The Official 2025 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Damnshow]

It's sad because small market teams are fukked one way or another.

You rebuild and you don't get any luck cause of rigged bullshyt like this and then no legit free agent wants to go there anyway. So the chances of actually winning are slim.

It now makes you question the integrity of entire league. If shyt like that is happening then what else is happening behind the scenes.

 

[Rigby.]

That's why I would offer the 2 and 14 picks to Dallas for the #1

Hell I may even sweeten the pot a bit more...throw in Sochan or something. Flagg, Wemby, Castle, Champagnie, Vessel, and you got some overlapping timeline with Fox and Keldon Johnson. If Flagg can at least play his predicted archetype (he doesn't even necessarily have to be generational at it), that's not much worse than what OKC put together. Just a couple years behind where they are now at developmentally.

Okc warned these teams when they voted against these new rules. They were the only team ti vote against this dumb shyt because it hurts small markets.

San Antonio don't got these problems

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

I'm Dallas born and bred....and this is the most Dallas azz shyt I've ever seen lmao

 

[DoubleJ13]

Someone correct if I'm wrong, but I believe Utah still potentially owes OKC a first round pick next season.

Protected 1-8

Spurs got lucky in 97 when they had one season to tank and they struck gold with Tim.

Without him there wouldn't be no championships. They were excellent at finding talent with low picks like Manu and Tony. But Duncan was the centerpiece.

Good for that man Nico…. And lol at the idiot basketball analyst who bytched cried complained and moaned for years to Silver to “fix” the lottery to now bytch cry complain and moan even more because they don't like the “fix” This is why you don't entertain morons

 

[Brozay]

shytty ass franchises that don't try to win don't "deserve" the #1 pick.

Washington, Charlotte, Chicago, Utah(this year)

Chicago? What are you talking about lmao. Bulls been fighting tooth and nail for play in berths 3 years running now

Go watch hockey crybaby

 

[WesCrook]

I intentionally typed the word "Rigged" in the search bar and filtered it for today....and this thread popped right up the MULTIPLE matches....as expected.

 

[god shamgod]

Pistons had the worst record in the nba 3 years straight & got the 5th pick

the odds are flattened ever since this new format several teams jumped up 7-10 spots. No point of that hinkie philly style tanking anymore

 

[Patrick Kane]

We’re watching a reality TV show

NBA has zero integrity

Bush league status

Such a blatant rigging of the system due to the Luka trade. Lakers get gifted a generational talent to go to a big market and thrive when Bron retires and Silver gifts the Mavs Cooper for their troubles with the Luka trade.

Same shyt NBA did for the Pelicans with Zion after gifting the Lakers Anthony Davis

Today is the day I officially become a casual fan. Done with this league
