2017 NBA OFFSEASON

that is really the best ny fans have two teams and nowhere to go

realistically stern shd force dolan to sell hes almost as bad a person as sterling

fanbases should be able to vote out incompetent ownership

fair

if phil could get the type of return chad ford is proposing, then they could save face, but there's no chance phil is enough of a negotiator to swing a deal that works in the knicks' favor. this is the man who traded for derrick rose and signed joakim noah to a four year deal.

its funny cause drafting zinger was by far his best move

omg that noah deal...

having crap ownership is the worst thing for fandom. nothing you can do and you're locked in for a long time! If Cohan still owned the dubs we'd still be winning 35 games a year, guaranteed. the day he sold was a top 25 day in my life tbh.

yup

if lebron wasn't from here the cavs would be in the same boat as the browns

fanbases should be able to vote out incompetent ownership

it's true, he took heavy criticism for it too. i distinctly remember one of my coworkers the summer he was drafting shouting "HE'S GONNA GET DUNKED ON AND FAIL OUTTA THE NBA"

would throw you a vote xp

maintain the players shd just start their own collective league

Knicks have asked for Devin Booker and the #4 pick from Phoenix for Kristaps Porzingis - Ha Ha Ha. He is good but trust me not that good

zinger-booker straight up is interesting but yeah

would trust the career arch of booker more than zinger but zingers ceiling could be higher

having a very public bidding war for yr best player when youre not going to actually trade him cause youre asking too much seems not that smart

the knicks haven't had a team since 2000

fire phil jackson, preferably into the sun

phil jackson is such a fraud imo

a lot of coaches would have won championships with jordan/pippen or kobe/shaq

even bad ones

i would trade a lot to get porzingis including devin booker & the #4 pick

i would offer like booker and bender or something tho since the suns would need to offload their young bigs anyway

lakers 100% gonna panic trade for PG http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19689275/indiana-pacers-los-angeles-lakers-talking-trade-paul-george

smh

that's my initials

phil jackson is such a fraud imo

actually i think jackson was good for both teams but i think it's pretty clear that his worst quality is handling players, either clashing personalities or just managing drama in a way that makes it disappear. i mean the bulls' evaporation after their second threepeat is usually pinned on jerry krause wanting to remake the team in his own image but i think jackson's stoned blissful routine was the wrong one in a lot of ways at that exact time. not saying the bulls were liable to continue to win titles every year but there was no reason for them to turn into the worst team in the league for half a decade. i think a stronger coach who was better at handling issues in house would have perhaps kept that team together, i think a lot of what happened is on him. and the way he handled kobe and shaq, i mean imagine how Pop would have dealt with that. this is obviously ridiculous to think in a lot of ways about a guy who won 11 titles...but i think there were drawbacks to Jax that were always very obvious, but winning with 3 top 20 all-time players (and Kobe) plasters over a lot of holes in that resume.

yeah are people under the impression this deal is bad for...the suns??

xp yeah i just see his awful GM tenure and his insistence on running an outdated offense and it makes me question how much he really knew about basketball in the first place

is matt still defending phil or did he give up last year i forget

https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/the-plot-to-disrupt-the-ncaa-with-a-pay-for-play-hbcu-basketball-league

sure go for it

the main obstacle to something like that working is the ncaa will just start paying players the minute their business is threatened

win win

good, fuck the ncaa

yeah just seems like itd be hard to get the ball rolling since a new league wld require investment and whos going to invest if the ncaa will just counter by paying players

perhaps amazon netflix et al

yeah i could see some non-broadcast outlet with $$$ try to get in on live sports

now that i think about it another flaw in the plan is a huge part of the popularity of college athletics is peoples emotional/cultural ties to individual schools, the actual sports product isnt that great, if u take the schools away a lot of people wont watch, like no one wants to watch minor league baseball

basically

that is an issue, seems like the idea would have to be opening up new audiences and letting the ohio states and louisvilles of the world soldier on with lesser talent.

fact check college football as a sport is often better to watch then NFL

fact check: american football is immoral

way more innovation happening at that level and unique talents given the opportunity to thrive outside of the NFL dogma

college basketball no real reason to watch that over the NBA unless you have an attachment to a team

m bise otm

college basketball is also the most unpredictable sport around. no lead is safe, the tournament is super dramatic and surprising
