You could come up with a "rigged" narrative for, like, at least half the teams that could've won the lottery. If it was Charlotte, it'd be "Of course the long-suffering franchise gets the star to pair with marketable LaMelo while everyone's talking about the team getting sold." If it was Portland, it's "Oh, of course Dame gets his running mate - NBA wants to reward that small market team and player for loyalty." "Houston gets the big star to promote the Harden rumors." "Dallas gets another European superstar to team up with Luka." "Haliburton and Victor is must-see TV now."

Are those all less compelling "stories" than the whole San Antonio legacy narrative? I don't know, your mileage may vary on that. But people can find a way to support any theory for these sorts of things.

Anyway,
