I really like the way Adam Silver approaches the attitude in All-Star games. If there could be a way to include a contribution to team success out of All Star game outcomes, it would even be much more competitive.

Man i reckon the All Star game is doomed, they should just do away with it, the last one was a travesty, completely unwatchable.
 
Nah, 2 words: Jerry West.


Jerry West joined the Warriors in May 2011, and they tanked that very season with Curry being out for the season, Klay playing to get minutes and in the 2012 draft they got bad enough to grab our pick and drafted Harrison Barnes. To me that was the point where the Warriors arrow started to point up.


Jerry West joined the Clippers recently as their 'consultant' (which really is just a code name for 'chief architect'). The Clippers immediately got rid of Chris Paul, and they've now lost 9 games in a row.


Coincidence? I think not. Jerry West knows the game, and he's playing it.

LOL .. want any more proof Jerry West is gutting the team and is tanking?


He'd just traded Blake to Detroit for draft picks and scraps.
 
what an idiot... how do u trade Blake Griffin for that.. LOL

SVG is now off the hook for getting no value from KCP... Jeez... Thats how to flip an offseason signing asset (Bradley)
 
Nice PR job by Woj... LOL.. "they are not interested in tanking" my ***.

You've just traded Blake Griffin AND are looking to trade DeAndre and Lou Williams then YOU ARE ALREADY TANKING.

Well one way to do it is to start wide by hitting some mid first round picks and once you got that value you just bottom out 2 seasons for high lottery talent while developing the promising youth and selling the fan base on the necessity to utilize that opportunity. I'm not saying it's a smart thing to do or the smartest thing to do, but for financial or ethical reasons Ballmer may just decide to tank differently than the OKC/76ers blueprint suggests. Other teams have tried to copy the full tank but suffered bad luck in the lottery and/or drafted badly when they couldn't select obvious stars (Magic, Kings, Hornets, Suns...)
 
RIP to Rasual Butler... Died in a car crash.. He had a glorious resurgence to the league, beating his way thru the d-league not too long ago..

His wife was with him and she also died. Sad
 
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm gonna watch the Detroit game today. Probably the first time in 10+ years ever since their Championship run.

D-E-T-R-O-I-T BASKETBALLLLLLLL
 
Despite that, a lot of excitement in the stadium, crowd oohing and ahhing everytime Blake touches the ball and do something with it.
 
IT in the playoffs last year. Hayward opening night. Love breaks his hand. Wall’s knee is messed up. Bookie tears his Achilles. Now Porzingis with an ACL. Absolutely brutal.
