Actually, what if DAL decides to trade Flagg + salary for Giannis. AD-Giannis-Kyrie Big 3  :o

Absolutely the draft is rigged. At least we know why Luka got sent to LA now. Now it's a fair deal.

But sucks that the league is so desperate to keep a star in LA after LeBron retires that they would cheat teams like the Jazz. I guess business is first and LA is a bigger priority that Utah.

Tbh Flagg doesn't really fit their window if they really wanted to go "all-in" short term with Kyrie-AD. Klay is also on the older side.

Yeah, nothing to see here.


The good news is that Flagg will be signing with Boston at the earliest possible moment.

Wow, how Obvious could it be?
Silver is crooked as Stern was.....No wonder The Lakers got Luka, because he promised Dallas the #1 Pick.

I still can?t believe it..

Imagine Dallas gets Flagg after trading away Luka lol

Anyone but Philly or SAS, which would be downright awful for the league.


Yup. CLE getting the number 1 pick 3 out of 4 years after LeBron left just confirmed it.

To give LeBron the ammo he needed to return to CLE.

He was never going back otherwise.

Also worry about that medical staff. One of post-Luka articles on the Mavs talked about how Nico filled the medical staff with yes men, and all the highly respected members left. That might turn your boy into the next Oden or Brandon Roy. Just look at how legitimately injured the Mavs roster was this year.



After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Rigged.

That was the payoff for Dallas sending Luka to LA for that crappy trade package in order to pump up TV ratings.

Massive steal for San Antonio too.

That Dylan Harper guy looks a major talent. They now got him as the #2 to Wemby along with Stephon Castle. The backcourt of the future. The new version of Duncan, Ginobili, and Tony Parker.

San Antonio should look into trading D Fox for a forward.

Spurs have Wemby, Castle, Fox, and now will get the #2 pick and still have all their own future firsts mixed with a bunch of swaps and other picks.

If they wanted to I think they could trade for Giannis without including the #2 pick this year.

San Antonio and OKC are going to be beasts in the West for years to come.

Interesting rotation from GSW so far tonight.

A tight 8 game rotation. 3 guards - Podz, Buddy, GP2. 3 forwards - Jimmy, Draymond, Kuminga. 2 centers - TJD, Looney.

No Moody. No Q Post. No Gui Santos. No P Spencer.

Draymond looks sharp tonight.

Reminds me of the Finals vs the Celtics when he was pushing the ball hard every time and trying to rev up his teammates. He has that type of energy tonight.
