they got bumped for olympic reruns hahaha

Craig Hodges deserves the title of highest score ever!!

I can't explain why but the fact that he couldn't even leave the three point contest alone is probably what ticks me off the most. A money rack was the first thing he did as commissioner. The "Starry" balls? Bro GTFO

nba all star weekend is such a good microcosm of exactly why adam silver is a bad commissioner

Bro there are like 3 fans there

Also DAME IS IN THE THREE POINT CONTEST?? WHAT?

get their asses nate

Judicial speak for "get fucked"

unrivaled got right in it's inaugural season what the NBA hasn't gotten right for 75 years

nba insideR is exactly how he should be announced

Exactly!

Like, even under a chips system like I proposed, the Jazz may very well have taken the back half of the season to have extended preseason. I don't really have a problem with that, so long as it's not tied to any sort of reward

As a fan of having the best players playing in ultimate competition, I think I would prefer to remove the incentive structure altogether. I don't think it's *bad* to attempt to develop players, I just think it's bad if attempting to lose has any positive value.

read this if you have any foundation of integrity

The Jazz were fined for trying to build a better team and working in a system that incentivizes losing NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s perspective of the integrity of the game is not the same as everyone else’s

Today I offer some thoughts on what the “foundation of NBA competition” and “integrity” of the game mean. Spoiler alert: there is integrity in tanking when the system incentivizes it and backs small markets into a corner.

I don't get why adam silver is so mad that the jazz rested markkanen, he's not even as good as de'aaron fox, norm powell, brandon ingram, alperen sengun, jalen duren, etc.

Remember how the jazz win total was 17.5 haha

- Lottery night: Odds proportional to how many chips you have entered
- Picks are still tradable, so you can hypothetically add in your own pick and another teams' pick with one chip each.
- Chips carry over from year to year so you can stack them if you don't like a draft

- Every team who forgoes putting in a chip is then ranked by wins
- Chips are totally tradable, meaning they'll naturally flow from competitive teams to non-competitive ones
- Every year there's a "chip night" and a draft lottery night
- Chip night: each team declares how many chips they're entering

Lottery chips:
- Every single team in the league gets two lottery chips every year.
- At the end of the year, teams decide how many lottery chips to put into the given draft, blind.
- Every team that put in a chip is eligible for the lottery, the entire stack of teams is determined by the lottery.

My first vote is for lottery chips. Start with 14, get two every year, tradeable assets, play however many you want for any given draft.

My second vote for anti-tanking is GM's have to rank the teams Assets worst to best and there's a lottery after that.

My third vote is for a modified Gold's Plan

Sis didn't do this at night, wear a mask, nothing. Just on her break at work.

It's literally a growth on his knee! If they were competitive would they have asked for him to try to play through the rest of the season + playoffs? Maybe? But there's no incentive for them not to just have him get healthy for the offseason *right now*

Or also, like, a third of the league right now?

I don't disagree that Will is bullshitting, but everyone is bullshitting and only the Jazz got fined for it

Jazz basically had this punishment until this season tbh

bittersweet. enjoy retirement goat (i am considering this retirement)

Please disregard the various betting scandals, one of the faces of league getting in bed with Kalshi, and LA finding new and interesting ways to circumvent the salary cap - Lauri Markannen’s fourth quarter minutes are the most pressing issue facing the NBA today

league is run by twitter heads

hmm i wonder why the wizards starters played less than 24 minutes against the pistons on the road and came out five minutes into the second half when they were up by 5

but they won they game though

your own damn fault if teams attempt to lose when they're incentivized to lose
