2025 NBA Draft Talk

[The Q]

The Lakers bent Nico up once. He will grow a set or say take it or leave it and find a better offer

I’d rather have the first at this point

He also isn’t part of nico’s defense wins championships vision

Probability theory is simple, the pelicans had a 6 percent chance at the 1 and the Mavs had a 1.8 percent chance. So .(06 x .018) x 100 equals a 0.11 percent chance.

I understand that the math is correct, just saying any combination of results with how the lottery is, is a low probability.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

But I do think this one was finessed

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Well, there’s a dumb fucking take

But 0.1 percent?

Luka would have been at home, eating donuts in April if he hadn't been traded...

And here’s another one

He would fit just fine. The Mavs aren't giving those guys away. They can easily keep them all

It seems wasteful

I know they won’t but I’d be selling kyrie and brow

But that’s fine

Got me to thinking. So there are 3 teams with a 14 percent chance. So the odds of one of those teams winning it in 2 different years is (.014 x3 x .014 x3) x 100 equals 8.4 percent. So what happened is about 80 times less likely than one of the 14 percent teams winning it in any 2 years. Stats are fun.

Until they televise the lottery in real time, there will always be suspicion about the NBA rigging the lottery.

They can't
Did you see the Lakers in Dallas? The crowd cheered for Luka the entire game and ripped Nico. Nico's whole reasoning behind trading a top 5 player that's 25 years old was "defense wins championships". They can't turn around and trade AD or Irving and rebuild behind a rookie. Zero chance. I could see them trading Flagg and Gafford plus for Giannis. That would make them legit contenders

Nico is in love with AD. Kyrie is expendable

Correction…

As long as they have the lottery people will suspect.

Doesn’t matter if it is televised or not.

Do away with it already.

They have it so teams don’t just tank to automatically get the #1 pick.

I could live with saying bye bye to Kyrie for a decent return. If they included one of their centers they could set up a blockbuster

Especially when your team isn’t doing it on purpose

I’m just saying it’s what I’d do
