2025 Draft Thread - Part 2

[thebigE]

I’m officially out on the NBA and the Wizards. No more time, no more anything. Next years lottery which is better is the last time I’ll consider coming back. You simply can’t ———— over fan bases for half a century like this and reward franchises like the spurs decade after decade after decade w/once a decade caliber prospects. The flattening of the odds wasn’t an anti-tanking measure, it was a pro flagship franchises and big markets measure to reward them during a season of injury related dips. ———— this league.

Hear ye Hear ye

Sure seems like it. Have been out on the NBA for about a year now, tuned into the lottery out of a small hope of coming back.

Completely done now. Awful franchise, awful league.

What was that thing we used to say again?

Oh yeah. #SoWizards

When will the misery end.

The fact that Dallas gets Flagg and SAS gets Harper to go with Wemby is just the twist of the knife

West coast talent imbalance isn’t changing anytime soon

I’ve secretly been preparing this board for this outcome with my DDQ spam

[Godymas]

this draft lottery literally might have made me lose my fandom.

what is the point of having a god awful franchise suck for years and win below 20 games just to be at #6

[Despy]

Well at least the Luka trade finally makes sense

Dylan Harper to San Antonio is unfair to the rest of the league.

Where is PIF's droning refrain about finding talent throughout the draft now that we need him?

[prime1time]

Either Maluach or Queen. Once it's not top 2, you really just flip a coin. I get the people complaining but everyone knew this was a possibility.

I think it was Tom Clancy who said the difference between fiction and real life is that fiction has to make sense.

Look at the "bright " side.

Had we gotten one or two, there'd have been nothing to talk about between now and the draft.

As is, we'll be discussing tonight's nightmare for years.

[nate33]

If nothing else, this proves one thing: tanking no longer really works with the current lottery setup.

I think it’s best for both of our fanbases’ mental health to just quit the league and stop being emotionally abused

[amcoolio]

Just **** brutal. I’m sorry guys

[80sballboy]

A fan for 50 years. How could I even dream that we'd get No.1 or 2? I thought it would be 4-6. We'll get a good player and I believe in this FO, but to get to the next level, we need some GD luck.

Exactly my feeling…6’5” T-Rex arms Knuppel here we come

Awkward for De’Aaron Fox

Feel bad for you guys too. NBA doesn't give a rat's behind about small markets like us, Charlotte, and Utah. We're the feeder system for the rest of the league.

1000% rigged. Absolutely insane result this lottery. I figured the Mavs would be rewarded for stupidly trading Luka. But the Spurs and 76ers... I mean they don't even hide it whatsoever.
