It seems like the topic is that you’re an awful poster here.

The NBA is not gonna allow the pelicans to get another number one pick as long as we have a previous number one pick on the roster. They don’t want the pelicans to be "too good." It's just not good for viewership.

So, once Zion is signed away as a free agent or traded in the last year of his contract, then the Pelicans will get some decent draft picks. See, e.g., Anthony Davis prior to getting the Zion pick.

Oh yeah ? I'm 78. And BTW, the Saints would probably have to tank 2 years in a row to get the mighty Arch.

Much more self inflicted than snakebit.

Perhaps they can educate themselves on what the draft "lottery" means. If we tanked to get a high draft pick everyone in that front office should be fired.

Getting the number 1 pick in the NBA is pointless if they never play (Zion) because they want to get traded to a bigger market. Those shenanigans don’t happen in the NFL.

Funny I did not hear any Pelicans fans claiming it was “fixed” when they got Zion

Because they all acknowledged that it was fixed when the Pelicans just happened to be lucky enough to get the #1 pick and land AD right after Benson bought the team from the league a few months earlier

So what would show it’s not “fixed”? someone has to get the #1 pick. Seems like there is a narrative regardless of who get the pick. Also no one has ever been able to explain why they “fixed” it for San Antonio to get Tim Duncan rather than Boston

Then you should’ve known that the NFL draft process is totally different from NBA. If the Saints tanked and had the worst record they would undoubtedly be the #1 pick in the draft unlike NBA where you are placed by whatever lotto number is picked regardless of record.

So no apparently you don’t know as much as you claim.
