Gee, You Don't Suppose That Was Fixed...

This is funny every year. We had a what? 5% better chance than New Orleans, but them winning means it's fixed. I'll go ahead and write the headlines people were prepping for their latest "The Lottery is Rigged" story if somebody else had won:

Bobcats: The NBA fixed it to help out Jordan.

Cleveland: The NBA is making up for Lebron.

Warriors: The NBA is rewarding them for getting a new stadium deal.

Washington: Big market, more money

New Jersey: Moving to Brooklyn and it's a big market team with famous owners

Toronto: appeasing the Canadians and the Basketball Jones podcast.

But still people convince themselves that the NBA wanted the most popular player to go to New Orleans, which more than any other team and fanbase, is the basketball version of Siberia. Losing out on Davis sucks, but convincing yourself of some garbage conspiracy sucks worse.

I mean you should at least be happy that we got the 2nd pick, when we statistically had the greatest probabillity of getting the 4th pick (I know it's weird. Look it up).

these are all just dumb. the lotto was already rigged for cleveland last year because of lebron's departure. washington had it rigged 2 years ago with john wall.

but in all seriousness it is probably rigged. david stern is a piece of fuging poo human being.

The only two conspiracy theories I heard beforehand were Brooklyn and New Orleans. The rest of those are obviously stretches, especially the team with the lowest record getting the #1

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      RBs are easy to find. Not the least bit worried. I like this King kid tho. His throwing motion is weird to me but he's an athlete. Hope he gets lots of run in the preseason and we're not watching THE will grier mopping up.

      I love the linemen. Intrigued by the idea of Brazzell but a little skeptical  No opinion of the others

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      I'll say the same thing this year that I said last year, wins and losses aren't important. The only important thing is coming to a decision on Bryce one way or the other.  If he looks amazing but we find ways to lose, who cares we lost, we have our QB of the future.  If he looks terrible but we find ways to win, who cares that we won, we have to replace him. And that's not me saying I don't want to see us win next year, just saying that wins/losses are secondary and far less important this season than coming to a 100% conclusion on what Bryce is for us. Having said that, the only way I'll be okay with giving him an extension instead of replacing him is if he is a borderline MVP candidate and at minimum, an unquestioned Top 10 QB in the league next year. Even just a season of slight improvement won't be enough for me, that's still not good enough to warrant a big extension, he has the team around him, he needs to show why he was the #1 overall pick, if not, good bye.
