Wheres the umlaut Woj

Whats the deal with Schröder? Those stories about how bad the Hawks hated Dwight talked about how he was even worse than Schröder, so how'd he get that rep?

Because a player-owned league would eventually turn into an owner-owned league or would horribly fall apart because the people running the league don't have the same insane connections that present day owners have. For instance if the Knicks players ran the Knicks, good luck leasing a spot at the Garden considering Dolan owns it. Good luck moving around town for a new location or getting a new one built because Kristaps Porzingis sure as gently caress doesn't know any contractors or politicians in NYC.

The owners are more or less free to lock the players out in perpetuity, because their friends at the networks choose to pay them their money despite not delivering their product, purposefully.

Maybe that will change in the future, but I would assume they're in ideological harmony in attempting to force wages down

Given the whinging and hand-wringing that's gone on the past 4 pages, that was a palate cleanser of a dunk. I thought the little dude would come down a broken husk from slamming the backboard, never to rise again...
