By jjasper Go To PostSounds like it would be a Sunday night basketball block once the football season ended. Reading the article it appears lord silver is trying to get less games on cable and more on OTA/streaming in the new contract.It's the smart play with cable subscribers continuing to decline. The teams that are getting off of RSNs and going back to local TV are going to be big winners, too. You can't grow the game by telling people they need expensive cable packages to watch the product.

These "you have to pay somebody" contracts going to have borderline All Stars eating for years.
Really, Ime needs a handful of guys who are ready to buy in on a serious business culture shift day one, having at least one vet with playoff experience and a contract so big you know he's playing 40min a night goes a long way. It was either gonna be FVV or Harden or CP3.
By reilo Go To PostI think a large chunk of people would bite the bullet to do it… if those cable providers were available in their area within the state, which they're not.Yeah, access to cable/broadband is still a problem for a lot of people in the country. They might be able to open themselves up for more subscribers to things like League Pass, though, if they got rid of local blackouts. Baseball is kinda breaking that down right now by letting people in San Diego stream Padres games with the demise of the San Diego RSN, but I'll be curious to see if there's a real appetite for that.

It's still a barrier of entry but you can watch it on a much broader device list without regional restrictions.
I'm hoping that model actually works in addition to providing OTA / local broadcasts.
By masud Go To PostMasai is washedEating good off a single good trade
By reilo Go To Post
I’m fine with this. Can still get additional players too outside of just giving everything to Fat Harden
By Sharp Go To PostIt's only for two years… this probably means they don't see Amen as being ready to contribute yet as a starting PG, though, I doubt they're paying FVV the max to come off the bench. Kinda wondering how that roster is going to work.
The number one goal this off-season was to get a PG and get off of KPJ. Has to happen.
I swear Bill Simmons is trolling every time he suggests a trade for the Knicks. Forget McDermott even if they straight salary dumped Fournier they would still be over the cap. Having his expiring contract on the roster gives the Knicks far more flexibility to "do a bunch of shit". And we're giving up a pick? Come on man...
By Kibner Go To PostSome rumors about Grizzlies trying to land KAT. Don't know for what.It would be good for KAT he could just stand and shoot threes and never have to pretend to defend.
First I have heard of this. I googled it and saw
KAT for Adams, Kennard, Clarke and a 1st. I’d do that but surely that would be impossible
By masud Go To PostWemby has Duncan, Robinson, Elliot, Ginobli

smooth brain moron: Fournier is French. Wemby is French. He can be his mentor

Adams next to Gobert, or splitting minutes with Naz Reid? Would have to be a 3rd team involved for that to make sense.
By RATHasReturned Go To Post20 milThat's like 1/7th of the cap for a solid starter. It's cheap.

I did see that. Fair enough.
By RAThasReturned Go To PostI did see that. Fair enough.The MLE is like 15M now, so prepare to see a lot of deals for non-stars that are in the 20-30M range. Or even more!
By masud Go To PostVucs contract is fine. But if this is signaling that Chicago is running it back? Man…If they are willing to spend into the tax, they can make some moves and be better. If they don't, then this should have been a S&T.
By reilo Go To PostNOLA, Memphis, and Minnesota are going to be so fucked by this next season. Lol
yo wtf
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostCJ a lame duck president.Players can smoke weed without worry now and there should be fewer in-season trades. Players love that, at least.

He got some beads for Manhattan, this new CBA sounds terrible.

Scrub shit

but then fans are quick to turn on a player for not being loyal
imagine you potentially lost your job and only found out cuz a family member saw it on their twitter feed

The only way this makes sense is if they're bringing in Seattle and/or Vegas very shortly and realigning conferences. Otherwise it's stupid AF.

Pacers apparently offering 48/3 years.
Not sure why would you sign him, unless you're ready to move from Hield.
By Adam Go To PostNot enough blowing up for meWhy do you want to blow it up this year, did you even see the Zachary Risacher video
Clips convinced themselves they were a few cagey vets away from a deep playoff run, when really they need a supernova from several of their role-players every year due to Kawhi or George inevitably getting hurt.
At least Reggie got his ring.

By Adam Go To PostNot enough blowing up for mePG to the Knicks for "stuff" is coming don't worry!
every time i get on my computer i see some rumor about it. im tired of it already. who keeps acting like these players who never play are worth trading for
i'd trade jacob toppin for Kawhi or PG,. the other guys on our team can actually be depended on to play 5 minutes if we need them to
