Maybe, the Bucks are in a good spot now if they want to move him. In fact, with all things aligning having win now teams get the top 2 picks in basically a 2 player draft it couldn't have gotten any better for them.

Dude somehow more crooked than David Stern haha
When do we get rewarded for what happened with Fox. Oh now, Spurs get the #2.
Monte should have fought harder for their pick this year frankly.
I will LOL if they keep the pick though and stay on Wemby's timeline.

Meh, Wemby’s been pretty vocal about winning now so trading the pick is on his timeline.
Ok fine, MIL should ask for #2 and Fox for Dame and Giannis.
Good news for SA is they'd also have to take all the crappy guys they paid the last 2-3 seasons and no longer want.

Spurs and Sixers tanked too.

Yeah, his timeline was on day 1. Besides, historically better get that ball moving because the health thing already appears to be hitting him. Although it's a flukey thing. Players that height are what they are in terms of longevity.

Spurs didn’t tank. Their best player just had blood clots and their interim coach was bad. Sixers didn’t tank, they were just terrible

League planting the second pick to secure Giannis to San Antonio isn’t slick either

Exactly, the Spurs were freaking shameless towards the end. This rewarded the rich and now the rich get richer. This is really, really bad haha.

Fox for sure was tanking. Fox's reward? Another PG? haha.

They literally had Jordan. Cry us a river.
Miracle shot in the arm aside, I'm just glad this owed pick thing is over. It's just a shame we didn't just let ATL have our pick in 23 instead of holding it for a season.

It's amazing how these things just align themselves with random bounces of ping pong balls

So imagine if the Rockets get Giannis, Mavs just keep Flagg and the Spurs do the trade proposed in this thread. West is out of control

This happening on top of them only getting one first round pick (that also happened to be their own), Josh Giddey, and a couple of rotation guys for their old core of Lavine/Deebo/Caruso is hilarious though.
Teams split the x/y odds evenly in the coin flip. Unless it was the one extra chance that landed, I am not sure we can 100% say which team would have had the magic ball that hit.

Spurs and Sixers absolutely tanked, what is this revisionist history?

They tanked because they sat Fox who had played all year with the kings. Sixers were sitting everyone once they realized they could lose their pick. Not saying those weren’t the right decisions but they were actively trying to lose at the end.

People are stupid man Nico is a good GM look how he built that Dallas team thinking he did that Luka trade without force is asinine.

Mavs fans suffer, but not for long. It's a rule. Dirk ages out, get Luka, trade Luka, get Flagg. Very strange, not.

I’m not sure if Fox FINALLY getting hand surgery counts as them sitting him though. Dude hurt his hand in preseason and decided to keep trying to play through it for the first four months of the NBA season anyways

When it comes to drama, there is no league like the NBA haha
