this is why it's so glaringly obvious the league is rigged. You have a CLE team with zero logical incentive trading a 1st and accepting the awful Prince contract for what? The RFA rights to Allen? Super teams can't be formed without league intervention like this. The small market teams seemingly forced to be farm systems for a handful of organizations and to facilitate trades like this.
This is the best HOU could get? Several picks in the 20s, LeVert, Kurucs? How are people okay with this? Players exerting this type of power is disgusting. This is a full opposite swing on the pendulum from how teams used to control players for their whole careers. They seriously need to fix this. If we don't get to the Finals because yet another super team is formed I don't think I can keep bothering to pay attention.
