The Thunder are as good of a team as anyone. They have one of the top 2 players in the NBA and our very well coached.
I expect Denver to rebound and play much better, but the Thunder are big problem.

If I were a betting man it will be the Thunder vs Pacers in the finals with OKC hoisting the trophy.

The Wolves and Celtics are just way to inconsistent to survive IMO.

The Mavs just happen to win the lottery with less than a 2% chance the year they hand the Lakers Luka for peanuts?

Eh, did anyone predict it beforehand? If so, I’m impressed. Otherwise, whatever. Shit happens.

All these draft conspiracy theories seem to get made after the draft. Then it’s “Oh sure. Not surprised”. But how many more times did the pick not make a juicy conspiracy story and people forget about it?

What was the story behind the Wolves getting the KAT and Edwards picks?

Yeah. I haven't seen an official word on that, but I'm positive that's what happened. Non-contact injury. And his reaction wasn't one of "I'm in physical pain," but more so "My season is over and I got a long road of rehab coming," from what I saw. Shame.

Pretty much everyone...

And its not a new thing.

CLE loses LeBron, gets Kyrie.
NOP loses AD, gets Zion.
MIN loses Love, gets KAT.
DAL loses Luka, gets Flagg.

I thought after the "frozen envelope" lottery the NBA hired some law firm to oversee it due to the lost credibility. Either that was a lie or the law firm has been paid off.
