There was nothing to orchestrate. Nobody really gives a fuck about anyone in that draft really except perhaps Castle. Look at these stiffs

1. Hawks draft Zaccharie Risacher (JL Bourg-en-Bresse)
2. Wizards draft Alex Sarr (Perth)
3. Rockets draft Reed Sheppard (Kentucky)
4. Spurs draft Stephon Castle (Connecticut)
5. Pistons draft Ron Holland II (G League Ignite)
6. Hornets draft Tidjane Salaun (Cholet Basket)
7. Trail Blazers draft Donovan Clingan (Connecticut)
8. Spurs draft Rob Dillingham (Kentucky) — Traded to Timberwolves
9. Grizzlies draft Zach Edey (Purdue)
10. Jazz draft Cody Williams (Colorado)

Trivia for the day.

--------------

The most recent instance of both an NBA and a WNBA team from the same city holding the No. 1 overall picks in their respective drafts occurred in 2025. In that year, the Dallas Mavericks secured the top pick in the NBA Draft and are expected to select Duke standout Cooper Flagg. Simultaneously, the Dallas Wings won the WNBA Draft Lottery and selected UConn star Paige Bueckers with the first overall pick. 

Prior to this, the only other occurrence was in 2003 when the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Rockers both held the No. 1 picks. The Cavaliers famously selected LeBron James, while the Rockers chose LaToya Thomas. Unfortunately, the Rockers folded after that season.

Thus, Dallas in 2025 became only the second city in history to achieve this rare dual No. 1 draft pick milestone.

SGA was drafted by the Clippers. There was a pick swap during the draft, the Hornets just had to make the pick for the Clips because the way the NBA tracks draft trades is incredibly stupid. 

Kobes rights were also traded on draft day to the Lakers, so he wasn't exactly their target.  That team is just cursed to always fail forever and make the wrong decisions. 

I think the point was that those superstar players were available at the time Charlotte was on the clock, so yes you can draft that level of talent without winning the draft lottery. 
 

that they chose to make trades instead of just selecting and keeping those players is on them, not the nba or its process.

Deserved? For fucking what?  You idiots lucked into a injury season from Robinson that got you Duncan...then got handed Wemby, and got Cassell too and think you "deserved" Flagg?

Spurs for some reason be getting gifted shit like they the Lakers.

NOPEEEE I think thee was absolutely something going on.

Chill Drew. The world is way better when @Michael Knight is doing his Spurs shit. Might actually get me caring again.

I hope that's just ignorance from PG because it comes across as pretty racist. I mean that's a fucking WILD take for anyone with a brain that has watched Flagg play.

yeah he doesn’t even give any reasons as to why he feels the way he feels. 100% feels like a typical case of “white boy can’t be that good”.

Listen, man, you don't get post-career Kendrick Perkins' money by rattling off logical, rational, well-reasoned takes.

George isn’t completely off base. I’d like to see the full interview with an explanation.
 

Flagg is probably Pippen. Pippen is a hall of famer, but he was never considered a franchise player. If George had said this and followed it up with I think Bailey has a better chance to become a franchise player, then sure that’s within the realm of a reasonable take. 
 

The Sixers will probably desperately try to the trade the 3rd pick, fail miserably, Bailey will develop into a perennial All Star, and Morey will continue his graft another decade.

Flagg isn't Pippen. He's LeBron.

You're a fucking moron.

Jesus. I was just trying to present the other side. Calm down. 

There is no "other side". There is no debate to be had. 

Paul George is a lunatic for making that comment and probably racist. For you to then try and hold water for him is insane. 

Have you fucking watched this kid play basketball? 

I mean even your Pippen comp is hysterical. You think Ace Bailey projects to be better than Scottie Pippen? What the fuck are you talking about.

No way Bailey is better.   Shit they had the #2 and #3 prospects and didnt even make the tourney.   We've seen those kinda players before in Fultz and Simmons.     If you cannot get your team to the tourney and at least win a game or two I'm not buying that you can dominate pros.     Too many examples of great players on subpar teams still getting a game or two in the tournament (Steph, Ja, Kawhi, and more) for me to put in faith in Bailey being that good.

That said I really dont think either is a franchise player.    Those clips weren't really special to me.   Just a very good CBB player.  We will see.

They'd be special to you if he was black. 

He's about to set the league on fire. Dallas stumbling ass-backwards into him is crazy.

Again, I’m trying to understand where George is coming from. I never said I agreed with him or that Bailey is a better player.

Lets take a step back.   What is your definition of setting the league on fire? 

Of the last 5 ROYs:  Ja, Lamelo, Scottie Barnes, Paolo, Wemby who do you think he is as good as coming in?   I'd have him slotted in a tie for 3rd with Paolo behind Wemby and Ja.  I didnt think Paolo was special coming out either.   Still not sold on him being a franchise level player.

It’s a good draft. Of course Glagg could be a generational player. Harper would be the first pick on almost every other draft. A lot of people think he’s a Cade Cunningham level prospect 

Tre and Fears should also be really good pros. 
 

The top 6 should a really good player. Unfortunately, the Rockets are not in top 6.
