    Iko: What’s the sense around Detroit this week? Is there any apprehension about where they could possibly land? I remember being in the room last year and hearing the collective gasps when the Pistons ended up with the No.5 pick

    Edwards:
    Yeah, there’s a little bit of anxiety, I think. Detroit doesn’t expect to have a very good chance at landing the No. 1 pick again moving forward, so it really wants to capitalize on it while it’s here.

    Yes, that's exactly the very real way that probability works. No wonder their team sucks.

    This is why you don't tank. No worth it in the NBA.

    I hope he busts.

    Save it. I don’t care.

    Alperen Sengun is better than Wembanyama, and will have a much more productive career.

    Book it.

    Pretty much any bottom 5 team would have been preferable to the Spurs.

    Having to hear about the "Tony Parker connection" as if it makes a difference and what an elite franchise the Spurs are for - winning a drawing again - just makes me want to retch.

    Random events are random. I know human cognitive nature is to construct a pattern and a story (Spurs greatness) but man, shut up and listen. Entropy is the real franchise player

    I don't think its classless at all.

    Fair to hope a guy sucks, its only classless if you hope its due to injury.

    Maybe he simply won't be as good as advertised?

    Tanking did not pay off and we don't want to do it for the next 2 seasons...

    Jalen is my only hope of superstardom. I missed out on Paolo and then Wemby.

    Frittata must feel like an idiot now for his drunken "Pray for Victor" statement.
