This is something the NBA would never do and I get most of you are mad because he singled out The Timberwolve's but in theory LeBron's right. You get rid of say 6 team's and basically this would push about 90 players(the worst player,mostly bench warmers) out of the league and making a stronger 1 through 15 roster for the rest of the teams in the league.
There is always gonna be a team at the bottom of the standings but with more talent on each team the average game would at least be more entertaining if not competitive too.

Would you be surprised to learn that Minneapolis market is only 29% smaller than Boston's?

Re: Lebron James discusses Wolves contraction
You know, if you contracted 28 of the teams you would have some AMAZING basketball.
You could call one team the East team, and the other team the West team. And there wouldn't be much emphasis on playing defense, so you know, we could so a lot of cool dunks and stuff.
Just imagine what that would be like.

thats exactly what I've been saying, its a GREAT idea. I was thinking just LA, NY, Chi and Boston, but you're onto a better idea I think.
Actually the best would be to contract all but one team...THOSE SCRIMMAGES WOULD BE THE INTENSEST SCRIMMAGES EVER

Ah screw it, just have an annual 1 on 1 game with Kobe and LeBron. No one else is worthy.

We have a best player? We might have players better than Love, but certainly none that have proven it...
As far as LeFool goes, there has to be a way for the NBA to be held accountable for it's products.

I think by definition you have to have a best player, and no we don't have anyone better than Love.
