My theory is assuming some rigging, they rig to get top talent to teams with no attendance. LIke, the pels, like 6ers. Problem for knicks is, as long as they’re selling out, no need to help them out. Help the teams w empty arenas. Unless we just snake bit which I suppose is more likely. Ugh.

Let's build Frankenballer!

We will take the various body parts of injured players and create one ungodly mofo creature!

1. The knee of Porzingis
2. The achilles of KD
3. The brain of JR Smith

I leave the rest as an exercise for the reader. Any contributions?

They'll never admit to it but there's def coincidence to the notion that lottery "winners" are struggling franchises that require a draw to remain viable.

Yeah Zion looks like everything we expected him to be coming out of college. He is a generational prospect. That **** was rigged for the Pelicans to get him just so Lebron can get to play with his buddy AD. That pissed me off. Zion supposed to be a Knick.

If the NBA was rigged, Zion would play in New York now.

Zion to Pelicans + Lakers getting a high pick ----> Lakers getting A.Davis
NBA was desperate to get Lebron help so they did with this move.

I guess they're thinking as Knicks making a lot of money without success anyway.
+KD-Irving to NY already happened.

Tim Hardaway JR salary dump looks better and better for Mavs.
Maybe DSJ was the real salary dump?

With the current production of THJ he might be able to get a $10m/year contract or sth similar.

Kings beat the clippers in LA, our other first is looking nice

The Heat and Jazz need to step their games up and over take them.

Slightest or Immensely, you never know with the Draft. Either way its a nice distraction during an otherwise disappointing non entertaining season.

I don't see why the Mavs need KP -- they seem fine without him

Also ....

I don't see why the Mavs need Luka -- they seem fine without him

Just some bad luck down the stretch again. Maxi is a god. Coach Carlisle just got terribly unlucky again.

NBA is not rigged. Because this doesnt make sense.

If the majority of the owners doesnt know: The owners would idiot billionaires who cant pay anyone competent to check a simple lottery mechanism. And billionaires are the kind of person that is fooled all the time, right?

If every owner knows: First its very difficult for hundreds of people keep a common secret. And teams`s owners change from time to time. Secondly, if is rigged all the owners and NBA management would have to come to an agreement about the next team to profit from the lottery every single year. Draft position is a huge deal to a the entire franchise, a billionaire enterprise. And its only one lottery each year and a lot of mouths to feed. How can you keep everybody happy? Its too difficult. "I am sorry you didnt win the lottery this year, but you can chill because your time will come 5 or 6 years from now". And it takes one pissed billionaire to be a Whistleblower of the whole operation.
