I know Knicks are disappointed but honestly...with a 14% chance on the first pick you have no right to complain if you don't win it because you aren't supposed to. Suns and Bulls can be mad. Lakers have been on a tear with draft luck and they have a strong scouting department. There is still the real possibility of Pelinka and Rambis to screw this up but its a way better position than we had before.
This was comedy gold, Bill Simmons was so mad, hating so hard, everyone was commenting on how red he was turning, language warning Bonus, tweets from C Bags homer media guys or guys that aren’t supposed to be but are like Mannix, laugh track volume warning
Oh that felt great to see Simmons all bitter. Nothing like going from the ECF, to losing in the second round with your "star players" back, then your star players wanting to leave, Rozier coming out to air his dirty laundry, to having your picks mean absolutely nothing. Wait, who's franchise is in limbo now?
I'm also quite thrilled we dont ever have to see Simmons smug face on TNT, EPSN or any other major sports network I watch anymore....now if we could only find some dirt or something to get Paul "ITS OVER AFTER 1 GM" Pierce out of ESPN.

Here’s some doom from Suns fans for @alam1108. Most of it is the old, NBA is rigged thing. Some of their fans are interested in trying to get D. Russ and Randle this summer. It could have been until the Lakers moved up. Then it’s, Riggappaloosa. It was more like 9 something % but you know....math. Who, who. Seeing rookies disappointment, I guess that’s the highlight of a Suns fans summer. You’re still within the Process. Why would the Sixers trade with you? Good grief, and I thought Boston fans were bad with the whole Jason Tatum worship. This is an interesting concept. This post above is definitely worthy of a flagrant. I would say the one that is willing to take your money. Beggars can’t be choosers. He does meet the above “bum of a vet” willing to take your money. How about we trade you Jason Kidd for the number 6 pick. He’s a point guard.
Knick fans deserve all that suffering....Boo'd Zingis when he was finally a pick that panned out and still messed that up.
I don’t normally post a whole article but there’s too much “win” in this one, not to. At the end is a poll. Interesting that 75% of C bag fans are either optimistic or relived. I’ll be posting more doom along the way. Everything Ainge built just went up in flames: AD is gone The entire future was built around landing AD and pairing him with Kyrie and Hayward. Now that AD is OUT, Kyrie is likely OUT too, at least if I were Kyrie, there is no way I would stay... not when the Bucks and Toronto are lightyears ahead. Jaylen Brown barely knows how to dribble the ball, let alone becoming an actual play maker. How many years will we have to watch him try to learn that skill that the Kawhi Leonard's of the world were born with and always had a knack for? I'm talking about knowing how to put the ball on the court and create offense - not just for himself to get any shot he wants - but also to hit the open man when he's open either for the assist or the hockey assist. JB doesn't have a clue - but hold your breath! Because he's a big part of the C Bags future now. Tatum and JB... and poor Gordon Hayward having to share the touches with 2 guys at his same position. We saw how that plays out... it doesn't make any sense. No one can get in a rhythm offensively because too many mouths to feed. Who's going to be point guard? Terry Rozier? Please, stop pouring the gasoline on this fire. I'm literally horrified by what's happening. Everything Danny Ainge tried to build just got destroyed. The C Bags have no chance to compete for a championship now and by the time either JT or JB ascend to superstar level (if they even do) Al and GH will be old and washed up. This is a disaster of epic proportions, and it's a sad time to be a C Bags fan. Nonetheless, I will always bleed green and hope for the best. If i were danny ainge i would consider bring little isaiah back just in order to sell tickets and inspire the fanbase. Sure, when push comes to shove in the games that actually matter (in the playoffs) he will just get double teamed and taken out of the game, but at least during the regular season he would play with heart and effort and prove that a little guy can excel in meaningless regular season nba games, or in playoff rounds against teams that are hanging together by a thread: like the Wizards that one year. Anyways... It's a shame how the NBA operates. Lebron had to have known AD to LAL was confirmed, or he would have never risked his legacy in that dumpster fire. Now New Orleans is stuck w/ the leftovers who will never amount to anything. Ingram is a huge liability and lonzo can't hit a FT over 45%. That's insane that they would do that trade, and how bout the timing of it? Crazy. You know full well Benson agreed to that trade in exchange for Zion. That's a no brainer. Of course, the odds of both LA and Pels landing top 4 in the draft were way under .05% , but no one will blink an eye at that. No one cares. Danny Ainge should speak up and let the world know how freaking rigged the trade was. Well that's it guys. I know there are some superfans out there who are really excited, because with no superstars on the team - the C Bags can get back to playing blue collar basketball - they'll win 55 regular season games and then get exposed in the big games that matter - because there's an answer for the C Bags players - but there's no answer for the kawhi's and AD's of the world. The saddest part of the whole thing is that the C Bags did their rebuild the RIGHT WAY. They did everything by the book and came 1 domino away from forming a dynasty. The Lakers did it the wrong way, manufacturing a rebuild and basically (for those who see it clearly) cheated their way to forming a super team. And now the Lakers are in position to win a ring and the C Bags have imploded. How do you guys feel? 12%-angry 41%-relived 34%-optimistic 12%-not surprised, the good guys always finish last.
Here’s a little more C bag doom. Fans starting to turn on Ainge. Yes bring back Isaiah. I’m sure he would run to your team with open arms....for a Brinks truck lol. That white flag will be black from your tank tires running over it this next season. But I have shiny gold picks, want to see?- Ainge No the saddest day will be the year we raise number 18 and finally beat your butts for good. But what about basketball God Tatum? The first guy was this idiot who kept posting that Dwight was better then AD. At least 1 C bag fan shut him down. Back to the gutter from which you came.
Wow, talk about bitter. We did our rebuild the wrong way? Suffering through 6 losing seasons and adding #2 pick after #2 pick, getting value from picks in the late first round, signing a max free agent in LeBron and then flipping those assets we suffered years to build up for AD is cheating? We manufactured a superteam? LeBron, AD, Kuz, Bonga, and Wagner is a superteam? LOL, we have a lot of work to do still before that’s true, what an idiot who wrote that.
we took care of our aging star. they shipped theirs. i feel like that's what pulled both lebron and AD. i've wondered whether the lakers did the right thing with kobe and the late-career contract, but imo, the proof has been in these last two acquisitions.
I agree completely. Probably the one thing we still have going for us as a franchise despite all the FO dysfunction is the loyalty we have shown to our stars. I think we treated Pau pretty well after the CP3 trade was nixed too, and even when the time came for him to move on I remember it was rumored we did still offer him a decent amount of money to stay, like 12 mil per or something for a couple years. FO gave Kobe that legacy deal, they let him go out on his own terms, they didn’t ship him out like Blake Griffin, or like the C Bags did to IT after he’d just killed himself in the playoffs for them right when his sister died in a car accident.
Here’s a few more from Reddit. Space Jam 2. Kuz is a vegetarian but I’m sure he can eat some beignets. Stay in your lane. The treasure chest was empty upon opening. Poor guy on Reddit sold his Nintendo to Josh for tickets next year to a Laker game. Josh don’t let this guy down. Get him tickets when we play New Orleans. That’s King LeBrow. He ain’t never been wrong.
