    So it has become apparent that the results today are a conspiracy to cover up a larger conspiracy in an alternate reality where the league actually is scripted and just forces Lakers and Celtics to be the best teams forever.

    What will it take for you people to drop the conspiracy theory bogus? If Stern/Silver rigged the NBA, we would have seen Kobe/LBJ finals years ago. Chris Paul would've went to the Lakers instead of the Clippers.

    I'll leave the possibility that some refs could still be corrupt but there has been no traceable rigging of the NBA either of draft picks or champions.

    utah has some interesting players, and a lot of flexibility right now, picking at #5 they will have either exum or randle on the board

    their top 5 scorers from last year were 23 or younger, and 35 million in cap room

    i keep thinking that the sixers are set up nicely, and then i remember that they traded turner and hawes for 2 2nd round picks

    even with drafting parker, they have parker and umm thats about it

    i still like nerlens but he is gonna have to prove it next year

    forgot about mcw :lol:

    i just thought at the beginning of last year they would be in a much better position, turner and hawes would have been a decent core with noel, mcw, and wiggins/parker

    They are super young with Thadeus Young as the old man at 25. But man if you add Jabari Parker and say Gary Harris to that team they are likely gonna have a bright future.

    If Philly wants Hawes or Turner back, they have plenty of cap space to sign them. I can see maybe Hawes, but would pass on building a young team with Turner.

    does anyone see any of the top 5 teams making moves to become relevant next year?

    i could see utah trading up to nab parker from #5

    i can see cleveland trying to nab love, and entice lebron to come back

    orlando is still aways away

    same with the sixers

    the bucks...no fucking clue, those guys are a train wreck. if sanders regains his brain function they might be much improved though

    fair enough, i guess it will depend on how the next couple months play out, not sure if they are going to tank again next year. they still seem like a 20ish win team again even with whomever they get at #3

    After the Michael Bennett debacle, I could see Cleveland being a lil more prudent this year and elect to not use their pick but move it.
