Mavericks feel jilted, trade their franchise to keep Lakers above water, then get rewarded. NBA SUCKS! RIGGED!
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Great, 4th pick in a 2.5 pick draft.

Salaun and 6'7 Bailey to show for 2 years of utter agony.

The NBA is rigged 100%. I no longer care about this league. Someone needs to start a new professional basketball league.

I don’t think there’s any more doubt in my mind that the NBA is rigged.

I'll watch and spend some money if/when the league decides it's okay for the Hornets to win. But until that happens what's the point? It isn't a real competitive sport anymore.

Dallas is obvious rigged. Mavs get their star for trading Luka.

But the slap in the face is the Spurs getting #2 with the obvious news of Giannis wanting out. Just gave them a clear path to a Giannis trade gifting Harper to Milwaukee.


I'm done with the draft. Small markets just don't matter unless you're the Spurs with generational talent.

They really need to change the rules to stop teams moving up THREE years in a row.

Just canceled my Amazon league pass
