    It's the Lakers, Celtics, and 76ers remaining. So they run an ad while we wait. The most traditional 3 teams. The fix is in.

    Why do they only draw for the top 3? That makes no sense to me

    Dammit this is best case for LA. They take whichever of Simmons/Ingram is left.

    I'm starting to think the conspiracy theorists and tin-foil hat wearers are the people who don't think the NBA is rigged.

    philly has drafted 4 pf/c types so far, can they go with simmons?

    embiid
    okafor
    noel
    saric

    ingram sure seems like he fits better with those guys, but they still need a pg desperately

    simmons is the much better passer, but he cant shoot 3s at all

    Those are my feelings too. I think they take ingram because they have to. If it was me, id pick simmons if i was starting clean with a team with no players. But it would he crazy if they took simmons to add to the players they have.

    Simmons has PG skills. They can draft him to be Magic Johnson.
