  1. So from the nine cheats you have a few which are not cheats but just different rules and one where the superstart is Derek Lively II

  2. The title is "9 NBA Teams Who CHEATED To Get A Superstar", yet for the majority of the teams you stated, it wasn't actually cheating. You're better than this clickbait title.

  3. I would have liked the 1978 rules in 2023 only if the team would have to renounce the rights. When player declares hes going back to school ala baseball

  4. This is one of the worst click bait NBA videos I have ever seen. You admit that 90% of the moves made in this video actually followed the rules of the time but you act like they are some minor exception or a technicality every time. Not to mention some of your tales are flat out wrong and it would only take a minimum of effort to know better. IT’s injuries were headline news, not some big secret Boston slid by Cleveland. Even if that wasn’t the case, players go through physicals before trades are considered valid to avoid exactly what you are accusing Boston of. Many trades have been voided over the years when teams get results from physicals they did not anticipate. The fact is that Kyrie’s trade demand took the Cavs by surprise and they cut down their options for getting an optimal deal for him because they were still in win now mode so they wanted talent that gave them a chance to win at least one more before Lebron bolted, which eliminated packages that could have been centered around picks and expiring contracts. That is a common route for teams trading a superstar. Teams we’re not lining up to trade a legit star replace Kyrie in the Cav’s big 3 and hand Lebron another chip or two in Cleveland. The timing really limited the Cav’s options. Plus, with your Brunson conspiracy theory, you forgot to mention that his dad had been an assistant to Thibs before and the two go back to when he was a player on the Knicks himself. Thibs hiring Rick Brunson as an assistant fits with his history aside from recruiting Jalen. The whole, “We didn’t get a chance to negotiate” BS from the Mavs just ignored that they had failed to come up with a deal for Jalen several times and were told way in advance that they had burned their bridges by repeatedly taking him for granted and trying to lowball deals that were already ridiculous home town discounts. I rarely give thumbs down, but you earned this one. 👎🏾

  5. While I think the Knicks conspired to ensure they got Jalen, Cuban coulda solved that had he actually negotiated and signed brunson the year before instead of trying to play hard ball again before he went off in the playoffs lol.
