Do a more simple assessment used daily in business world: Risk assessment. If I succceed, I can theoretically gain lorn term benefit through a very complex earning model. If I fail, I lose all credibility, league loses billions of revenue, I personally get fired and eternally haunted by media...

You are trying strawman stuff with 1 game samples. Im not gonna tell you why the coach chose A or B in a single moment, but he isnt wrong in the big picture. Svi plays with higher energy, shoots better and executes Hardys preferred style of play better than Brice. Why dont you quote their...

Brice plays the wrong way. He cheats on defense, doesnt close out well, does absolute doghouse worthy things like helps on the strong side off of great shooters. Also he has shot worse this year than laat year and isnt a guy who plays with high energy. Is there any reason why Brice should play...

So they rig them to random ends then? Like every year they convene somewhere wearing hooded robes and decide the fate of the draft in a secret freemason society kind of way? No, its just strawman evidence to your confirmation bias because it fits your narrative. If they were to rig drafts, they...

So the rigging conspiracy is NOT about NBA favoring certain teams... but its about giving draftees what they want?

Yeah not to mention the fact that the dude often runs around the court like a rabid race horse, which is the exact opposite to Brice who cheats on defense by living in no-mans-land and generally floats around on offense and spectates instead of sharply and constantly relocating to open spots...

What? You think the fact that they only post video of the drawing means the 40 people in the room are all in on the conspiracy and they reshot the video multiple times or something? The camera man also paid millions to not blow the whistle? Or is this cosa nostra type of thing where they...

No I simply trust more authorities than just my own conspiracy filled thoughts. Even with the most interesting player in the NBA (Wemby) added to the mix and their recent resurgence... these are the latest 2025 rankings for franchize values: Forbes has Spurs at 19, Jazz at 24 CNBC has Spurs...

Fan does not equal spectator. Anone who gets the title "fan", must be that much aware of the teams affairs. There are a lot of spectators in NBA games (in arena and on TV) who arent fans, but those guys arent really part of the debate either. Hardcore fans are a minority for sure... but this...

I didnt really respond to the Brice part, but you are just proving what I said there. Brice was hot in few games and got good burn, but then he played like trash and got his minutes cut down. In the Phoenix game you referenced Brice got subbed in midway through first quarter as he did in games...

Lmao. Using efficiency as an argument against him? REALLY? Svi is playing a low usage spacing role with a TS of 61.1 despite a very difficult shot diet. He has the best FG% and 3P% of all the starters despite being mostly an off ball spacer and outlet who gets all kinds of trash grenades...

He isnt supposed to be a guy who can lead a team in playoffs at age 22. There are very few prospects that come to the league so mature/skilled that they would be even remotely capable of doing that. So please give the guy some benefit of doubt, since he has given us clear evidence of mental growth.

Saying those who wish for Ws not thinking past single games is just the most arrogant BS ever. There are people who are super super casual and/or dumb enough to not realize there is a draft and that we may forfeit our pick.... but that is a small minority of people. Most fans ARE passionate and...

I wouldnt use such a small sample for confirmation bias when the big sample is still positive. I think what this game did was provide a small bit of evidence as to why you dont want to play trash basketball if you wanna develop your best prospects the correct way. As professional as Key has...

I agree on a principal level, but the list of such franchizes is rather short. For me its Lakers, Celtics, Knicks and Heat. I trust how those franchizes are ran, and their "market appeal" combined with the quality of operations is a combination you cannot beat in this regard. GSW should be on...

Give me a break. His system is 100% obvious and he even tells it to media. Play well and do the right things, and you get minutes. Its not rocket science. He even micromanages the youth minutes within games based on how the kids play. He gave WCJ 29 minutes and TH 24 minutes last game, when...

Yeah if they rig all the drafts, then why give Minny two #1 picks in just few years? If you rig just selected ones like the Wemby draft, then why the hell would they be so dumb to send him to SA instead of Rockets or Mavs who were BOTH in that lottery.

The Spurs part is something that makes absolutely no sense in these conspiracy things. The NBA wanting to set up the 3rd biggest franchize in a state where 80% of the population is white/hispanic is hilarious. And also San Antonio is a bottom 10 market by all metrics, whether its merch sales...

The whole lottery rigging concept is fun and all, but its not real. Enst & Young is a 50 Billion dollar law firm, which would either look incompetent or fraudlent if the lottery turned out to be rigged, two things they cant afford to look. There is 0% chance that Silver can outsmart them or pay...

Wasnt able to watch the game so I cant really comment on it. I mean I was literally sitting there with the game running in front of me, just wasnt able to actually watch it after about 5 minutes of action that included Nurkic being the featured guy with 50% usage.
