Last season, the Warriors had 17 back-to-backs and one stretch of four games in five nights.

Next season, the Warriors will have 14 back-to-backs and no stretches of four games in five nights (the league eliminated these entirely).

looks like b2bs have been lessened and the no 4 in 5 thing is good.

glad the league is finally taking this seriously, maybe teams will wise up and let their players sleep instead of getting on planes after games

apparently they also kept all the big national games out of the back to back mix in order to give teams less of a reason to rest players

that was the easiest change and i was shocked at the number of big national games that had one team playing in minnesota or salt lake or wherever the day after.

NBA source said today: "This will be LeBron's final season in Cleveland. He is 100 percent leaving. Relationship with owners beyond repair."

lebron, hello

from what i can tell this comes down to ownership picking love over bron, griffin wanted to trade love so ownership fired him/he walked away alienating bron, then kyrie demanded a trade lmao

they have to ..........trade lebron

it would be so wonderful if they traded lebron

dubs shd offer dray lmfao

what would happen in an alternate universe where griffin stays, love gets traded, but kyrie still demands a trade

you gotta think if the cavs had moved love for george kyrie wldve felt better about the situation but if kyrie still wanted a trade, they wldve been in a tough spot, griffin prob wldve been game to make the move but its hard to get value for an allstar, on the other hand with bron and george in place they dont really need another elite scorer and moving kyrie for pieces maybe wld work out

damn, what an offseason

there's no way griffin would have entertained kyrie's trade demand if they had gotten PG

kyrie has no real leverage to be traded this offseason

would be so wild if the cavs start the season w out lebruh or kyrie

lets get this drama!

kyrie has no real leverage to be traded this offseason

true

lebron should see how much leverage he really has and try to squeeze out Gilbert. boycotttttt

"Sell to me or I'm burning it down"

when this is all over it is possible cleveland fans will hate dan gilbert more than art modell

he really is the perfect shithead a vain incompetent disingenuous backstabber

bron has some trump in him, dude can't help but make it about bron

hey now cmon

he's just bout that drama so much!!!

like now he has masterfully manipulated an entire season to be about where he will be the next season

bron is the best

its magcial

also, sorry marcos. lebron bringing a title to cleveland was the perfect gift though

yeah that was good

it was, how could I ever be mad at the man?

also I feel like he is going to own the cavs someday, after gilbert is exiled

this will be "fun"

we better get a new comic sans letter out of this

Spurs right there with cap space next year

like now he has masterfully manipulated an entire season to be about where he will be the next season

now im not saying this is justified but i think its like kinda justified this is my breakdown of brons psychology: he feels like he doesnt get enough respect as the goat or 2nd goat but he knows he cant just come out and say that so he flexes on the league with drama thereby proving his incredible power, he can disrupt the entire league just through being huffy and upset

yeah no it kinda owns don't get me wrong

anyways 100% cavs should trade bron for picks and prospects to like the suns or whatever but they will not

gilbert would do it!

i finally concede that the dubs have ruined the league now that the cavs are gonna get blown up

yeah a lot of this is prob just a reaction to the hopelessness of competing with the nuclear warriors

maybe the banana boat happens THIS YEAR. everyone to the rockets

ya thinking about it bron is prob trying to force a trade while maintaining plausible deniability, he cant really afford to be seen to be ditching cleveland again

dont think anyones gonna blame him on this one no matter how it turns out, besides the racists of course.

people love to hate on bron (especially racists) i think hed get significant blowback
