Between the fine, sexual harassment scandal, and losing a ton it is tough times in Dallas.
 
How much y'all want to bet Cuban is already dreaming up a competitor to the NBA You know he has contemplated it the entrepreneur he is - he's going to team up with the Ball family and start the Big Baller World League, 4 point line and all. $600,000 is quite an incentive, they may be messing with the wrong man

On a more serious note, maybe that $600k number is just for show and they've planned from the beginning to settle for much less

They've still got a top 5 dance squad in the NBA though, and IMO still the best broadcasting camera angle in the NBA...

But where would they get the players from? The G-League and undrafted players? Dunno who's gonna watch that...
 
Don't know, but if they excluded pot from the banned substances list I'd imagine they'd garner a few good players. There aren't that many slots for NBA players, leaves quite a good talent pool out there actually.

Lower ticket prices, get some billionaire behind it. I do honestly believe over the next 50 years basketball will gain favor over football in the USA, for a few reasons. The NFL has entire awesome plays undone do to a little holding penalty away from the ball, catches called incomplete, soooo much downtime and commercials

Some of the most exciting plays, kickoff returns, are being discouraged with rule changes due to player safety concerns

An idea to make it work, make it a public company this new basketball league, that way any joe could own shares in his team and reap dividends - that be an awesome idea, you could say own shares in the Jazz and if they win the championship you get a bonus dividend that be amazing, if you had a tiny ownership in it wouldn't you switch??

600k would look like a slap on the wrist compared to the millions he would lose investing in another league.
 
How in the royal hell Tristan Thompson is getting 80 million dollars beggars belief

and the Cavs defense is sooo bad No way they're contending
 
imagine if they actually were coached and ran any kind of system to get open shots. even when it's not lebron it's nearly always one on one stuff

I wonder if Rodney is enjoying getting to do even less than he was before

They looked like a rabble. Boston will flog them, think it will be the Raptors and Celts in the East.

Man, a couple of doozies tonight with OKC vs HOU and then Clippers vs NOR both fighting for the playoffs.

Based on how this has been going for us OKC wins and LAC and NO tie after 6 overtime’s and the league gives them both a win. Also... Denver Dallas but we know how that ends.
