**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[buc em]

Giannis is one of the most likable dudes in the league but his fan votes are inflated because literally the only other front court players in the East to vote for that would make any sense to put on your ballet were Embiid and Kawhi. If he was in the West I can promise you he wouldn’t have gotten more votes than Bron, Steph or maybe even KD.

A day later and I still can’t believe the Lakers got the 4 pick

 

[amitt5504]

Hey I'm a fan too. Lakers would've never got a top 4 pick and potentially AD if not for his gross incompetence. The process worked

Yall got 3 #2 picks in a row and screwed all 3 of em. Gross incompetence at its finest

He had 500,000 more votes than Steph curry

At least we never screwed up the 1 pick

 

[bostoiah]

I think y’all overthinking wayyyyy too much

NBA ain’t rig this but throw in Memphis to make it not look “too rigged”. Why not rig the 1st pick for the Knicks then? They did have the best odds so it wouldn’t even look suspicious...How does it benefit the NBA by giving it to NOP over New York?

 

[Nike Jordan]

Players make markets, not the other way around.

Yall went from a 2nd round exit team to a 2nd round exit team

 

[HOU$TON]

If Zion is who y’all say he is, he’ll be fine in New Orleans

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Giannis had about about 108K less votes than Lebron when they played in the same conference

For the same reason I just stated. Curry had to compete with Harden, Westbrook and Lillard for guard votes in the West. Giannis was competing with Blake Griffin on the Detroit Pistons and Vucevic on the Orlando Magic.

Plus Giannis will always get the international vote.

My son Zach Lowe sees the vision.
He also stated Griff doesn’t hold grudges

Wait. How is it possible that Giannis could have over twice the amount of votes as Porzingis who was playing in the biggest market in the league?

That cannot be right. No way.

Don’t care

Just let me be butthurt about the Pelicans getting Zion for at least the next week

I have this theory I’m still trying to prove. The most popular players are popular wherever they play. Lebron, Russ, KD, Giannis.

I don’t know

This is true
Some players transcend market

 

[kingfoamnyc]

As a Knicks fan I want zero parts of a AD trade. Let the Lakers gut their roster for him

Lakers could potentially have the best offer by a decent margin. Just a matter of who they want to include & if the Pelicans want to deal with them.

I don’t know

It's 2019..with Social media and the way everything is covered if you can play, people will notice. That whole market thing doesn't really matter anymore in my opinion when it comes to player exposure.

Zion technically can return back to Duke if he wants too

You can hire an agent, enter, and withdraw
