Hard to imagine this league isn’t rigged.

Start the conspiracy theories about Silver promising the number 1 if Dallas have Luca to LA.

It's obvious at this point.

They may not rig every draft, but they sure hop in when they think it's good for business.

There is also 0% chance they would hand New Orleans another #1 pick. They made sure it wasn’t going to happen.

As a Lakers fan, even I agree.

Also Wemby to the Spurs
Lebron to Cleveland

We showed that we couldn't be trusted with another one.

We gave up CP to get one and we gave up AD to get the other. It's obvious what the league is doing. If zion had lived up to the hype and become the next face of the league, he'd be in LA right now and the Pels would be getting Cooper Flagg as compensation for developing Zion.

Is it really a conspiracy theory when more than 50% of the vested people believe it? Sort of like how most believe that JFK wasn't just a lone gunman operating independently. At some point, it just becomes the most likely outcome.

Give Luka to LAL
Save Lakers
Give no.1 pick to Mavs as comp
Giannis wants out of Milwaukee
Small market teams with no options
Trade Giannas for options
Get Flagg
Dallas who took a lot of public backlash will have a team with AD, Kyrie, and Giannas

Yeah looks pretty fricking rigged

ALL SPORTS LEAGUES ARE RIGGED.....TO MUCH MONEY INVOLVED.
The problem to me is they can't hide it like they used too if I was a betting man which I'm to poor to be one this lottery and the one the spurs won was so obvious who was going to win.Yall really think Dallas wasn't going to get something back for trading Luka away

Lebron to Cleveland


Cleveland has benefited even more than we have from the fixed lottery.

Gets LeBron

LeBron leaves, gets Kyrie

LeBron comes back, gets Andrew Wiggins, whose traded for Kevin Love

One was a promise to Benson for bailing the NBA out and buying the team. The other was likely as reward for promising to send AD to the Lakers and giving Lebron and the LA market what they wanted (sound familiar)?
