Tank World Order Officially Ends Tonight May 12th 2025

[PhilBlackson]

SMH....anyways welcome home Carter Bryant.

Malauch will be gone before we can draft him.

He'll be there, one of the bigs will be there for us. Only team taking a big ahead of us would be BK

Nope, I think WAS is VERY likely to take one of Queen or Maluach and BKN takes whichever one falls, although I'm praying they take Kon or Jak.

[Garmfay]

Funny, if we only won a couple of those close games we ended up losing (The Wiz Shead game winner) we would be picking 2nd instead of the Spurs...

[PushDaRock]

Sixers tanked properly and are 3rd. All the other teams that tanked properly with worse records than us have higher picks than us (Wizards, Jazz, Hornets, Nets, all have higher picks than us). Spurs tanked properly and got down to 8th best odds (which they had to tank to get down to) to then move up.

lmao are you seriously trying to tell me the Spurs were tanking harder than us?

This was their record to end the season.

lmao what was their record supposed to be? are you seeing who they played?

Or the Spurs still jump because the NBA wants to give wemby help for deep playoff runs

Maybe someday you grow up and realize what it took me a while to figure out too about the WWE.

It was predetermined where we were picking the moment the Luka trade happened.

[B-Ball Freak]

The Raptors could've broken the record for most losses in a season, they weren't getting Flagg and probably weren't getting Harper neither.

You gotta be f***** kidding me lol, it ain't about the odds, ita about the teams.

[720]

The teams that tanked properly aren't in the top 3.

So...

Sixers tanked properly and are 3rd. All the other teams that tanked properly with worse records than us have higher picks than us (Wizards, Jazz, Hornets, Nets, all have higher picks than us). Spurs tanked properly and got down to 8th best odds (which they had to tank to get down to) to then move up.

The Sixers are 3rd because Silver wanted them to be 3rd. This **** is so rigged it's comical.

I still think it's better to be in Utah, Charlotte, Washington's position and be picking 4-6 than picking at 9, but it's not a huge difference. We were probably going off the board with this pick regardless.

And we ended the season with a worse record than the Spurs. So I'm not sure how they tanked properly and we didn't. Again, Silver and the owners decide who picks where. A team's place in the standings is irrelevant.

We were 9-31 at one point this season. We then go on that winning stretch in January and then to end the season and somehow won 30 games. Spurs were going for the playoffs and then decided to tank to the bottom and starting sitting their stars and got to 34 wins. We have a 9-31 head start, we should have been a bottom 5-6 team to end the season. But half assed the tank.

Again, the Spurs finished with a better record than us. We out-tanked them. And yet they still passed us in the lottery.

The three worst teams in the league all got pushed out of the top-3 because Silver wanted the Mavs, Spurs, and Sixers drafting there.

[VanWest82]

It still makes sense to tank in the right circumstance. We actually did that outside of the stretch leading into the deadline, resting starters, resting good players down the stretch, etc. Our team chemistry and winning culture pulled through much to TWO's dismay. Hate on Darko for being a good coach and Masai and Bobby for running a quality organization, I guess.

Are you (Please Use More Appropriate Word) or something? A team just won the lottery with 1.8% odds, who just so happened to have made the most lopsided trade in NBA history a few months ago.

This **** is rigged dude. Get over it.

Thank god for that.

[brownbobcat]

I'm relieved the tank thread is dead for this next year. This is just strange at this point.

Whether you are tWo or not, this is just such a crappy outcome. Brutal. Effin Nico

[maternal85]

1.8% in a shamelessly rigged league gets the number 1 pick. All this tanking all for nothing. TWO disbands tonight and never to return to realgm.

Can't remember the last time I lurked on this forum, but I just came here to say I have never seen a more rigged draft in my life, and tanking now officially means nothing.

The league was already somewhat dead to me after Lowry left the Raptors. I still paid attention to playoffs and finals. I still will probably.

But this was the nail in the coffin. The NBA is the basketball version of WWE. No more no less. And the Raptors will always be a mid carder AT BEST that will NEVER participate in NBA's Wrestlemania let alone main event it.

I'm disgusted tbh.

They use to try to hide it. Now they don't even care. After the league told the Mavs to give the Lakers Luka, Silver had to calm Mav fans anger. But it doesn't matter. Once Flagg develops he'll end up a Laker anyways.

[Tor_Raps]

Imagine being so dumb that you think it's "Tank World Order" calling shots and not Masai. Go direct your comments at him ffs lol.

[TheRaptor!]

Tonight just proves we didn't try to tank hard enough

tf are u talking about?

did you not see this post?

Rough out there for the tanking teams


30th UTA - 5th pick
29th WAS - 6th pick
28th CHA - 4th pick
27th NO - 7th pick
26th PHI - 3rd pick
25th BRK - 8th pick
24th TOR - 9th pick

[Prestige]

It’s not guaranteed they make the playoffs next season.

There could very well be a tWo Part 3: Dip for Dybantsa thread a year from now…

[Scase]

Man, if they can't even make the playoffs in this pathetic conference, just shutter the team and move it lol.

2 Seasons in a row of 20-30 wins, and only a single 9th pick to show for it lmao. The level of incompetence this FO has shown since 2019 is unreal.

This has nothing to do with Nico. His bosses told him to trade Luka to the Lakers because they determined that was the best way to improve league-wide TV ratings. He would be compensated for the trade later.

Man don't you ever get exhausted of spouting the same bull all the time?

go look at our roster to begin 2 season ago and compare it to now and tell me there is only a "single 9th to show for it"
