Scott Perry and Vivek watching every other team tank and not even thinking to ask what they’re doing

Kings fans are social experiment on how how you can keep people being basketball fans no matter how many times you punch them in the face

De’Aaron Fox in the past two games: 21 PTS (13 in 4Q) - 9 AST - 8/14 FG 28 PTS (11 in 4Q) - 7 AST - 6 REB Showed up when his team needed him the most… Clutch. (@realapp)

SWIPA WINS HIS FIRST SERIES 🦊 De'Aaron Fox notches his first playoff series win in Year 9!

Some of y'all owe De'Aaron Fox an apology

Fox hate is very quiet tonight

@AndrewDBailey LeBron

Who is NBA history’s ultimate “if he ever figures out how to shoot” guy?

@Carsobi And it’s weird you live behind a computer, dweeb!

@Carsobi You’re a weirdo

DeMar DeRozan only needs to average 18 PPG for another 105 games to surpass Shaq in career points and enter the all-time Top 10 I find this deeply disturbing

The Mavs just sat Cooper Flagg for the last 5 minutes of the game for Dwight Powell in a 7 point game. Will the NBA look into that? A team that has been fined for tanking blatantly before? Just give us a baseline so franchises don't get selected for random moments.

I mean genuinely hilarious to force feed Demar 35+ minutes at this point in the season

@ShamsCharania These are all horrible options wtf is wrong with you

The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.

Why the fuck are we trying to win with dough McDermott?

The Sacramento Kings are so bad, they are bad at being bad. Glad to see they're pissing away an opportunity at a top 5 pick in a loaded draft class so they can set themselves back another decade.

@CarmichaelDave Starts at the TOP! Until then you will be wanting Forever…

@ShamsCharania Get rid of Adam silver he’s genuinely awful. All you have to do is get rid of the lottery and go base off win-loss record

Multiple sources with knowledge of Thursday's GM meeting as well as a late January Competition Committee meeting told ESPN that the following concepts have been discussed to curb tanking: •First-round picks can be protected only top-4 or top-14+ •Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date •No longer allowing a team to pick top 4 in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-3 finishes •Teams can’t pick top-4 the year after making conference finals •Lottery odds allocated based on two-year records •Lottery extended to include all play-in teams •Flatten odds for all lottery teams
