I’m pumped 12 of the Mavs’ post ASG game will be OTA. Wish they all could be.

Here's how to fix the ASG: make three lineups on each side. East five guys play against West five guys for six minutes. Then a full shift change, and repeat. Now you have a double-elimination mini tournament within the main game. The five who wins the last six minutes gets paid out. Edit: you'd have to make the mini-games four minutes each to get all three lineups fit into a double-elimination, I guess

Strawberry Panda posted:The NFL replaced it's all star game with a children's game and the commentators all shill it as being a brilliant idea. Imagine the NBA commentators getting that assignment. TBF, Booger Macfarland openly talking about Aaron Rogers and ayahuasca on the broadcast, and the ensuing chaos that resulted, was comedy gold.

Fixing the NBA all star game is simple imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9JVVQTPymw With LED floors they could even move the hot spots around like per possession

Really Good Deal for a guy whose game seems likely to age well and is a pretty important piece for them on and off the court, espec with their salary crunch

$10m/year for a stable point guard? Seems like a pretty solid deal, and a tradable number should the need arise.

We've stagnated as a culture to where the dunk contest is just seeing the biggest thing/person you can jump over.

What a legendary glue guy. The Jazz went from playoff scrappy doo contender to lottery team when he left.

I'm refining this idea: First six minutes - East 3 vs West 3 Second six minutes - East 1 vs West 2 Third six minutes - East 2 vs West 1 Fourth six minutes - loser bracket, two lowest remaining seeds Fifth six minutes - winner bracket, two highest undefeated seeds Sixth six minutes - loser bracket, lowest remaining seeds Seventh six minutes - winner bracket, two lowest remaining seeds Eighth six minutes - last two teams alive

Cool! I think he's going to age really quickly at some point but he's been really good this season so tying him up for rotation-player money is a good deal. If he has to play that 2nd year as a backup that's still not bad at all.

Wolves are almost certainly going to have to trade one of Gobert, KAT or McDaniels in the summer. Their off-season is going to be fascinating.

Going into the tax for a season or two isn't a problem if you're near the top of your conference. New owners have actively said they have no problem doing so for a winning team.

Lockback posted:Why? I am not a CBA expert but even with their current situation I'd assume you can still keep a full roster without doing anything big. They've got 8 under contract plus some two ways, a few filler guys they could resign for cheap (maybe even SloMo even though he's fallen off), and this is also the year the Wolves have a first rounder and 2 seconds. They've got a window before they need to make any tough decisions, and given their regular season play you could call them contenders - which is presumably what the new owners would dip into the tax for. Personally, I just hope that the fanbase just gets a little juice, though I understand not being enthused to visit the Target Center lol

They can keep everybody, including Slo-mo but I suspect they don't. I think they'll try to stay under the 2nd apron which I think they can do even if they extend Monte Morris. But it''ll mean no Anderson (unless he stays for real cheap) and basically minimum or minimum-ish guys. After next year it gets a lot harder but one step at a time.

I've been to the Target Center a few times since the renovation and didn't have any issues. Honestly I haven't been since the renovations except for a prospective season ticket holder walkthrough with my brother who still lived in Minneapolis at the time. I never minded the old building and the new one looked fine, but when I talk to folks back home they still whine about the venue. It probably does feel a little wanting compared to the Twins or Vikings venues, but it could also just be Minnesota fans being terrible as usual. I much prefer it to my current venue options of "high school gym" and a multipurpose hockey + basketball arena that has bad sightlines and weird seating plans (though I get to see Jared Sullinger and Daryl Macon light it up)
