If we're posting hypothetical rule changes, I want the NBA (and all sports tbf) to move to on-the-fly hockey-style substitutions

Lol, what is this? Myers will win Executive of the Year again if the dubs win it all.

He turned Ian Clark into Young, Matt Barnes into Omri Caspi and McAdoo into Jordan Bell. That's three great upgrades to the bench.

It was nice of the computer to give the Warriors the first 3 months of the season without playing more than 5 teams with a winning record.

For what it's worth, people said the same thing about him playing with Harden, and while they weren't exactly wrong, their bad defense wasn't enough to stop the Rockets from shooting up to the 3rd seed on the strength of their offense. I think something similar would happen with the Blazers, they'd definitely lose some games on their bad defense, but they'd also regularly blow teams out of the arena with the incredible shooting a Lillard/McCollum/Crabbe/Anderson/Nurkic lineup would have. At the very least, I think it would move them from the scrum of teams fighting for 7-8 seeds to a comfortable place in the middle of the Western Conference seeds.

After 10,000,0000,000000,00,00,,,000 paragraphs of reading about it, I'm convinced it was an okay play call to throw it. The real mistake was throwing an interception.
