Well, nah. They wouldn't have stiffed the Knicks for this long in the draft. the NBA really really wants LA and NYC to do well because of the markets.
They stiff them because Knicks do well enough even being as bad as they are. Now that Nets are good look for that rivalry to be renewed. Gotta give the picks to cleveland and NOP to stop those teams from going under. Adam Silver is pwning you son
this thread has tremendous jinx potential...I don’t like it media and the NBA badly wanted Harden out of Houston...the Rockets are not liked

Pelicans traded Anthony Davis away and ended up being able to draft Zion. OKC has seemingly really good picks in the future and Houston is a bigger market, so I would hope the Rockets get to keep their pick if they have an awful record. TWolves got KAT and Edwards already. Cavs drafted Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins using their #1 overall picks. Hopefully a big market team like the Rockets can get a top pick and have a fairly quick rebuild.
I really think Harden gets the Lebron / Giannis treatment now that he's on the Nets. I can't see the refs going off on him anymore.
wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons for him forcing out of HOU was to finally get normal officiating
