2019 Draft Combine

The league isn't stupid. Here's how it will play out:

** Davis will say he wants to be traded and will only re-sign with LAL or NYK.
** Lakers and Knicks will offer the Pels young talent plus a high lotto pick they just scored.
** Davis will likely get traded to LAL to play with Lebron and make the Lakers relevant again.
** KD and Kyrie will sign with NY in free agency and make the Knicks relevant again.
** NOLA, who was going to lose Davis anyway and was a lame duck franchise last year, will rebuild quickly with Zion, young talent (e.g., Kuzma, Ingram), and a second high lottery pick (probably #4).

League wins.

Hard to argue with this. I don't think anything was rigged, but man, it really worked out for the league didn't it?

If I were a multi-billion-dollar business like this, I sure wouldn't leave something this important to chance. I'd give myself plausible deniability though.

If this was rigged though, NY or LA would have gotten Zion. The money involved with that move would be unreal.

That lottery was so exciting. That collective mumble when it was apparent LAL jumped into the top 4. 3 of the top 4 picks in the Western Conference... RIP Phoenix. Going from hoping for Zion to the 6th pick lolol

NOP has to be right up there with OKC as the luckiest franchise. Draft CP3, lose CP3, owned by NBA and get #1 pick with a generational talent in AD. Lose AD, get generational prospect in Zion. And OKC inherited KD, Westbrook, and Harden. Imagine if they inherited a ****** team with those ****** jerseys and with people pissed they stole the franchise from Seattle...OKC wouldn't even exist anymore lol

The Cavs have been the luckiest franchise.

LA will get Davis in a trade. NY will get KD and Kyrie in free agency. Both teams now improve dramatically. New Orleans rebuilds with Zion and other young talent.

The league needs LA to not be a dumpster fire.

NY’s package for AD might be better than LA’s.

NY can throw #3, unprotected Dallas pick in 2021 (the first HS draft maybe) , their own picks, and Knox/Smith/Ntlikina/Robinson

LA can do Ingram/Kuzma/Hart/Ball plus #4 and their own picks.

It’s close.
