NBA rigging conspiracy theorists should be rich from sports betting, since they apparently know exactly what the league is going to do in advance.

None of them are, though. Or as I like to say, the league is only rigged in the past tense.

The point guard who backs down, crab dribbling from the back court whenever a decent defender is on him. The point guard that can't dribble.

Just imagine next year that is Lebron. (Yes I still believe the front office have this as a top priority if they secure a couple top 10-15 picks, to use one on Bronny).

No chance in hell Lebron would leave LA for the Spurs. I hope that isn’t the Spurs plan A.

The only concern is health. If he stays healthy wait to see what he's like in year 3. Chances are he's putting up something like 24/12/4 blocks on good efficiency while being a dpoy candidate.

Seems like he only gets the ball if he steps out to jack it, there’s no one on the team that can throw an entry pass apparently. The number of times he drew a switch and had deep position on CP3 or Klay and they didn’t get him the ball was just gross.

The conspiracy theorists on this board need to stop crying already. Everything we've seen thus far should make it very obvious why rigging anything for SA makes absolutely no sense


Rigging for San Antonio makes perfect sense lol. He was getting mentored by SA players early
It is so obvious.

I don't know why fans think the lottery is real. Certain stars go to certain markets. Hell when LeBron was coming out of high school did you honestly think someone other than Cleveland was going to get LeBron?


It would have been crazy for LeBron going to Detroit. That team wins a championship out of the gate. NBA put him in his home state and the rest is history!


Which is why Zion, who was a MASSIVE draw at the time of the lottery, went to noted NBA hotspot New Orleans. Lmfao at these tin hat wearing imbeciles.

He is going wherever his son goes.

And he would totally jump to a team where he could add to his rings this late in his career.

The Spurs would ideally get their three picks in the top 15, waste one on Bronny hoping for the best and get a guy that is still a top 5 player at 39 years old, a guy that can make passes Sochan could only dream of.

They potentially get a ring in Wemby’s first three years and build on that.

Time is already ticking for the spurs imo. Not off to a good start with a senile old coach who's too busy stopping the game to yell at fans to realize his point guard isn't a point guard. My guess is he does what every great big does at some point. Ditch his small market team and suit up for the Lakers lol. Especially if the spurs aren't able to build around him.

Wemby will play for the lakers, along with Jokic, Doncic and Giannis, as every season

Your theory is that the NBA rigged the lottery to send a massive incoming star to New Orleans to appease the 11 Pelican fans because AD just left them?
That’s your theory?
Get a better theory.
Lol.

He'd be Goated with the Bron Bron sauce, Sof. Imagine, 10 years from now, a 50 year old lebron throwing perfectly levied post entry passes to a now 7 foot 6 Wembenyama in his prime. Just beautiful basketball. Imagine it, Sof. Imagine.

I read that he was implying someone on the Spurs should be fired for making him play with a misspelled jersey name. Dudes got a pretty lame attitude but what do you expect getting mentoring from Parker, Diaw, Batum, Gobert etc

"I read that" lol. Maybe just check your "sources" before making assumptions like that, even if you dont understand french the fact that he was laughing after saying this should be enough for anyone to understand but probably not for you.
