It does suck, hopefully he can fire BJ Armstrong and get his health back. Even though Morey is just the unfeeling slave of a higher machine intelligence, I don't think they would gently caress around with matching just to turn him down if there weren't some serious back issues.

Time posted:I had the pleasure of meeting Craig Sager once. There was a group of us wounded army guys who would hang around all day at the basketball court while we were rehabbing at Walter Reed. It was basically all we had to pass the time. We would bullshit, then play a game. Bitch about our injuries, then play a game. It was the only time we ever felt like things were back to normal. Ok after reading this I realized there was something in my eye, excuse me fellas chunkles posted:It does suck, hopefully he can fire BJ Armstrong and get his health back.

They've got some good on court chemistry too. RIP to Craig Sager. Pop and KG's words on his death were touching. Lot of color left the world today. Are you okay 2016???

Looks like players currently on rookie contracts will also be getting a raise:quote:While the rookie scale is shooting up by 45 percent next season, it leads to an obvious question: What about players currently on rookie scale deals who, because of when they came into the league, missed out on the scale’s dramatic increase? The league and union agreed to build in some increases to the current salaries to lessen the difference — though these increases will not be part of the salary cap figures for these players, which will remain as they already were. Some other good nitpicky details from Tim Bontemps here morestuff fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Dec 16, 2016 |

I like Pop more every time I hear from the guy. Great coach, great guy. I also agree that the NBA is the most humanist league of the bunch. As a Canadian I love hockey but it disgusts me that Gary Bettman hopped on the CTE denial train alongside Goodell. Out of curiousity, did the NBA do anything in terms of mental health policy after the Royce White situation? El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:What exactly did the players concede in these negotiations? All of those raises don't mean any actual new money. The BRI split is still 50/50. The owners as a whole are spending the exact same amount of money whether rookies are given a penny or their contracts are tripled. These aren't concessions by the league, this is just cutting up the exact same pie in a different way. The only thing that might be outside that is the new retirement benefits, but I haven't seen where that funding is coming from.

I believe retirement and health expenses are coming out of the players share of BRI. Have we heard anything about resolving some of the issues around how BRI was calculated? I recall hear a lot of stuff about the Knicks and deals between related parties.

Related parties and how luxury boxes are counted. Right now they are not counted at all (reason being a significant portion of the cost of a box goes back into amenities, meaning it is reasonable to calculate that differently, but today they are not counted at all). Sounds like players are getting a little bit more (signage and Arena deal money) but other things aren't listed. Probably only able to get a few changes done at a time to avoid a stoppage.

Whoever scored more points in a game is better. Wilt is #1 and Kobe is #2 all time. It's that simple.
