    Kyrie is older, and he's injured. Flagg won't get many touches there.

    I will say this...I think Cooper has been over hyped, I don't think he's a true generational prospect like Wemby is, I do think he's a great prospect though.

    I don't want Giannis on the Rockets, but he can be a huge addition for the Spurs. This hurts.

    Oh forgot about Wiggins. Lebron was drafted years before Kyrie.

    Summer league rings don't count. Wiggins was the one I missed though.

    Easy to have strong fan bases when you keep getting gifted franchise players in the draft via having top 2 picks often.

    Yep we never rallied on the first picks. We'll just get a superstar.

    The NBA barely even tried to hide it. Ridiculous.

    Ewing to Knicks
    Lebron to Cavs
    D Rose to Bulls
    Wemby to Spurs
    Flagg to Mavs

    All rigged. Not to mention Cavs lose Lebron and win it to get Kyrie. Pelicans lose AD then are awarded Zion

    Fake lottery

    Fake trades

    Fake games

    They are cheating everywhere without hiding.

    Do I still want to watch NBA?

    It's just wasting my time.

    When they got Kyrie, the dude from Fla St, and Thompson, how many playoff games did they even make it to? 0

    Mavs had a 1.8 percent chance, but after the Doncic fiasco, which was shady as all hell, I think a lot of people saw this coming. The NBA is so suspicious.

    The Doncic trade suddenly makes....a lot more sense.

    I hate that I can't quit this rigged ass league.

    This was a 100% rigged … to be honest I’m shocked they were so brazen about it…deep down I’ve known the NBA was rigged, but this is the final nail in the coffin. I’m actually shocked they were this obvious about it in the end.

    watching the NBA is no different than watching WWE. with that said I’m done with the NBA
