Do you see who won the lotto? Dallas a team who made the play in… which most of you would be crying about if we made it to the play in.
This just proves tanking doesn’t guarantee anything. And you pro tankers are too blind to see it lol

Thanks for showing that the higher you are the better the player is.

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

That is a slant i never thought of or heard anyone else put forward.
I think you’re right because this draft “lottery” wasn’t random imo

So all in all it wasn't that big a deal...all it did to me was reinforce that tanking aint **** with the new odds. Im sorry. It just isn't.

Its not "good news" though is my point. 9th is the lower end of how things could have turned out. Not great.djsunyc wrote:canada_dry wrote:Its not "good news" lmaodjsunyc wrote:good news...a lot of comparable players in the 6-12 range. now we leave it up to our scouts and predraft process and take the best upside guy. i trust them.
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

you are right. every single draft, #6 has been better than every pick under it.
the realistic take is that after you get past top 3 or 4, there's alot of similar talents that nobody can predict how they develop at the next level. there's no sugar coating.
there are folks here that would rather have franz over scottie now.

If the argument against tanking is that the nba will just fix the lottery and pick whoever they want then sure you guys can have your victory lap lol

He realizes it was a complete waste of a season and he didn’t even tank properly.
At least his contract is running out.

Explain Sixers then. Only the Jazz were worse in their tanking ways.

Orrrr...the ones telling you for years that tanking isn't nearly as effective with the evened out odds might have been onto something...Syd-TK3 wrote:ill-Will03 wrote:Wait are the pro tankers really trying to spin this in their favor??
