Yep but it may catch up with them. If the fans notice that the product is openly corrupt, they’re going to stop paying for it.

- Cleveland Cavaliers won the lottery immediately after LeBron left.

- The Hornets won the lottery immediately after they traded Chris Paul.

- The Pelicans (Formerly Hornets) won the lottery again immediately after they traded Anthony Davis.


Can anyone crunch the numbers about how likely that is?

There is a mistake in the headline. It’s the Las Vegas Mavericks, not Dallas.

Don’t forget the NY Knick’s getting the Patrick Ewing pick in the first draft lottery.

In the grand scheme of life, this news is as important as a fart while you are sitting down. Everyone in this “sphere of importance” is laughing to the bank—laughing at everyone who wastes their time with this.

The NBA ping pong ball selection used to be private. Then Adam Silver allowed media and each team representative to witness it. It has never been public viewing.

So when does Nico Harris trade Flagg to the Lakers for Austin Reaves and a couple of second rounders?

I’d believe it was rigged if the Lakers or Knicks won the top draft pick. Dallas? Meh.

I believe Ewing is one of the most overrated players of all time. I would have taken Chris Mullin or Karl Malone over him. Probably Dumars and Sabonis too.
