West can just sit it out for the next X years as Mavs and Spurs going to be 1 and 2 seed for awhile.

NBA doesn't have much incentive to rig...its already a huge billion dollar business and already secured big contract for next 10 years. Its not some startup trying to sruvive. If anything, you'd think Silver not want Mavs get 1 pick just so that ppl wouldn't think it is rigged...also from what I understand, the process is run by E&Y...I doubt a reputed firm like E&Y would wanna risk its reputation by rigging stuff like this

This league is sickening rigged.


And Philly jumping too so their pick didn't go to OKC after the Embiid injury. I called the order of the top 4 before they called it it was so obvious

And yet, the 2025 NBA draft lottery was rigged. Really makes you think.

Of course. You just got a bunch of people who know nothing about how the lottery works and happily displaying their ignorance in the thread.

You knew the Doncic trade was crazy and there was something about it that was not right, and this explains everything for the Mavs.
