Hashtag Banterzone posted:If only more NBA players were smart enough to put a personal trainer in charge of their branding and marketing I mean, he's done a preeeetttty good job of that so far my dude. Acting a fool may not be the most aesthetically pleasing way to promote a brand. But it works. And he got his logo and brand in front of a national TV audience on one of the most watched live TV shows by the demo he's targeting. zoux posted:If you were betting money, would you bet for or against Big Baller Brand blowing up I dunno, it depends on how much you believe in the 3 sons ability to be NBA players. If one out of the 3 of them becomes a legit star then for sure it blows up and pays off. But I guess if I were forced to bet, i would probably bet against because becoming a legit bonafide star in the NBA is rare and very very hard. Though easier in LA if you are remotely good.

Dexo posted:"Huge" Yeah I assumed Ball would have to hit certain metrics to hit the bulk of that money and I also assume that Ball has to grind long enough to obtain his own Nike shoe and unlock his big money. It took years for PG to earn that.

Check the ratings and demo for the WWE, and it's almost as liberal leaning as the NBA.(laughably less likely to vote tho) R.D.

That and Lavar's connections to make and deliver the shoes are not going to come anywhere near to Jordan or Lebron's. He may know he only has so any he can deliver in total or he might be taking a hit on logistics in general and wanting to push that price up. If your supply pipeline is poo poo, one way to mitigate that is offering a high-margin, low-volume product.

I'm sort of hopeful MCW could be OK as a backup surrounded by shooters but mostly he's the only non-Shaun Livingston big point guard on the market as far as I can tell

Metapod posted:There is no benefit for having a bad player on your team just because they fit the build you seek Sure, but on the other hand fit can make a huge difference, especially for young guys. It doesn't really surprise me he looked terrible on the 23rd, 30th and 28th-worst shooting teams in their respective seasons. Charlotte's going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel anyway, or trying to skate by with a Monk/Lamb/Batum backcourt. You're not really playing a winning game when you're picking between MCW + Beno, Mack, Greivis etc. Metapod posted:Like if charlotte wants to take a shot at a big pg take a shot on tyreke evans at least he's had some good games pop up from time to time I sort of assume he's going to get more than they can offer but with the cap not growing as fast as expected + more teams capped out I have no idea what the market is going to be like this year

Tyreke is perpetually hurt and always has some kind of nagging injury. I guess being a really big, bulky guy who plays a herky-jerky style is hard on your body

I thought so at first, but then saying "trying to skate by with a Monk/Lamb/Batum backcourt" made it sound to me as if he'd just forgotten about him. Either way MCW is bad and teams shouldn't sign him.

Hell, the NBA Awards were on last night and all people were talking about was Lavar taking his shirt off on Monday Night Raw and the youngest Ball son imploring Lavar and Dean Ambrose to beat the Miz's rear end.
