2025 NBA Draft Talk

[dtgold88]

It’s funny that you of all people are pushing back on this stuff. I’m demanding transparency for an organization that got caught rigging games. I’m saying they can’t be trusted. That’s me. That’s my stance. You have a similar standard but for you it’s abandoning women who have been sexually assaulted because of the lack of evidence available in a He Said She Said. You don’t trust sexual assault victims and I don’t trust the league that brought us Tim Donaghy.

whoa, that is some serious goal post moving and lying.

Let's stay on topic which is you making up a conspiracy. Just asking you to be more creative since writing the script yourself.

No it doesn’t. It neither proves nor disproves the claim. All it does is establish that the NBA doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt you grant them.

It proves why rigging the lottery would be a very stupid thing to do.

I don’t have an agenda. The Sixers moved up in their draft position last night

Bullshit. You've been crying ever since the Sixers got slapped for "The Process".

This is just further evidence of disparate treatment.

See, told ya you have an agenda.

You’re not doing well here. Maybe take a break.

lol. Says the guy who's been crying for years and claiming the league is corrupt because his team was stupid.

You should probably take a break and re-read some of your own posts.

 

[trojanfan12]

Back up as no....he believes it's one person who decides for everyone and tells no one other than his trusty substance specialist.

Well gee, it sounds crazy when you put it like that. lol

 

[fightinfunbags]

You understand that a few referees trying to affect the outcome of games for their own enrichment through gambling does not equal a league wide conspiracy to rig the draft...right?

The fact that Scott Foster is still reffing games says otherwise.

 

[Shanemansj13]

There’s no evidence of that. There is evidence of NBA officials rigging games.

Wrong. Funny thing is the refs were not punished. The NBA fired the referee and he served time.

whoa there......do not ask him to take a break as this is free comedy. I would take one for the team here and take a ban before he leaves this thread if need be.

Also still hoping he will take my advice and be more creative with his made up script.

Tony Brothers is far worse

 

[fightinfunbags]

Pete Rose says hi!

No evidence that Rose rigged any outcomes. That’s been speculated but there was never any evidence that was presented. It’s still unclear if Rose bet against his team .

Your argument is specious to say the least. That some refs were corrupt does not make the NBA corrupt. IF the NBA was involved in some way then maybe you would have a point.

Why is Scott Foster still reffing games?

Well, we wouldn't want to miss out on more creativity.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I’m not lying. Your posting history is well established. You disbelieve victims of sexual assault. This plays out numerous times on this board. You lean upon a lack of substantive proof. Are you trying to claim now that you don’t do that?

Let's stay on topic which is you making up a conspiracy. Just asking you to be more creative since writing the script yourself.

We are on topic. I said your stance is ironic given your demand for sexual assault victims to come correct with tangible evidence. I’m saying that the NBA should be transparent with their process.

 

[dtgold88]

Well, we wouldn't want to miss out on more creativity.

correct....I think he quickly threw together the 1 guy in charge of entire conspiracy with the trusted substance specialist without taking time to come up with better ideas.

Given a little more time - or maybe others to collaborate with him - maybe we can get a Netflix level story.

 

[fightinfunbags]

It proves why rigging the lottery would be a very stupid thing to do.

That’s your opinion. Opinions don’t serve as substantive proof. Ever.

Bullshit. You've been crying ever since the Sixers got slapped for "The Process".

Sure. Does that mean I can’t make the argument I’m making?

See, told ya you have an agenda.

You struggle with a command of evidence. I can help you with that but it will likely take 6 sessions. I can charge you the pre-June 30th rate change of $120 for an hour long session.

lol. Says the guy who's been crying for years and claiming the league is corrupt because his team was stupid.

I’m claiming the league is corrupt because it’s been proven that the league is corrupt.

You should probably take a break and re-read some of your own posts.

That sounds like vanity to me.

It’s very easy to rig one of those things with foreign substances on the desired ping pong balls. You don’t need some grand conspiracy that goes layers and layers deep. You need a desire from the top of the league and then a hush payment for a single person who is drawing the balls and could feel a foreign substance on the ping pong balls.

I’m not saying definitively that this stuff is rigged. I’m saying that the NBA is FIFA level crooked and shouldn’t be trusted and shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt.

Have you seen Zach Lowe's stuff on the process? Team reps in the room get to inspect everything before the drawing takes place. The balls are sealed in the briefcase after the inspection

 

[fightinfunbags]

Wrong. Funny thing is the refs were not punished. The NBA fired the referee and he served time.

So you think human error is now evidence that outcomes are rigged? This isn’t tantamount to Donaghy. Are you accusing that man depicted above on the sidelines of gambling on the results of that game?

No, I disbelieve those who we know lied in the case to which you are referring, Tommy. again...goal posts heavier than they look so if moving them get help. Better would be stop moving them (and lying) and stay on topic.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Tony Brothers is far worse

But there’s no link to Donaghy reffing games and colluding with Foster in the case of Brothers.

I have not seen that. Thank you.

also no evidence of a lone guy at top of NBA food chain conspiring to unilaterally fix the draft with the help of his trusty substance/lottery ball expert.

I’m not lying. You regularly shame victims and explain away the transgressions of some pretty shitty people in the name of sports.
