You can say whatever you want...as long as it fits 500000 rules and does not hinder money flow :lol:

China's population along with fact that their economy is booming makes them biggest market in the world.
NBA wants to be PC as long as money comes

They said they are not considering firing morey, but just by saying that for me it's insane just to even think about it

Hypocrits everywhere
It's all about fuc**** money . Disgusting.

Somebody from the Ringer was saying that his job was in jeopardy. It was a lie, typical from the media trying to create more drama. The Rockets had to respond.

SOUL wrote:And pepe, careful with that discussion since it's kind of politically charged, there's the Current Affairs forum for a reason. But I'm just going to say that "white males being criticized/hated" is a strange comment, and maybe the least of anybody's worries for a country with a lot of current issues. Considering we also are a country that has been maybe been the most prosperous economically in the history of the world for white males, and knowing the history of the U.S. with Native genocide & slavery until the 1860s, this seems very tame in comparison.

And-1 SOUL.

This is capitalism. The economic structure of a state permeates every aspect of society. Money is god.

I wouldn't really have a problem with the NBA or an organization publicly disavowing commentary from an employee. What I take issue with, however, is in using pressure to force an employee to rescind comments or apologize for making use of their freedom to express their personal beliefs.

Herro looks legit. Would have looked good on this team. Miami is going to be an improved team this year

That's just incredible a guy of his talent hasn't made a 3 until now. I mean even Elf who we all knocked for his lack of shooting made some 3s once in a while lol.

Ben never even attemped them, witch is probably even worst. last year he had 6 three point attemps and i belive almost all of them were half court shots at the end of quaters

Yeah that's what's most baffling not even attempting 3s. Look at Fultz he has every reason to not attempt 3s at this point and he's taken some already.

Orlando's contract situation is well placed to respond to a 10% cap cut.

The team has a natural 11% reduction in salary coming. Either Fournier gets outright un-signed or will be forced in to a MLE shaped deal. Augustin would not be resigned at all. This move and non-move means the roster would not change, and be at a 7% reduction. Signing Okeke leaves the team at a 4% reduction. So: over the cap, but not by enough to become a lux-hit team.

he is still young enough and developing that even if he isnt a good outside shooter right now(and probably isnt that great) he has time to improve it

Lol those were all easy layups with close to non existent defense , against the crappy C Bulls team

I'm not hating but I'm really not impressed by this guy , good interior defense and he's done , and I'm questioning myself about his longevity. Can't puch too much emphasiz on physicality .
