I’m not sure if this or the D Rose draft is a more blatant case of a rigged draft :lol:

Sam Vecenie: "Dallas, that's team who'd trade Flagg for Giannis. 100%"

He was skeptical in general, but thought that was the fit for their timeline. I guess the NBA rigging may benefit us for a change.

Flagg, AD, Lively, and 5 firsts

Guarantee if we send Giannis to a big market we’ll still get jumped in the lotto for years.

So is Luka for Flagg, Davis and Christie fair yet?. Still not sure about that

I'm curious to see how it would work. Would have to be a three teamer, at least.

You can't get jumped in the lotto if you just trade for the #1 pick after the fact.

I think if Giannis does leave we are going to get that number two pick.

Luka for AD and Flagg. Give Nico Executive of the Year Award.

The Mavs deserved the heat Bob (from the criticisms, not the threats). The Bucks are just as responsible for guys like Bob Myers being elevated and revered. Notice how he jumped off the GSW ship before it sank. You are welcome for a short sighted, silly Bogut deal that your predecessor served to you on a silver platter that enabled the initial wave of success.

Ugh the NBA

How ironic on the 40th anniversary of the lotto we get another David Stern special.

Nothing matters. Rules and norms only exist if they can be enforced, and if no one cares to...

I feel horrible for Washington fans. This was their chance to get a possible true blue-chip star to help finally turn that franchise around.

Third year in a row the worst team in the league dropped all the way to 5.

like I get why we think this, I'm pretty sure this would be the type of thing where there would be massive lawsuits and jail time(?) if they found out this was a fraud. And that is including a big 4 signing off on it. it would be a massive scandal

Plossum · Post #199 » by **Plossum** » Mon May 12, 2025 11:45 pm

I was kinda hoping Charlotte won it. They’ve never been relevant save for a short run when Grandmama was on the team way back when. Would’ve been nice for them to have Flagg.

Rich and powerful have no consequences these days. But I digress.

On a positive note, in my eyes we can put away the Giannis trade ideas and focus on moving forward with him. The Flagg thing was the one move I could’ve seen in a vacuum for Giannis.
