I actually like Wemby going to the spurs. It’s good for the nba and sports in general. It’s a large market and an organization that clearly knows how to develop bigs plus he’s not in the East. That said pretty much everyone who acknowledges the fact that the draft lottery is rigged has been calling this for about a year now. Wemby was going to either the spurs or houston

Clearly you don’t learn as you go along.
San Antonio is large city, but not a large market.
Everyone who said its rigged does not validate the outcome. There are flat earthers. Qnon followers, Trumpers, etc. They ignore facts to further their agenda or validate a belief.
Then bend the narrative to say “See, told you”.

Fact is SAS, like others had the same odds.
Remember when David Robinson got hurt and Celtics shamfully tanked for Duncan when Patino was coach and president?
Why did Spurs get? this was before the SAS run of greatness?
I’d think league would have wanted him in bigger market. Shaq to orlando. Hardaway to orlando, etc……
Where is the narrative?
Anthony Bennet to Cleveland with no. 1 pick?
There are plenty of years where the pick fizzled.
YOu get hindisight to connect the dots.

So arguing a draft lottery that is never aired on tv (except in 1985 when the Knicks envelope was clearly folded and tampered with on live tv) and coincidentally has outcomes we can predict based on business every year is tantamount to believing the earth is not spherical but flat with gigantic waterfalls on the edges guarded by the Globalist Coast Guard. Got it.

Your words, not mine.

YOu draw the conclusions and no evidence to back it. Just like the flat earthers.

LeBum on the Knicks would definitely make me not want to watch this team anymore. I absolutely hate his guts and can never root for him!

And this latest bs about him retiring is such crap! It's been known for years this diva wants to play with his son so he's not going to retire until then. This is all about him being selfish and drama hungry trying to steal the thunder from Jokic and Denver sweeping his ass.

I have very mixed feelings about him. If he wanted my advice, it would be continue to play if you still love the game (more than the celebrity) and find a situation where he would be happy with a leading role but maybe not the top spot. Unfortunately, as I type this it points to rejoining Miami or perhaps Cleveland on some reduced contract to make another push for a title

He could also take a year off

And play minor league baseball.

Can he pitch? Yankees could use him in the rotation

I wonder if they would move Siakam to Portland for Simons and #3 and draft him a PG to develop in Scoot, then move OG to the Knicks for his godson RJ. Henderson, Simons, Barrett, Barnes, Poeltl starting 5.

Interesting concept.
The fact they moved from Nurse and Massai did not make any quick deals at deadline makes me think they are thinking its more about what a new coach can do with their core and move from their. siakim for the 3 and Simons is interesting. As for RJ, thats for Ujiri to decide. OG to me is not enough of an upgrade and have to consider OG extension is coming up next year. I know RJ calls Canada home and thats a good marketing thing for both him and the team as well as Nash.
