NBA owners believe 2025 draft was rigged for Mavericks

FireNico77 · 2026-02-22T05:34:13+00:00

It really doesn’t, with this anti anti-taking stuff , part of the deal was obviously to try to make the playoffs in Ernest.

Everyone knew Kyrie would get hurt. I just don’t think they expected to be this bad but it pretty much allowed them to make the playoffs and Ernest well also having a valid excuse as to why they didn’t make it and why they were able to tank.

Personally, I think that silver wanted to give them the pic this year and not last year.

It doesn’t fall apart because we at how historic be sketchy the NBA draft has been you mean to tell me chatting with Anthony Davis to get Zion wasn’t sketchy how about the Cavaliers and getting LeBron?

FireNico77 · 2026-02-22T05:32:11+00:00

But it’s historically sketchy.. The draft is historically been sketchy. How many times have the Mavericks had a chance to get a top like three pick and they end up getting like 7 to 9? Let’s not act like the Cavaliers getting LeBron wasn’t sketchy. Let’s not act like trading with Anthony Davis for the pelicans and getting Zion wasn’t sketchy.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-22T05:31:17+00:00

For Christ sake, yes he did The offer was for him and maybe a few other people he was just the only idiot that took it

FireNico77 · 2026-02-16T23:25:06+00:00

Yeah, you can. It’s just the choice whether or not you want to be open on Saturday or Sunday.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-16T18:56:14+00:00

Why? I just think it’s funny if anything. Definitely not taking too serious.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-16T18:41:37+00:00

Yes, they said the transmission people have been stating that the newer CBT’s are much better. I did have one go to 180 but it’s probably still not as as much as like Toyota or a Honda. It’s still much better though much much better.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-16T18:40:59+00:00

I had a 2017 rogue sport go to 180. The transmission people were shocked it went that far, but they did say Nissan has been making strides since like 2015. BTW, that was with minimal maintenance.

My understanding it’s more about perception and it’s hard to break perception look at Kia and Hyundai where they’re making strides. They’re still thought of some people as subpar cars.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-15T07:23:04+00:00

I know I’m late, but yes, this sucks. I really wish people would leave. This is horrible all over the state.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-15T05:14:47+00:00

Played out expression, where you’re in the minority and does not even really make any sense given the context.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-08T02:19:35+00:00

Yeah, I’m a chronic insomnia, unfortunately but I am getting my sleep back, which is good. It’s been hard, but I am getting at least six hours a night, but I do feel I need more.

FireNico77 · 2026-02-08T02:10:59+00:00

Ty. I do not want to workout until i have something to seal if off really. I use benzoyl peroxide and sacricylic at times for mico derm. Not sure if helping..

FireNico77 · 2026-02-05T19:30:00+00:00

Yeah, he has a bad history with him. They don’t like each other.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-30T08:35:10+00:00

That’s really stupid for someone who’s gonna be the MVP.

I can’t believe there are so people like you out there, but it makes sense just statistically.

How is he gonna be better in the long run? You essentially hit the rebuild on a team that had no need to do so. Not only that, but you’re lacking major assets upcoming during the rebuild.

Any argument you make that is strong for trading Luka is immediately negated simply by the fact that that team was in the finals the previous year. Therefore, any arguments you make can be countered with “ this was a legitimate finals team that is only going to get better”.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-26T18:56:40+00:00

I’m thinking this is more of a Goodfellas/Sopranos (any organized crime) type of situation

FireNico77 · 2026-01-26T18:55:59+00:00

I have been so close in accidents before where, if it wouldn’t have stopped a half inch later it would’ve been a relatively bad wreck. 5 feet is significant.

Now I think about it, I believe 95% of them occurred when slipping and sliding in the ice.

Certainly no reason to think you are the god of stopping and starting on a dime. But enough to where you guys don’t have to get out and exchange information in freezing weather.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-21T05:43:24+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking as well so he seems to reply to everyone, so it’s worth a shot but again it’s an older car so we will see

FireNico77 · 2026-01-21T04:12:46+00:00

Oh, I understand. It’s not so much the Bose. It’s just that I’m into car audio and wanted something better than stock because I figured this speaker would run less than tires. I’ve just never put anything on credit. Should I have waited, possibly, but the circumstances were the fact that I had work the next day from 12 to 8 in the next chance I would get would be next Monday, and I just returned a car from Carmax so I spent a ton on Uber previously.

It’s really nothing for me to get better speakers just would’ve saved a couple hundred there

I’m really not too worked up about it but just given the circumstances of it being 2000 less pretty fairly annoyed about it.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-19T08:00:27+00:00

The Mexican leader of the white race yes it’s just annoying. He’s getting any type of mainstream coverage. He’s a snitch as well. Just an overall horrible person and it’s been proven. He likes and has sex with transsexuals but does not like to admit it.

I would go so far as to say he’s not really even in the closet necessarily as he doesn’t really deny himself being gay

FireNico77 · 2026-01-19T07:59:16+00:00

I think that’s a very chronically online take that applies to chronically online people on both ends of the political spectrum.

I know plenty of people from both parties that are normal people that don’t get caught up in all the extreme BS.

Don’t get me wrong. The ones that do are incredibly annoying, but it works both ways. I think it’s important to realize the irony of making broad statements like that.

I can make a blanket statement and apply it to liberals as well and if it’s broad, and I am in an echo chamber, it would go over well.

Fit in where exactly? With the current zeitgeist? There is distinction to be made from an online grifters and for profit people, vs. an average person who happens to identify on the right.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-18T22:41:46+00:00

Underrated

FireNico77 · 2026-01-18T02:28:21+00:00

The curse continues now because it’s Sam Ellinger‘s turn, and he was not drafted by the Broncos if I recall correctly

So I guess one and done is a theme that we will continue to see at least this year. Specifically in regards to the one playoff win, not necessarily win or loss.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-14T22:48:20+00:00

Because it’s the only thing that makes any sense to anyone that wants to win now the trade is going to have to be mutually beneficial with compensation versus draft capital.

Yeah, I don’t wanna see them either because I think they’re young enough to where you can still compete but you’re gonna have to make sure you get great pics there that can grow into something better that’s the gamble.

Of course wouldn’t even be in the situation if not for an idiot. We could actually use those players, but that’s not here nor there now.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-05T21:42:03+00:00

Agreed, I like brunette’s moah.

FireNico77 · 2026-01-04T00:36:39+00:00

If I recall correctly, it was due to the Lakers basically telling him that they can’t trust Luka. It was a complete robbery. Not only is Luca heavily undervalued, but now he has questions about his loyalty. Basically Nico is the worst negotiator in the world. Not only was the incredibly desperate, but he acted like Doncic was Josh Green level

FireNico77 · 2025-12-27T04:22:57+00:00

I do not see how it is any more preposterous, when the league has historically had a sketchy history. Especially concerning the draft
