So insane how Nico got bailed out. Flagg in Dallas does make sense. Glad he’s out west, and it will be a great nba story. The nba continues to get excellent story lines that maintain interest in so many different areas. Utah, Washington and Charlotte continue to lose out and stay irrelevant. Parity is important but there’s always going to be teams that just don’t matter. The future of the league is in good hands with the continued relevance of the Knicks, Lakers, Celtics, Mavs and Spurs. Golden State will get their reboot at some point too. But until then they are still going strong.

I think the anti tanking rules are backfiring a little bit. NFL gets by with no lottery at all. It's not the end of the world for a team to a tank a year or 2. The horrible teams should get the best prospects.

I’ll say it for you, it’s fixed.

Im reluctant to say it definitively, but it sure looks that way. Between the embrace of gambling, to suspect trades, and drafts, dont like where the league is headed.

Might be rose colored glasses, but I think David Stern grew the league without making it look so shady.

Stern was horrible. He had a WWE model of promoting personalities particularly MJ rather than sound basketball. League grew despite him

I wasn’t a fan of his back then for some of the reasons you articulated, but it didn’t feel so rigged. Disagree about Stern’s role. He was a smart guy. Treated the Knicks like doo-doo. But I wouldn’t deny him his props for making the NBA global.

Nobody likes any pro league commissioner.
Stern was a first rate prick. But he got the job done and thats why the owners hired and kept him.
