Don't work for the NBA unless you hate money and free time. From what I've seen they chew people up and spit them out, most people tend to last 5 years max. Maybe that's different in an analytics department though.

That's pretty correct

If you make it that long you're probably still not making good money but you are probably in charge of something pretty important and can make an actual visible difference in the way your team looks or plays or does stuff and that feels pretty good of you're a sports fan to begin with.

Charlotte swapping their two best players for a player who resembles Kemba and junk is trade machine sloppiness. The one Simmons posted yesterday was even more crass but also more compelling to unpack:

Ho ho ho but seriously, which is worse there, both teams going the wrong way or the refs handing it to the wrong team for the inbounds and then missing the most blatant backcourt violation since game 4 of the NBA finals

Kyrie - Jimmy - Keith Bogans/whatever - Taj - KAT with Dieng, Teague, Crawford off the bench. That's a pretty good team and if KAT grows into an MVP candidate in 2 years its probably a contender.

I know it doesn't matter what Wiggins wants, but would Wiggins even want to go back to the Cavs? He usually turns his game up to 11 against them.

Probably split the rotations so that Teague and Kyrie are the only PGs through the game though.
