Event 2025 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY, COMBINE, AND DRAFT

You mean like Dallas, who were one win away from being out of the lottery altogether?

 

Reports Luka didn't want to go to the Lakers and might not be happy there.

Will be funny if Luka asks out in the next year how the conspiracy will then be twisted.

 

I really thought this would be our year to beat the odds and land in the top four.

FUCK SA!!!

 

Every finals with the exception of the Pistons has involved a superstar player.

 

You know - same as 97% of the league every season.

 

They got lucky. It's still a game of probabilities. More chances is good. More losses means a higher floor of where we could drop to.

 

Maybe that's also why Dirk won a title in Dallas! Refs must have thrown the game to stop LeBron from winning a title.

The NBA was planning how to get 4 year old Flagg to Dallas one day.

 

Nico Harrison is just looking around the league right now, trying to figure out who the next AD is. A big that will be over the hill in 5 years that he can trade Flagg for.

 

Sure, but small market teams can get superstar players too. We had one for many years and pissed away our opportunities.

 

Chicago just won those 6 titles because the Blazers gifted the Bulls Jordan.

Or was that part of the conspiracy? NBA for the Blazers to take Bowie so big market Chicago with 0 titles could get rings on both hands.

It's all fixed!

 

You going thru some shit?

 

Who says no…?

 

The next contract will be astronomical.

 

Post Jordan most the finals had one of #1 overall pick Duncan, Shaq, LeBron.

Yeah - it's as if having a generational hall of famer makes a team better. Shocking.

Amazing how the NBA got those star players drafted by such huge markets in San Antonio, Orlando, and Cleveland. The NBA has been rigged for decades!

 

Teams like the Lakers can have an advantage. Geography can play a part. People want to live in LA, but it isn't the only thing. Clippers have never won. It is just as much brand too. Why do recruits come to the Ducks over Florida? It isn't gonna be because recruits love the rain over sunshine.

 

The NBA isn’t about big markets, with the exception of the Lakers because they have by far the highest viewership of any team. The NBA is about superstars. They have been this way since MJ. They understand that stars bring eyeballs. Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, etc. the Spurs had Tim Duncan. The Thunder have SGA. The Warriors have Curry. The Nuggets have Jokic. Etc etc etc. bucks have Giannis.

If they can get a superstar to LA then the NBA is thrilled.

 

Predicted Spurs would get the #1 pick. Missed it by THAT much.

 

Nico For GM of the year!

 

Then all we need to do is put ourselves in a position to get one and draft well. Heck, you can even trade for some of them (SGA).

 

So it would be in the best interest of the NBA to put good players around those stars, regardless of what city they’re in? What good is Wemby if his team sucks?
