Giannis back to Milwaukee after they trade him for a rebuild package? Would be some smooth operating.


My bad. GA to SA.

But my point stands. SA would trade Castle ( wing) + #2 ( another wing) ?who would be left?


Sorry didn’t read your post well enough to pick up what you were saying.

GA should cost Castle + #2, IMO, but the NBA has proven me wrong on that plenty before.


Thats fine.. yeah Castle + #2 at the minimum for GA.
Hopefully not though becquse our championship window would overlap with that freak team

Absolutely shocked the liar shows up to once again prove he hates, and doesn't understand, reality.

Can I hear the story again about how the Magic were in the bottom 10 all season in 3pt attempts?

And we're still at a small number of lotteries to use as data, so it's volatile. Maybe in 200 years if we're up to like 25+ miracle winners like the pace we're on now, we can conclude there's something fishy going on. And by "we" I mean the lizard people that have taken over the world by then. We'll be long dead.


This is my view too. I’m not joining the conspiracy bandwagon. Remember, the teams see the drawings privately. You would need conspiracy by 14 and then by 30 by another few lotteries in. Make it 15 and 31 with the NBA as the final actor.

Wizards dropped 4 spots and Suns lost their pick. So both teams probably not improving a lot next season and Suns likely trading Durant.

Remember, we get the less favorable of their picks next year. So since both teams probably suck next year, we should get a lottery pick.

They owe a top 8 protected first to New York. If they have to send it, our swap simplifies to just Phoenix!

Example:
Washington gets the 9th pick and sends it to New York.
Phoenix wins the lottery and gets the #1 pick.
We swap with Phoenix and get their pick!
