@AJohnsonNBA It's not like they blew up the Going to Work Pistons or the Bad Boys. They've been top 10 in payroll for 4 years straight. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did they finish with a top 10 record in any of those years? Not getting their money's worth IMO.
@RohanNadkarni If contracts are unfair because it allows teams to trade players but players can't just walk, then eliminate Free Agency, eliminate the draft, and just have a pay as you go system like the rest of us. "Oh, you tore your ACL, sorry, you're fired. Maybe someone else will hire you."
@RohanNadkarni This isn't a normal working environment. You can't say a guy who makes $130 million for playing a game is getting mistreated or it's unfair. It's like saying it's not fair that someone has to drive a Ferrari when they really wanted to drive Lotus.
@RohanNadkarni I hear the common refrain from buddy writers that talented people in tech get to choose what company they work for. They also have the ability to be fired on the spot for poor performance. You can't cherry-pick the best of all working conditions and say, here you go.
@David_Mayo History suggests the young people will not get out of bed to vote and boomers will have their alarm clocks set to the play the national anthem at 5 am on election day.
@detnewsRodBeard I mean the fake Blake news trade makes more sense now. Hawks have cap space to blow, they are prioritizing shooting & they aren't sniffing a meeting for any free agent worth a damn. If they traded Baze and Collins for Blake, they'd be around low $80's in committed salary w/Crabbe
Jeff Van Gundy said what a luxury it was to have Bogut as a third center. But, what a luxury to have Doris Burke doing sideline at the finals. @NBA#NBAFinals@espn@heydb
@TommyBeer There's not a case for a supermax center in today's game. Giannis left money on the table, which gave the bucks flexibility and they are ring hunting right now. Supermax handicaps a franchise. Why would a player want to play on a team fighting with one hand behind it's back?
@AJohnsonNBA Considering how important he’s likely viewed for the stretch run, I’d think they want to give him as much run as they can sustain before the AS break to get him acclimated to tendencies, the offense, etc.
@rubyslippercafe @Vincent_Ellis56 @PelicansNBA That's the location and she was wearing an @AntDavis23 jersey. So you probably hit the nail on the head.
