the fact that season 2 could have easily dived into the friendship between jace and cregan, instead of spending half the season showing us daemon at harrenhal being tormented with hallucination pipe dreams featuring his own mother
a good middle manager looks like a guy who just drinks coffee and forwards emails, but his actual job is secretly absorbing insane executive requests so the team can just do their work
@TheRyenRussillo Good news for T Wolves that the brilliant mind who hated Towns and thought he could never be a winner is saying the same thing about his second least favorite player Lamelo.
Treated Rhaenyra's first three sons as his own, bethroted his daughters to Jace and Luke, beheaded Vaemond for insulting Rhaenyra and her kids, also the only one who tried to get revenge for Luke. You can accuse Daemon of a lot of things, but not this.
People still think Melo’s that 16 year old kid at Chino Hills and don’t know he’s statistically one of the best offensive engines in the league but Naz Reid is still considered good when he’s getting paid 25 million to do nothing besides shoot threes sometimes
Some won’t like this, but the results of what the owners want would result in the type of league 90% of fans want to see.
It’s not about wanting the owners to make more money. It’s not about the wanting the players to make unlimited money. Both sides are equally greedy and neither side actually cares about us, the fans.
I’m for the fans. The fans of Atlanta, of course, but also the fans of teams like the Reds, Dodgers, Rays, Mets, etc. Every fanbase deserves to enter a season at least with a glimmer of hope of success, but that is not the case in today’s MLB.
You can blame some owners for that, and you’d be somewhat right. You can blame some players for that, and you’d be somewhat right.
The byproduct of what the owners want just happens to align with the type of league I, and most fanbases, would like to see. It’s just that simple.
