Dallas Maverick’s

It would be a kick in the teeth if they lost the pick! What terrible management. Can't even lose properly.

Gonna lose the pick, then Irving, then Doncic.

You know, I read this yesterday thinking the NBA might take a look at this behavior.

Then today bjb posted that link.

I had a feeling this looked just a little too obvious.

Cuban ran into this before and was fined in 2018.

Well, apparently the fine didn't work. Maybe time for a more serious remedy.

Give the knicks the pick. What Dallas did is bullshit. Especially with Cuban whining about Brunson the other day.

I don't know exactly what the hell is going on in Dallas? But if it's true they still had a legitimate shot at making the playoffs when they sat 5-6 players... I'd raise hell if I was a season ticket holder. It's an absolute disgrace... and Cuban is the only one to blame. Fukk him.

This goes to show... every fan is being humiliated... you watch the NBA... you talk about the NBA... and you go to the games... and Cuban sat his players. All time new low.

Why is Dallas favored by -4 today? Do the Spurs want to tank more than Dallas?

What is the point of playing 1 quarter?

There was a large Slovenian contingent at the game. The front office wanted to at least appease them somewhat. Cuban really fukked this up. He openly told the team, including players to lose. We’ve never seen this. We’ve seen teams putting in Gleague guys that just aren’t any good but he instructed the players to lose. If the NBA takes away that pick it would serve them right.

I guess since Dallas has secured the 10th pick they’ll be motivated to win today. I kinda think the players are going to say Fukk it and lose anyway.

Agree with you on the later part which makes the first part moot... But wonder anyway, are you sure they're bottom 10? Bulls can match them at 43 losses. And didn't they make the lottery positioning based on 2 seasons, or am I confusing it with WNBA?

I read that they have the 10th spot locked up already. Maybe because of head to head.

And just like I expected the Mavs are down 21 points in the first quarter.

5/28 shooting!

Another fine...

Mavericks hit with $750K fine for resting players in key game

Cuban was fined 600k in 2018 and admitted to tanking in 2017, but I don't think anything came of that one.

Unreal.
