From a basketball perspective I hope he fails miserably, particularly as he does play for the Spurs, but I hope everyone that doesn't play for the Rockets to fail miserably, so par for the course.
If it wasn't this, he would have had something different. SA is going to get a top 2 pick and Dallas will the other one as pay for the Doncic trade. NBA is as crooked as it gets. I wish him the best, because this could be a serious problem. SA is Europe's team now, so the Atlanta pick they own will probably be top 4 as well.
Hope Wemby is OK and fully recovers. On the tank front: Spurs should be able to get to 6th worst record without too much trouble now. 35% chance at a top4 pick from there
Yes, looks like you're right. https://www.deseret.com/1989/7/14/18815655/olajuwon-hospitalized-with-blood-clot-in-leg/
I hate S.A. I was very much into them getting a playoff appearance to hurt their pick. As people have said, it smells of tank. But I don't think they'd intentionally sit their best player to tank. So maybe he has an issue and they're treating it conservatively at getting the benefit of tanking as well?
Damn, Silver has been pulling out all the stops this year. No one will be surprised if they land Flagg this offseason.
The s**tty thing is, my first thought was that they're tanking again. But this is a serious issue and it's good they caught it before something truly terrible happens.
Spurs with 2 top 5 draft picks in this loaded draft is almost worst case scenario for us. i was hoping Wemby was going to carry them to the play-in...
