**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[buc em]

They gave the two rebuilding teams whose stars will be gone this summer the top two picks and the Knicks and Lakers the next two picks to increase their trade packages for the team they gave the #1 pick to.

The **** was still rigged, the NBA just needs to understand that none of us give a single **** about the New Orleans Pelicans. You just sent the most hyped athlete of the last decade to NBA Siberia.

 

[MVP]

They should have just gone all in and given the Knicks and Lakers the top 2 picks. Now the 2 biggest stars in the draft going to Bolivia.

Wasn’t rigged imo. Just a lucky bounce of the ball...

 

[Moheezy]

Imagine the Knicks aiming for KD, Davis and Kyrie, but there's also a chance they might start the season with a backcourt or Dennis Smith Jr and RJ Barrett.

I hate you lmao

lol everything is rigged when things don't go the way you want it to

 

[Moheezy]

Never should’ve left. Players actually liked Vancouver.

It was ownership. Plus they were a bit ahead of their time. Ask Steve Francis.

I'm all for good NBA rigging but this one ain't flyin for me.

Even tho my Wolves dropped (yet again) it was a good night for me, no Knicks or Lakers getting the top pick as well as ESPN losing their minds that their savior Zion is stuck in New Orleans

 

[buc em]

If the Pelicans franchise as a whole just folded nobody, not even NBA players, would give a ****

And that’s where these idiots sent Zion to once again save that franchise. Hopefully they turn them into the Seattle Sonics again in the next few years at least.

 

[alchemist iq]

When zion starts eating local nola food

 

[ny mavurs]

I am in no way comparing college life to NBA life but I feel like Zion would be much happier at Duke next season

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I’m not mad at the odds being changed to prevent tanking. But my one question is, what about the teams that are genuinely bad? Gonna be tough to get a top pick from here on out now

This idiot blew up the spot . God bless him tho

 

[Air Pope]

This idiot blew up the spot . God bless him tho

Facts. He literally should’ve kept his mouth shut and everything would’ve stayed the same. This change was needed though clearly

100%

Living like a king in a nice place in North Carolina where all your games are nationally televised, you’re with several other top prospects and everybody is coming out to see your games >>>> playing ball for the least marketable team in the NBA where the one star on the team is in the middle of forcing his way out and your team name is the ******* Pelicans.

I can’t imagine how much money this dude is losing out on endorsements from going from possibly playing in NYC to New Orleans.

 

[bballkid11]

NBA Dropped the ball big time on this one. Future stars gonna ROT

I am not even saying just send him to NY (would of been great), but ATL, Chicago, any of those squads would of been better than NO.

They are trying to hide it was rigged by throwing memphis in there at #2. haha. We all know they gave the Lakers that #4 pick to go get AD without all the drama surrounding it now that Pels will get 1 and possibly 4 plus players. SMH

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It's kinda funny because AD is the Pelicans logo same way that Jerry west is the NBA logo and Jerry Sloan is the bulls logo

 

[addict4sneakers]

Meh. If you’re box office, you’ll shine wherever. Word to Giannis. Word to OKC. You want to see Zion? Cop league pass. It’s a global world. It’s a digital world. I think y’all gas markets

 

[DLF]

Adam silver def mad right now. NOLA the smallest market with the worst attendance gets the biggest player coming outta college ever. Does not compute

Nike mad too

Imagine Giannis and how much bigger he’d be in NYC

I said the same thing when I saw it. They threw in the other random team nobody cares about that would fold in a few years if they didn’t get them anymore top young talent to not make it look TOO rigged.

 

[amitt5504]

This idiot blew up the spot . God bless him tho

Ehhh the real idiot is Silver who did this to try to stop it. Now more teams will tank

 

[krazy88s]

homeboy is genuinely upset Zion is going New Orleans

take it easy

 

[DLF]

Celtics fan: this draft is horrible

Also Celtics fans: we got the best package. We will give them the 14th pick and a later first rounder too!!

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

More teams will tank? Did you watch any of the reaction afterwards? This is basically the death of tanking. And it's a direct result of hinkie abusing the system
