Game Thread NBA Draft Lottery - May 12, 2025

Exactly. The most probable thing happened. Shocking.

Except it didn't. The Jazz had a 52.1% chance of getting a top four pick.

Spurs dont need Harper. They have Castle and Fox.

Harper should be look for home in Milwaukee at this point.

Which is more blatantly phoney, the WWE of NBA lottery?

Exactly. The most probable thing happened. Shocking.

Oh shut up.

The Mavs and their 1.8% chance was not the most probable thing to happen.

I still dont believe in conspiracies. The lottery system is just stupid.

I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry

It's always about the money. They had to support Wemby, so SA in the top 3 was a lock. Philly with Embiid needing a partner was another lock, big name in a big market. And Dallas obviously had favors promised for the inexplicable trade that sent YET ANOTHER ****ing generational talent to the Lakers for LeBron to have another shot at a ring before he retires. Go back to page 1 and read my post. That's the logic and it fits perfectly. Maximizes the money for the league. Undoubtedly Ryan gets some kind of "cash considerations" as the owner taking it up the *** for all this ********. But it's a business first and foremost. The percentages and pomp and circumstance is for the fans, the owners already know what's up. As long as the money lines up nothing will change.

I'm already looking at next year's draft: Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer, Cenac.

Why? It is going to whatever team has the biggest drop in a fan base.

My suggestion... we all stop watching games.

I love the thought, but we arent getting any of them either my man.

That’s four players.

Best we can do is 5th pick

True, they’ll probably just target someone who’s projected to be drafted around 25.

This

Then add Lopez.

 

[rippimpc]

Is it worth moving up from 5 to 3?

 

[Sean]

and of course we didn't. the league is rigged vs. the Jazz....

The Jazz are rigged vs the Jazz.

 

[Basketball Novice]

Usually I am not one for conspiracy theories but if there was a result to make me whole heart consider it, this would be the result. I swear the Spurs have moved up the last 3 years? I will have to look up the odds. And the Mavs thing is just crazy.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

who?

I think next year's draft is better in the top 5 than this year's draft.

You’ve also said that Epstein died by his own hand. There’s definitely a stigma associated with believing in a conspiracy and being associated with “teh stoopids” so much so that people gravitate to a form of hyperrationality.

 

[jazznik]

One think that the fans of other teams are happy about is "hard to not just point and laugh at Utah lol".

Nobody likes shameless tankers.

 

[framer]

We are still getting VJ at 5. Hornets don't really need him.
