“Hey let’s take 2 minute drills, literally the only thing we’re better at than basketball, and turn them into NBA style endless fucking foul review slogs”

He’s completely right, it’s gambling and minors shouldn’t be allowed to do it. I don’t necessarily think loot boxes should be illegal, but their presence should automatically make a game rated MA.

Amazon’s core business has always been profitable, the company as a whole didn’t turn a profit because management decided to invest revenue back into the company to fund further growth. Investors agreed with the strategy because the company had a reasonable plan for a return on that invested revenue, and everybody is…

It would be cool if the very platform on which you published this post had RSS feeds for every writer. I’d love to read e.g. Aaron Gordon’s transit posts without having to slog through every car post on Jalopnik.

OK so first, nobody is talking about turning every American suburb into New York City but that’s not the main thing. In real life, even New York City isn’t the “New York City” of your fever dreams. I live in Manhattan, and like the overwhelming majority of people here I live in a 4 story building with like 10 people…

Wiggins might be the only guy on a max deal that wouldn’t be signed for the veteran minimum as a free agent right now. 

The salary cap keeps labor costs down relative to a free market for basketball players, not the market for inner-city kindergarten teachers (even if we all agree that teachers are underpaid and much more deserving of the millions than ball players).

This is just as true for the Spurs and Rockets or the Packers and Vikings, and I doubt it’s because of the immense spending power of the Green Bay market.

Maybe not, but they’re still out their performing the actual labor. There’s money being made and if the players who go out there and earn it don’t get it, it’s not like the benevolent owners will donate it to the community. Hell, they’re more likely to spend it on a campaign to fleece a new stadium out of the…

Yes this is why NBA ratings are in the tank and there’s no more soccer in Europe.

It’s more useful to think in terms of the organization’s competence than the size of the market. San Antonio, Green Bay, and Kansas City are all small markets (none of them are even top 30) and they don’t have trouble competing because they’re not owned by Dan Gilbert or James Dolan.

The salary cap does not, and was never designed to promote parity. It was designed to keep labor costs down, full stop. The draft is what keeps any semblance of parity going.

And that also would have been *his decision*.

The national average? I’ll eat my hat if anyone in the room besides the waiters makes less than six figures!

For what it’s worth, I would love to read your thoughts on why the AAA market is unsustainable.
