TRADE: ORL Gets Desmond Bane | MEM Gets KCP+Cole Anthony +4 FRPs

[cow]

Now tell me how strong your reaction would be, if the Mavs didn´t have Cooper Flagg coming in, and tell me again this lottery was one big coincidence. 

With literally every deal for the next decade this would have happened with an highly toxic atmosphere in the 5th biggest NBA market, Harrison under 24/7 personal security and an half-empty arena on top.  

Still like the trade for Orlando.

I don't really buy into the conspiracy theory stuff (no judgement if you do), but the NBA script writers certainly know how to keep me hooked.  I think the easiest answer is that Nico is a fucking idiot (Thanks, Mark!) and when the franchise needed it most, and for the first time ever, we moved up in the lottery.  We aren't out of the woods yet and we usually figure out a way to trip over our own dicks.
