And of course San Antonio and Philadephia get 2 and 3 hahaha, whilst Charlotte, Washington and Utah are left in the cold lol.

oh, social media tells me the Davis trade to the Lakers resulted in the Pels getting Zion.
maybe it's not a conspiracy theory after all
-

Mavs had a 1.8% chance of getting the first pick.
NBA aren't even subtle about it
Yep, well done Nico.

IMHO Dallas ownership don't deserve that kind of luck. It's not like they got scammed, they ran they superstar out of town and badmouthed him as he left. They should be cursed
It was rigged lol let's not play dumb here.

Maybe in the old days. Not so sure now. There's too much at stake, don't they get one of the major auditing firms to oversee the lottery? A quick Google check says Ernst and Young oversee it
-
Enron had a major auditing firm as well. What ever happened to them?

@African-Monkey said in NBA Season - now 24/25:
Well it looks like the Mavs got their compensation from the NBA for giving Luka up by getting the number 1 pick.
Nothing dodgy about it lol.......
Don't worry, that fluffybunny in charge will likely fuck it up anyway
-
he's currently trading the first pick to Boston for what's left of Tatum's achilles and a bowl of clam chowder

If they want to be transparent they would show the actual draft lottery - not just release the results
2008: Derrick Rose going to his home town Chicago when the Bulls had a 1.7% chance
2011: The Cavaliers getting the #1 pick after LeBron James left the summer prior
2012: The Pelicans getting the #1 pick after Chris Paul leaves
2019: The Pelicans getting the #1 pick after Anthony Davis demands a trade
2025: The Dallas Mavericks getting the #1 pick after trading Luka Doncic at the trade deadline with a 1.8% chance
It's rigged as all hell

I would be all for televising the lottery. Just like a lotto show, it would make great telly as the respective teams find out their fate in real time

He did take an age to start using his bench, they are similar to the Nuggets I think in getting all their points from their starters.
But, yeah, seems rough to not go again next year with some upgrades.
There is some negative talk about KAT around as well.
That game 6 was there for them and they just couldn’t walk through the door, maybe that’s the root of it.

There’s no edge / killer instinct in this version of the Knicks, just a bunch of really nice pieces.
I look at the Pacers and two guys - Mathurin and Helly have that bit of crazy in them when they play. When there’s very little between the teams when it comes to talent, you need something a little extra and I think the Pacers have it.
OKC have this ruthlessness that many don’t see because they see the post game team interviews, the “togetherness” but they are so locked in that teams up by 10 all of sudden find themselves down by 6 in a matter of minutes. SGAs mid range game is such a weapon that every defence in the league has suffered at the hands of it.

KAT has skills, but the guy plays small. He has little rim protection presence
