    and nba people wonder why nba ratings keep dropping... lol this is exactly why. it's not just the 3s or the game itself... it's the fact that so many fans have realized the nba is the most corrupt major pro sports league, and it's not even close

    He is slow and not athletic. I was high on him until I watched Fears and he looks like a slow Reed Sheppard. Slow and too long to get his shot off. Fears is worth trading up for….oh wait Stone never makes moves.

    Rockets wont win championship unless paying large amount of luxury taxes and having superstars.

    Just said it from business standpoint.

    Depends on what team the Mavs have built around Flagg in 4 years. Kyrie and AD will either be retired or really old, so it's hard to say. But if Dallas had finished where they were supposed to in this lottery, that had a great shot at being a top 5 pick. Now I think best case scenario is late lottery.

    The one upside is that the 2027 Nets pick is looking a little better. They won't get much of a boost from the #8 pick and the free agent class this summer ain't that good.

    Just started scouting but first impression for guys in our range if we keep it, I like what I'm seeing from Jase Richardson right now, that may change as I compare him to others.

    Adam Silver has ruined the NBA. The new odds dor draft lottery is a joke. The all-star format is a joke. The play-in tournament is a joke. The NBA cup is so stupid. And people say he’s a good commissioner. I miss Stern so much.

    That’s exactly. It’s harder to manipulate the results live.

    Right...so why not just do this live?

    Actually, they could still rig it if done live.

    Only way I won't believe it is rigged is if they had every representative of the team actually make their draw live on camera.

    For as much as I hate it, really hate it, if it was the Spurs with the top pick I would despise it somehow more. “Silver”line…
