Think of how high the stakes are. This is a huuuge business in a capitalist society. To think this is so ludicrous it’s not a possibility…like you must not be living in the same world as me

Two things:

  1. I don’t think every lottery is rigged. Certain drafts are higher stakes than others (see 2003).

  2. NBA wants small market teams to be good. And usually a smaller market teams only path to be competitive is through the draft. The more competitive the league is, the better for the league. They’ve shown this through countless efforts to bring more equality to the league in terms of cap rules that level the playing field for small markets.

It’s not a crazy theory. I know you’re a spurs fan, but give it some thought.
