Jayson Tatum Gets Hurt plus Dallas Wins the Cooper Flagg Lottery | LIVE | The Bill Simmons Podcast

House u would be blessed to have Embiid in that garbage franchise in Washington

Bill putting 2003 Draft on this rigged list is ridiculous. Cavs tanked that year, yes. But they sucked and had #1 odds. It’s rigged when these ridiculously low percent ones win a slam dunk #1 like Dallas with Flagg. Even 2011, Cavs won but with the lower odd selection of Clippers from trade for some reason and there was still a healthy debate at the time of Kyrie vs. Derrick Williams because Kyrie hadn’t played many college games due to his injury.

Tatum having a career altering injury and the most blatantly rigged NBA draft lottery of all time in the same night.

AD now the center piece in 3 Rigged Draft Lotteries. This Fake Lottery been happening since day one…. NBAs way of manipulating &amp; controlling the flow of talent in the NBA. If you don’t see you’re either ignorant or you work for the league..

Pingas looks like he’s 60….. With him healthy Boston sweeps them. He shouldn’t be out there. Celts healthy repeat. If not they have no chance….

I could have sworn Ryen predicted Dallas winning the NBA lottery on a prior podcast. He is the only true NBA insider from here on out &amp; everyone else are NBA agents news peddlers.

Happy Birthday Haus

Dallas winning the lottery means that obviously the NBA threw the Lakers a bone with the Luka trade. This is was all planned.

Does Joe House disc golf?!?!

Unless Bill comes out and admits that he is only entertaining the &quot;NBA Draft is rigged&quot; for the entertaining content that it provides, he loses all credibility IMO.

It’s like Lenin said…you look for the person who will benefit…and uh…you know…

horrible news for a great player. Recover quickly Tatum

@Bill Simmons, what if Boston trades Brown, Holiday, White, etc to Dallas and get Cooper Flagg?

My friend left Mavs fandom after the Luka trade and after the lottery still said he was out so it’s probably more common than not

people in the comments don&#39;t understand how statistics work, and can&#39;t perceive that an event with 1.7% chance, is kind of likely to happen over a sequence of several years. and also they aren&#39;t aware that many different scenarios have about this chance, and in any other reality where one of the other low chance events had happened, they would be just as doubtful.

why havent you guys thought about flagg refusing to play for dallas and returning to duke.

This Tatum injury reminds me of the Klay Thompson injury in the Finals. It was really upsetting and sad. Devastated the fan base, the team and the players. Hopefully he can get back to 85-90% of what he was. He&#39;s still young. But damn. Pretty sad.

flagg still has time to return to duke.

Wemby&#39;s time is now. Just look at bigs with health issues like Bill Walton and Yao Ming. Hopefully he has a few solid years. So that should be kept in mind, if they want a good shot at the title in the next couple years if they can trade for Giannis, or if they think Dylan Harper is the actual guy to build around for 10 - 15 years, and with any healthy Wemby years a bonus. The point is, given the history of NBA bigs and their health, not to bank on a lot of great Wemby years.
