Acceptance is necessary part of life, as is rationalization. Doors close, windows open. No repeat for the C's but they are still ahead of the Lakers. Mavs front office doesn't deserve Flagg but Dallas fans and players do. And at least Flagg won't be stuck in Charlotte, Utah or Washington, trying to learn how to win in franchises that have been trying not to win. Gianni will go someplace really cool and the Bucks will amass a small cadre of interesting players and picks. Maybe Kyrie, Tatum and Steph will move into Jimmy Butler's mansion for group rehab while Jimmy rents Klay's boat for next season and becomes a Warrior Monk, the Ronin of Oakland, his life pared down to 90 feet of focus.

The Great Hoop turns and the Celestial Ball is forever All Net.

I like the way you think, Barron

The world needed to remind us how fleeting success is, how quickly fortunes can change, and how fickle dominance can be. Philosophy aside, the maths indicates there's got to be some investigation into how the #1 pick seems to be magnetically attracted to teams that have shifted big players to big franchises

I grew up a Jazz fan and live in the DC area.

Yesterday was a pretty dark day, lol.

I will say this, though. I had a feeling something was up when DC got the #6 pick.

One good possibility from the Giannis news (about damn time for that, BTW) and the lottery results... Giannis in San Antonio? Putting him and Wemby together would be borderline unfair for the rest of the league.

Yeah from a basketball strategy perspective it’s very intriguing to think about where he lands, but there will be lots of time for that in the coming weeks. I just wanted to take a moment for Milwaukee fans. But definitely from a CONTENT perspective, Giannis moving is a great thing ha

Yeah, Milwaukee fans cannot be loving life right now, that's true. At least they did get one title out of Giannis.
