You say the same old thing 100 times. Every team will be getting tv revenue and if you take 2 minutes to read the cba you have to spend the cash you get.Ny has no advantage if we look back at all of the luxuty taxes we paid how many wins did it produce?.

Briggs...please humor me..When was the last time a major FA signed with Utah, Sac, NO, Milwaukee, Philly, etc..Oh please all knowing one...School me..

We wish we were utah milwaukee new orleans right now. We have one major free agent in 15 years who played 1 good year for us what the he k r u talking about

And how many playoffs games have these teams been in the last 5 years..Zero..Their stars will get frustrated and want to leave because they can't improve.

Playoff games in the last 5 years:

Utah        - 14 Playoff games
Sacramento  - 0 Playoff games
New Orleans - 6 Playoff games
Milwaukee   - 11 Playoff games
Philly      - 18 Playoff games
Knicks      - 19 Playoff games

Philly is in better shape imo but they need someone to translate those assets into some real players to build on. The Knicks cant be in better shape when they dont have anything to actually build on yet.

Agree. The bolded is the big question for Philly.

are you assuming that they don't have such a person?

No one there has done this as of yet. Hinkie keeps resetting and reloading. Draft night should be interesting. They have 7 picks in this draft.

which reset are you referring to MCW?

We should learn how to make trades like that and sell very high instead of selling our players at the flea market.

That was a move that many GM's will be learning from for many years, it was brilliant and gutsy!

well maybe we can give ours away for everybody elses.

i still think we should have at least gotten a first for tyson. Hell denver got 2 for mosgov

We pride ourselves on selling low. Its how we roll.

1st round pick - 76ers (unless it falls outside of the lottery)
1st round pick - Heat (unless it falls in top 10)
1st round pick - Lakers (unless it falls in the top 5)
1st round pick - Thunder (unless it falls in top 18)
2nd round pick - Denver or Minnesota (whichever is the worse)
2nd round pick - Warriors
2nd round pick - Rockets
2nd round pick - Pelicans
2nd round pick - Magic

This is on top of Noel, Embiid and some of their other shveds.

Yeah ... we got those sixers right where we want them.
