver regime. You damn well LA & NYC would've gotten the top two under Stern.
