Shoulda done the DOM special.

My plan had us with:

Ware/Hartenstein
Flagg/Fleming
Dybantsa/Jovic
Jaime/Larsson
Luka/Mitchell

Didnt want that though.....wanted to compete.

Send Bam for Reaves and a pick for Dybantsa next year. Let's follow the trend.

Are they actual lotto balls? Do they have our team logo printed on them if so? If so, the amount of ink on our balls would have been different than Dallas, resulting in different weights and imperfections on the thin membrane. It also would have made the 12th position be Dallas rather than Chicago, and the same changes to that ball would have an effect. Depending on whether Chicago or Atlanta got through, similar changes to balls 13 and 14 would occur. If this is your classic ball mechanism like an old school lottery, then all these differences in the balls would put out a different outcome. It is also possible they have balls for all 30 teams and pull them out alphabetically meaning the order of how they loaded them in is different.

This concludes my TED talk. We would not have won the lotto.

The 1985 draft convinced me that the NBA is more like the WWE, not always, but at least when it comes to top prospects. You should look into it. And just to be clear, I'm not usually into conspiracy theories.

Rumor has it that Dybansta is overhyped and there’s actually a different guy in his class that is better than him, any truth to that?

All professional sports are rigged in some way or another but I don’t think the lottery is and I’m not going to tell myself it is just to cope with the fact that we would’ve gotten the first pick and our choice of Flagg/Giannis if we weren’t so damn stubborn.

There’s too much money in sports/vegas/etc for them not to be rigged in some form or fashion.

Zion too risky, KD too old, Giannis won’t want to go there. Morant?

Sounds to me like you just really want to grasp onto the hypothetical grievance and prop it up to get as much mileage as possible from it. Do your thing.

My tiers:

KD
Zion
Morant

KD is an echelon above. I do not like old dudes. Im 45. Im an old dude. I know how despite all the stretching and maintenance that ur body will fail. Its written in stone.

Zion and Morant arent mature mentally. They may be eventually. Will eventually be 40 years of age though?
