    If the Mavs get the number one pick I’m gonna know the entire thing was fixed ahead of time and this is all bullshit.

    It'll be New Orleans, the NBA is desperate for that city to have a strong NBA team.

    Yeah, I wasn't actually joking when I referred to AD as Mr. Glass.

    Cuban tried to block the Luka trade when he first heard about it at the 11th hour but Nico already had a "verbal handshake"

    Every other post you make invokes sinister forces at work. You're not a fan of Q-Anon by any chance?

    Why would that be the case? Small market, not a rich city, the team will ALWAYS be an afterthought to the NFL team that plays across the plaza, etc.

    They've had the All Star Game there 3 times...08, 14 and 17. They saved the team from moving at least once.

    Lakers have a lot of talent in their 7 man rotation - if they can get a couple decent minimum salary centers they could be very hard to beat in the playoffs

    Doncic
    Reaves - Knecht
    Hacimura
    LBJ - DFS
    Hayes

    Might need a backup defensive PG as well. Actually defense everywhere is going to be an issue for them. But their offense could be deadly.

    The west is going to be brutal the next decade. OKC has enough to picks to add 2-3 allstars if there is ever a season they want to.
