As an NBA fan since I was in elementary school, I think using the NBA conspriacy model(which just seems to validate itself all the time) The NBA usually falls two ways: Major-Market conspiracy or hot young team conspiracy. WARNING: THIS POST IS FROM A DELUSIONAL NBA CONSPIRACY PERSPECTIVE THAT IT IS ALIVE AND WELL bc of TV contracts and make moves to enhance these teams first.

Case in point: Charlotte Hornets get Larry Johnson and improve to a 27?win season. They were entertaining to watch and LJ was explosive while the Orlando Magic were running with the Nick Anderson, Scott Skiles, Dennis Scott Tandem and 25-35 win team.

Charlotte was leading the league in attendance and a hot merchandising standard in the league. They saw the same possibilities in Orlando and Thus "gave" the magic Shaq...while further enhancing the new hot Charlotte team with Alonzo Mourning.

Dont get me started on trying to Market the "myth" of Shaq his rookie season. Now both teams are nationally relevant and playoff contenders with Anfernee Hardaway going to Orlando..Again! Like the Hornets had two years in a row. Hot young team to get two potential star players.

The point of this is that the only ACE the Bobcats have is Jordan and his relationship to make the NBA this powerful. Otherwise using the Major Market-hot young team model, the Bobcats have no shot at the no.1 pick.

Stern is a finicky guy, I know he hates the product that the Bobcats put on the floor and may make a point to not reward this organization bc the Bobcats offer nothing to the NBA(poor attendance, no tv market, poor merchandising, no relevance outside of they suck and Jordan is the owner..which is also a joke)

So i would not expect to see a no.1 pick in Charlotte's hands. The NBA gods will not allow it...

But if we do get the no.1 pick...it is bc Stern owes Jordan and we should get a great pick in 2013 as well!

DELLUSIONAL NBA CONSPIRACY had concluded...and I win either way...lol

Hornets are no longer league owned but I could most def believe an agreement between Stern and Benson (new owner) when he sold the team. Davis is a commodity.

I'm watching Dan Patrick right now and one of those dannettefags is convinced Brooklyn is going to win.

i thought i saw a stat that ran across the bottom during Sportscenter- only 3 out of 18 times since the Lottery has been in place has the worst team (most # of ping-pong balls) won the #1 draft pick..

Well if and when the bobcats get screwed, maybe sentiment will grow that this whole lottery thing is just awful and needs to be abolished.

So what if a team tanks for a higher draft pick? At least that shows they want to get better in the long run!

Let's just call the lottery what it is. It's a way for the black hand of the NBA to control the marketability and ownership of the teams

Guarantee you, if we get the #1 pick, Mr.TD hops back on our nuts and changes his avy to the Bobcats. Dude is an Anthony Davis fluffer to the max.

Davis is a once in a lifetime talent bro. Ill admit that if they get lucky enough to pick him, i might tune in a little more next season but still wont support the team.

Youve been playing this whole lottery thing off like its no biggie if the bobcats don't win the lottery but when they get screwed and end up with Thomas Robinson or MKG, a part of you is going to die inside and there is absolutely no reason to believe the bobcats season next year will be any better than the one we just saw and laughed at.

So don't kid yourself dude. The bobcats need Anthony Davis a hell of a lot more than he needs them. Fact.

Since they've changed the weighting (after the Magic had the worst odds and ended up with the #1 in 1993), the worst team has only won twice. For perspective, the 3rd and 5th worst team have each won it 4 times.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
