I would trade barnes and quickley for giannis or 2nd pick overall and 14th pick and keldon johnson and vassell for barnes s ,quickley , agbaji ? Lol
shits rigged as fuck
Much like the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery, the NBA Draft Lottery should have the ping pong balls drawn live on broadcast rather than behind the scenes.
Still rigg, LeBron left they got first pick same thing with AD,CP3,Luka. And home grown talents like Drose.
cough bullshit cough cough
We are good ben we are at 9 and there is 10 solid set picks and only 1 we dont want in knuppel as long as he goes before us we are good. Kasparis is ranked higher than fears we could have a choice between fears and maluach still. Or kasparis and queen. We are getting one of the center pg in that range that fits us good no matter what even if knuppel is still on the board.
Flag
Harper
Bailey
Edgecomb
Johnson
Knuppel
Kasparis
Queen
Maluach
Fears
Go for Giannis.. The east is super weak with Tatum down.
Prayers to Tatum and his family though 🙏🏿
We should try to trade Ingram and picks to the spurs for harper. We need a number 1 option, and at pg is perfect alongside Scottie. And iq realistically can’t be our pg on a title contending team
And remember if giannis wants to go to the warriors/kicks/lakers and doesn’t want to go to the spurs, they probably won’t trade him there.
Bunch teams needed one number we weren’t any closer than bunch other teams shit happens
Listen, trying to find out why we didn’t get the #1 is gonna drive you crazy. We didn’t get Cooper Flagg and it is what it is, time to move on. This is why just throwing away seasons isn’t always the best ideas. Hornets, Wizards and Brooklyn didn’t even get him, nothing is guaranteed. Time to focus on building the team.
This happened with last years draft too. Hurts but cant dwell on it. You either get him or you dont and we didnt. We’ll be ok
The copium is off the charts. The #9 pick is trash and the NBA is rigged af. Adam Silver needs to resign ASAP.
They can say what they want lol its rigged
The most blatantly rigged job in the history of the NBA draft….Even more so than the Lebron year and Zion……
Raptors(Canada’s team) already won a championship. NBA dont want another ring for raps because Raptors are not popular in the States. 2019 ring already did its job to expand the fanbase for Canada. Did kawhi actually want to leave after winning a ring? Luka trade to LAL and the Mavs #1? I dont know man. It just very convenient for the mavs after pulling the most stupid trade ever. Lol
NBA Lotto is RIGGED – so corrupt NBA Vegas and point spread – such a joke ,,,
Tell the truth or I UNSUBSCRIBE
Barnes for anything… his value to the raps is massively inflated.
They were never that close, it's rigged, the league wanted wemby and the Mavs to improve
If Raptors wanted Cooper Flagg then they should’ve competed. You know, what Adam silver has been advocating for like 3yrs now.
We’re getting a decent back up center this year… np at all
It's rigged. Lets all stop playing pretend and call a spade a spade. This isnt the only time we've had fishy lottery shanigans happening in the NBA and mind you, we don't hear this happening in any other league, just the NBA.
Raptors will be mid for years, they got their chip not too long ago already and the fanbase grew from that. The franchise is low priority for the NBA, so enjoy watching treadmill basketball year in and year out hoping something will change 😅 I understand the business and entertainment aspect, because that’s all it is and ever will be.
We were almost there! Just a few numbers off for number 1 or number 2 picks 😢. We will make this number 9 pick count tho.
The Raps, the Jazz and the Wiz all fell in the draft – these are the 3 teams that didn't tank with integrity. This means, when you are handed a circumstance you go with it – if "it" hands you the injury bug then tanking is seen as credible but when your team is sitting players when healthy, pulling players when winning, and having players be on mysterious long term injuries that have never ever before on anyone in any sport justifies that length (Ingram) – these teams were punished. It would be interesting to go back and see if this has been a recent trend because until the Raps played dirty and ripped the integrity out of the game, I never paid attention to it!
The NBA find the craziest way for teams to stop tanking😂
That’s what Toronto gets for playing games and not competing. Dal and SA deserved to get rewarded. They were actually trying to win and not waste player’s like Scottie and RJ’s careers.
Tanking is for losers.
Flagg is a bust!!!!!!!!
Copper flagg copper flagg.. bla bla bla.. we need a center.. even if we got flagg we would still need a center. Its not the end of the world
😂😂😂 im still in shock lmaooo 9th pick smfh
