One of my preseason predictions was that Spurs players would be sick of hearing the name Victor Wembanyama by Thanksgiving, and I’m already wrong.
I should have said Halloween. – 4:44 PM

Proposal: If the tankin’ Spurs and the tankin’ Jazz make the Western Conference finals, Adam Silver should declare that the winner gets Victor Wembanyama. – 8:39 PM

The Jazz just beat the Pelicans. They’re now 3-0.
Danny Ainge is going to have to make, like, four trades overnight to fix this Victor Wembanyama tank job. – 9:48 PM

More on this storyline
Tony Parker, while speaking to the French newspaper “L’Equipe”, had only high praises for the young French basketball prodigy: “Victor is a phenomenon apart, who has everything to make it, but he missed half of last season with us due to injuries. The most important thing is that he stays healthy. If he does to the draft, he’ll be the first pick in the 2023 draft and change the franchise he goes to. I wish him a career in Tim Duncan”. -via EuroHoops.net / October 25, 2022
In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews on “NBA Today,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that he believes the changes the league has made to its system in recent seasons, from flattening the lottery odds to adding the play-in tournament, have greatly reduced the incentives for teams to tank for high-profile prospects, including French phenom Victor Wembanyama. “You’re dealing with a 14% chance of getting the first pick,” Silver said. “I recognize at the end of the day analytics are what they are and it’s not about superstition. A 14% chance is better than a 1% chance or a no percent chance. But even in terms of straightforward odds, it doesn’t benefit a team to be the absolute worst team in the league, and even if you’re one of the poor-performing teams, you’re still dealing with a 14% chance [of winning the lottery]. -via ESPN / October 25, 2022
