It’s beyond frustrating that the NBA cannot accept that giving good players to bad teams is healthy for the continued success of the league

Silver wants the NBA to be like the Prem a few huge markets/Clubs where stars filter to and everyone else competing for nothing

Not only this year but every year since they reformed the lottery in 2019.

silver is ruining his single best innovation, the play in game. he has no shame. he is slaughtering his own child for the blood god of gambling apps and bad faith espn talking heads.

They killing basketball 💔💔💔

There are other spots with lottery drafts that aren’t this incompetent

Luka Doncic conveniently gets traded to the Lakers before this is instituted right before they were about to enter purgatory so they steer clear of the new rules.

What a horrible evening for basketball of all levels

I’m only just realizing too this will further kill the trade deadline and probably all trades in general, because there is no benefit to bottoming out.

Great visualization of the nonsense. Teams are already tanking for a 3 or 4% chance at #1. Now you’re giving them an 8% chance and you expect them to act … better?

This is probably it. They want young superstars - the top prospects - immediately dropping onto mid teams so they can start pushing them to the general public ASAP.

If you are in college right now, heed this advice. You have access to so many cool things if you attend a major university, and most doors are never locked.

Sorry the 6ers bench had how many points? Also…are we going to talk about Embiid being as washed as PG or no

Jokic losing a 3 vs. 6 seed first round series against an opponent who’s down their best player and another top five player is something they would’ve put LeBron in a gulag for in the 2010s. Just crazy

This is like 2pac getting shot for white bloggers

Fate of the universe on the line…nothing has ever aged better than this

me and horses have the same number of series wins against teams with over 50 wins by the way

55 and 99 for Barsham and Overton is auraful. 29 for Moore is solid. 57 a toss up. Durant and Downs gotta come to some sort of agreement though
