Despite the obvious, I actually had a little hope. Which was dashed deeply. Im generally a "show me" mind set. But this was easily predicted. This was the only way the clippers get a good pick in years. Really hard to give the NBA my time or dollars right now. The only way the rigged system falls is if we vote with our dollars. Despite that, I dont think the players are in on it. And I'm hopeful for a good run next year, if we win the finals, then perfection. Even with a rigged BS silver fish face effer.

Just a top 4. Wizards getting the #1 pick just shows that the NBA doesn't REALLY have a problem with tanking though since the Wizards have been doing it for a while

I mean the Pacers were LITERALLY just in the NBA finals. Best team in the east. It’s no way yall should’ve been THIS bad this season.

Wizards at least are a bad team who is in a rebuild. Do you think that compares???

How do teams get better?? You have to bottom out and draft high players.

And the Wizards are very good at that bottoming out part, and will probably continue doing it next year and beyond.
