I can't watch on ESPN. I need somebody to post maniacally if we move up.

As expected.

Next time, lose those games for the lottery combinations lost might have led to a top 4 pick

The Jazz, Wiz, and Pels also getting f****d takes the sting out of it a little bit. But come on, Dallas, SA, and Philly do not deserve this in the slightest.

Dallas wins. Reward for gifting Doncic to LA?

There will be massive conspiracy theories for there was talk of Dallas would be rewarded for sending Luka

Welp. Not only did Portland not win, but two superstars are coming west.

Don't worry, I was told the Blazers already have their superstars on the roster.

Lol.
The NBA is such a joke. They REALLY need to stop incentivizing losing and fix the lottery system.

I find it hilarious that if you asked basically any fan what team they think the NBA would want Flagg to go to, they'd say Mavs and Spurs...and that basically happened. It 100% feels rigged.

Wow that is some crooked bull ****.

Dallas and Nico bailed out by the league, Spurs gifted another high pick.

Teams that need a star player left on the outside looking in.

Yeah, the league plays favorites. Big market or storied franchise and you are living on easy street.
