The league did the same thing with the pelicans and AD in the Zion draft. Should not be a surprise.

Yeah if you assume Ace and VJ are ahead of the 6-12 range

It really flattens out after the top 4.

Cue the conspiracy theories now. Don't blame them either. Can't believe Dallas got 1st. This stinks.

Yea I’d rather have the 5th or 6th pick than the 9th. What’s there to argue?

Even with all our injuries we were never going to out tank those 2 scrub teams.

We traded Siakam and didn't even get a real player back lmao IQ barely played, Scottie missed tons of time too. I guess we could've traded Poeltl and RJ? Like it gets to a point.

I’ve never been one for the draft conspiracy theories but after this year I think they have a way to rig it. I use to roll my eyes at this suggestion but no more.

Dallas from 11 to 1
Spurs from 8 to 2
Philly keeping their pick

Just too much going on there with the outside story lines to believe in coincidence.

spurs who we fought to stay behind in the last weeks got top 2 :lol:

Regret what? A play in team won the lottery 2 years in a row

exactly these pro-tankers aren't making sense at all.....they're acting like Wizards or Jazz just won the lotto, not the Mavs/Spurs

They're delusional. They have no concept of integrity. They'll continue making this place a cesspool for another year.

I'd rather be picking #5 than going on fake runs during the end of the season.

If you're almost mathematically eliminated what do these fake wins accomplish?

Higher draft pick >>>>>>>> moral wins

Spurs got the ammo they need to trade for Giannis

Literally lol. I know tankers are gonna look at Philly moving up and use that as their reason why we should have tanked harder but they are way more examples in this draft alone as to why tanking isn’t the answer lol

lol probably would have needed all the play-in teams to get into the top 4 for them to pipe down

The Mavs won a play-in game lmfao that's about as treadmill as it gets. The flattened lotto odds just makes it impossible. And other nba shenanigans lol

League sending a message, try to win and get rewarded lmao

Except the team with the worst record finished 5th.

Is 5th better than 9th??

Its not "good news" lmao

Why is drafting 9th instead of 6th good? The scouting could do the same good work and be earlier in the draft and less chance of missing out on guys...

We don't have to sugarcoat everything

8th? lol.

Kon is the man but I don’t think he is still on the board at 9.

Man unbelievable they need to change this lottery format. Let us see how Dallas jumped into the 1st spot, how the spurs and Philly jumped into top3.

I am sorry those 3 franchises are the last teams that deserve top picks.

Tanking doesn't matter shhhhhhhh...

We wona game vs the Celtics when they rested their stars, and we're going to have a top 4 defense next year.

:lol:

Just wasted a season, instead of seeing that Frontline of 2 All-stars and Yak under a pressurized situation to seal the fate of your poor coach one way or the other.
Rigged what!? Dallas had a chance not 0.0 chance, that's why they call it "lottery".. I had my money on the Jazz and Spurs
