Around The NBA : 2025-26

Sucks that San Antonio, Dallas, and Philly got 1-3 of a great class.
The lottery system is pretty much a complete failure in its intended goal, spreading out rookie stars to teams that lack one.

Man I don't want to create a thread about it, but "Pippen Ain't Easy" is such an unbelievably trash website. I HATE that it pops up in suggestions for me.

Worst tabloid style click bait garbage I've seen focused on the Bulls.

Example, today's lead headline is "Coby White's future in Chicago has become brutally obvious after just 2 games".

What a **** joke. Just venting, and frankly hoping the publishers see it here and see how disliked it is.

It's hardly a real site. More provides an opportunity for people to test their hand at writing there.

Source: I wrote some article there in 2014

Lesson learned: it's very hard to write consistently and in a way that would be interesting and unique enough to be worth reading

It's amateur bloggers, and like many sites, publishers write the titles.

It's probably someone very young working to develop better writing skills. Don't be so hard on them.

I don't particularly care who within the org is to blame, I just hate click bait lying hyperbole garbage, which is what I consistently see them publish.

I have never been a "it's rigged" guy but in light of the recent gambling stuff and then SA and Dallas getting incredible draft luck, in SA's case over and over, it does really make you wonder.

The only thing keeping me from really believing it is that I'd imagine the other owners would never stand for such a system, would they?

why would the league rig things for the san antonio spurs. who play in san antonio texas.

I just can't imagine any incentive for owners to rig a league and for other owners to go along with it knowing that it doesn't benefit them. Why would the Hornets be happy knowing they missed out on a generational draft pick by one spot? Why would the NBA want that player in San Antonio of all places?

That said, I'm not slightly surprised that players and people in organizations are profiting off inside information as it pertains to sports betting. That's low hanging fruit.

historic, internationally known franchise for most millenials given the Admiral, Timmy, Manu and Parker and others. and one with an iconic coach that is important as an ambassador for the sport here and in Europe.

not exactly original thoughts I'm putting down here and I don't really believe it, but I also don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
