    League needs to hire better script writers. A lot of people called this "twist" back in February.

    The idiocy in here is crazy right now. Why the fuck does the NBA want Cooper in Dallas? What was achieved by this so called rigged process?

    Everyone of you that are calling this rigged make no goddamn sense.

    I called 11, so no big surprise. I’m assuming now we’ll move the pick

    In 2022, Ernst & Young faced a $100 million fine from the SEC due to a scandal involving auditors cheating on exams required for their CPA licenses. The cheating involved ethics exams and continued professional education courses. Additionally, the SEC found that EY failed to adequately address the misconduct and withheld evidence during its investigation.

    Hopefully we can move Grant with it. We don’t need anymore projects that are 3 years out.

    It wasn't so crazy because there was over an 18% chance that we landed there... it was the second most likely spot but this shit isn't scripted so 18 out of 100 being the right prediction by so many is pretty interesting.

    Obviously it makes a lot of sense if you connect the dots back with the Luka trade, as a quid pro quo thing with the NBA.

    You can disagree with the conspiracies all you want but don't deny that there's at least a logic behind the theories.

    I obviously wish we would have gotten the #1 pick.
    But I love this since that didn’t happen. Fuck all the moron Mav’s fans that cried about fat ass Luka being traded. Now they can eat crow.
    I’m glad he’s not stuck going to Charlotte or Washington. and glad the Spurs didn’t get him
