Yeah, that was my thought too. I do think the players actions were 100% genuine.

Has the conspiracy theory that this was all a ploy to draw attention to the WNBA been floated yet?

Bad Kinja

No they couldn’t, sadly. The Powers that be don’t care about these guys. Now if the Dallas Cowboys refused to play, we’d get somewhere.

Tell that to MJ

I think Wade assumed he’d get the Haslaam (sp?) deal and get paid a bunch at the back end as their championship aspirations wound down. Some even assumed he had a handshake deal with this contract and it would be quick. I think the salary cap jumping changed some of that.

This is the real question. SLC was good for so long with two guys who were OK being there. Besides maybe Curry if he got drafted there, I don’t see any of the top players wanting to stay in SLC, despite the rabid fan base. Ultimately I suspect it hinders OKC for a long long time, unless they draft amazingly well (and…

Zaza and Green don’t need to score (Green needs his 10-12 points, but he gets most of that organically). So you have 3 guys out there who need to score. I doubt Thompson’s utilization changes much (catch and shooting with Curry,Green, and Durant creating ), so it’s a matter of taking all of the shots Barnes got, some…

Basically it means everything in AN ENTIRE COUNTRY is worth 15% less than it was relative to the rest of the world. So yeah, Plummeted. You might be looking at your tiny amount of money spent and say, oh it’s nothing, but there’s this thing called economies of scale that says hi.

It’s got to be Gilbert right? The rest of the teams generally suck or lost in humiliating fashion in the NBA Finals because of his Hubris

This is good Kinja

Right? That sounds like a Deadspin investigation to me.

Part of it is that Curry can’t cut to the left. There are a couple of good articles floating around but he basically can’t push quick enough to cut off Lebron, so they can go over top every time and not have to worry about him driving to the rim for the classic 4-3 situation they thrive in. They now are a more…

I’m sure it will be filled with screen shots of how horrible the refs were and the fact the warriors are something like 2-5 in games Scott Foster has done.

Now I really want Hockey players to wear football helmets

well he did sire Steph Curry, so I mean he’s definitely partially responsible.

God I hate Lebron, but yeah he would have been BETTER in that era. He might have retired after 4 years because his feelings were hurt by Charles Oakley and MJ smack talk, but in between then, he would have been a force.

Isn’t the sports thing a possesive? I’m a Viking’s Fan

First time Lebron drives the lane Bogut is putting him on his ass. should be amusing to see what Lebron does in response.

I think you just earned a job at “The Ringer”
