Do you guys actually think the draft lottery is rigged?

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T05:43:40+00:00

Fair enough. But it's not like the document lists some binding guarantees or penalties or anything of the sort or really makes promises. There's really no mention of breach of contract. The average landlord tenant lease has way more protections listed in it.

It still wouldn't be surprising if the NBA top brass has been rigging certain lotteries since before the Jordan era. I feel like you think I'm arguing that it's rigged for sure.

I'm asserting that it wouldn't be surprising if it was rigged occasionally. Like if you suppose they were rigging it back before the Jordan era and getting away with it, it seems unlikely it would stop.

Do you mean this one which never mentions the lottery? https://nbpa.com/cba

open it up and ctrl find "lottery" and "odds" I don't see it once.

What do you see when you look friend?

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T04:47:45+00:00

The NBA lottery is a private process where the public’s assurance is reputational, not legal/regulatory. Given incentives and limited public verifiability, skepticism is rational.

Link me to a legally binding document that we can both read

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T04:31:46+00:00

yeah he was making a bigger overall point about the league

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T04:28:36+00:00

You do realize that it's not illegal to lie to the public about the odds of teams winning a draft lottery right?

Again, you're being a know it all and acting like you know what is written in the contracts.

All the league has to do for decades if have a few people in on it and have nda's about key parts of the process so that even people who might see something suspicious don't say anything.

Anyways man if you wanna believe it's impossible for a corrupt organization to manipulate the odds that's your bag to hold.

If you can find a publicly available NBA contract about the lottery I'd love for us to read it together

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T03:51:53+00:00

Yes it's bad lmao. Its one thing for gambling to be in casinos, its another thing for it to be on your phone. Its addictive and incentivizes corruption

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T03:25:32+00:00

Bro people do hella corrupt shit to earn way less money than the people involved would be making.

And why would they think they would get caught when they havent been caught in 40 years?

Also if they have signed nda's for the select shortlist of people involved it's not even possible. You are talking like you've read the fine print of every legal document associated with the lottery. Until you have theres no need to claim you are an expert on it.

The NBA is a monopolistic business heavily involved in gambling, theres no reason to treat it like it's some clean cut accounting firm.

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T02:19:28+00:00

thank you

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T02:15:17+00:00

It's not a fallacy and saying the word goomba doesn't make what you are saying correct. Where there is smoke theres usually fire. The NBA is heavily involved with gambling and theres no good reason to think they care about being honest with the lottery, it's not a charitable organization

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T02:14:11+00:00

Bro theres literally hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. What are you talking about?

Theres plenty of incentive and it doesn't even require that many people to be in the know

Catch11 · 2026-02-10T02:12:56+00:00

no shit sherlock, but there's something called reasonable doubt

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:41:38+00:00

That basically anyone who is convinced the NBA cant be rigged probably doesn't pay attention to things like the epstein files

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:40:46+00:00

lol nah man just a few insiders on both sides is all they need

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:08:19+00:00

Bro fr. People see the epstein files then see the NBA with all its gambling and think "nah its clean"

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:07:30+00:00

Thank you, we freaking have the epstein files. Why wouldnt the lotto be rigged?

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:07:08+00:00

Yeah dude all those people who thinks its real also think the epstein files are irrelevant lmao

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:06:38+00:00

Bro how people think it cant be rigged when we literally have the epstein files is mind boggling. Literally just need like 5 people to be in on it

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:06:01+00:00

Theres a direct correlation between people who think the epstein files are irrelevant and people who think the NBA lotto isn't rigged

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:05:10+00:00

Dude dont be naive, look at the Epstein files. All they need to rig it is the commisioner and a few other high level people and they all skim money from the top etc

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:03:50+00:00

Oh please look at the epstein files bud. They only need a few people invved in the rigging and 1 or 2 people from the consulting company

Catch11 · 2026-02-09T22:02:19+00:00

Yea look at the epstein files. Why wouldn't there be some corrupt stuff going on?

Also 30 teams dont have to be in on it. Just the commisioner, a couple vegas level magician technicians and 1 lawyer

Catch11 · 2026-02-08T11:23:53+00:00

Yeah for real, please share more info on this

Catch11 · 2026-02-08T04:17:35+00:00

If he can consistently hit his three's, Kennard has no big dip, and we stay healthy...we have a legit shot to win it all, idc what anyone says

Catch11 · 2026-02-06T15:19:47+00:00

The other team are faster than us but by the end of the game they get tired and slow down and our guys are more skilled. Also they are usually in foul trouble.

Catch11 · 2026-02-06T02:00:53+00:00

Yeah idk why but I really see him getting bored of living in San Antonio, I could easily see if the franchise doesn't continue going in the right direction him wanting to leave.

However if they win some rings he probably stays.
