    Utah & Washington down 4 picks.
    New Orleans down 3 picks.
    Brooklyn & Toronto down 2 picks.

    Dallas up 10 picks.
    San Antonio up 6 picks.
    Philadelphia up 2 picks.

    This is as rigged as you can get.

    I never thought that the NBA draft is rigged.. never. But man, cmon spurs and mavs with those percentages?? Now nico harrison is smiling as he knew the deal if they send it to Luka.

    Well rigged or not, this hurts.. Especially both are in our division. Although hornets, jazz and wizards should feel more strongly that this is rigged. Crazy these tanking teams only got 4-6.

    Gifted Cleveland Kyrie after LeBron dipped
    Gifted New Orleans AD after CP3 got traded
    Gifted New Orleans Zion after AD asked out
    Gifted Dallas Flagg after Luka was traded for pennies
    And gifted Wembanyama to a Spurs franchise on the verge of moving to Austin, literally left for dead (and not to mention the Parker/Diaw/French connections)

    “Send us your star to our desired team, we’ll reward you with the first pick.”

    Absolutely. I knew handing over Luka to the Lakers was gonna cost the league. Glad they sucked in the playoffs.

    We probably miss out on Kon Nipple at #10 too so may as well trade it and some other pieces for KD.

    people really think Nico just woke up 1 day and decided to trade Luka to the Lakers while not even attempting a bidding war

    he was ordered to by the owners who had made a deal with the league

    This **** is so blatantly rigged. Keeps Dallas relevant. Facilitates a Giannis trade to SA. Makes sure Philly keep their pick.

    This outcome gives Stone even more reason to just run it back.

    I've seen a lot of weird, shady, questionable things in my life... but that was the most blatantly obvious proof that the NBA is rigged.

    What sucks is they know they got us. We will keep watching and rooting for our team. Like a bull to the slaughter...

    trade it

    we need legitimate and immediate upgrades, and have too many young players as it is

    Cam and Reed Sheppard already signed a lease to rent a room in Ime’s dog house. Why add another?

    Couldn't have gone any worse for the Rockets. 10th pick and then the value of your 2029 Mavs swap just tanked as well.
