As day three of the RDA auction crept along, as players edged off the board, as rosters filled with the NBA's surefire next stars -- Terry Rozier should've gone for triple digits -- owners were instead focused on the biggest mystery of the draft: Where is LAC Joe?
Intrigue turned to speculation to frustration as everyone wondered what was happening with the Clipper franchise. Iso Joe had only nominated one player, hadn’t yet made a single bid, and was as elusive as a wendigo. According to the league charter, not fielding thirty teams would result in the dissolution of the league.
With no word from commissioner Son about the whereabouts of Clipper Joe, the natives got restless ("I’d like to request everyone stop mentioning one dude whose name begins with a J…”) as the draft chat erupted into conspiracy and theories.
Who is LAC Joe?!? Sam Hinkie? Jerry West? Donald Sterling? Kawhi Leonard? A Chinese bot? Keyser Söze? All of these were possibilities but the best was when LAC Joe finally made his appearance online amid the chaos. ("What? That’s LAC Joe’s music!”)
Speculation immediately pointed to Burner Joe, aka Son’s alternate team. "Son saw us bitching and went signed into burner joe…” After all, who are the Clippers but the Lakers' little brother? Could our revered commissioner really be a Vince McMahon-type? Could this be the biggest controversy of Razzball Dynasty Association's young life? Was Son double dipping? Rumors continued to mount as one fellow owner reported that he saw Iso Joe in a helicopter over Toronto. Holding burritos... And then finally a message from the shadows:
[Postscript]: As it turns out, LAC Joe is also a stellar partner as well, as he checked in later with a stepback 4-pointer of life advice: "I'm also just not keeping my phone in my hand all day. That's a one way ticket to a passive aggressive vacation.”
LAC Joe, perhaps the only sane owner in all this RDA madness.

"Hi friends. Don’t worry. Still here. I’m in Chicago consulting with GarPax on team building. Sorry if you can’t see the bigger picture…yet."The perfect answer! An admonishment wrapped in a challenge wrapped in a candy covered greeting. Confusion turned to respect as it was made clear to all that LAC Joe was on another level -- although maybe not quite up to five centers in seven players level yet. Either way, Iso Joe has now elevated himself to the high status of RDA’s first god, long may he reign!
