Compare ticket prices from 13 years ago. The average went from $49 to $89. That is just the average. Some seats have tripled for both the NBA and NHL.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

Welp. Prepare for the worst case scenario, guys. We're not getting anybody.

Edit:

MTV beat me to it.

Well well well. That should be a fun team and if Durant can make it back on the 9 month time table, he possibly could get 5-10 games in during the regular season and use the 1st round as a warm up as well.

Well, that's the most positive spin for the Nets.

Also cool to see the Nets get out of the doldrums.

I din't really want Durant after the injury

I'd rather build something more long term

I'm just praying Kawhi stays in Toronto at this point, but we all know he's going to the Lakers. Nothing else has gone our way all offseason, why would this?

If the Warriors are giving Klay the max, he should be a domino that is falling pretty soon right?

I'm just glad to have the league back.

The Warriors had it by the balls for 3 seasons with Durant making the biggest bitch move ever.

If Kawhi goes to the Lakers, it's going to be several more years of boring predictability and an unmitigated disaster for our franchise. So no, we won't "have the league back."

Lettuce pray:

1. Kawhi to us.
2. Kawhi anywhere but to the Lakers.

Not even getting Horford. Damn, we're pathetic. This is going to end up like that offseason where we went from meeting with LeBron to signing Ryan Gomes and Randy Foye as our big free agency splash.

I'm glad, I'll take a hard pass on Durant. Our FO has been eerily quiet.. They're definitely targeting some specific moves. And as always they keep everything on a lid.

They've been "quiet" because nobody's coming here, so there's nothing to discuss. Let's be real now.

How about signing Butler (Max) and Horford (with what we have left), and then sign and trade Gallo/JRob for Kawhi. Gallo and JRob make enough together to trade under the CBA for Kawhi’s max after we use up our cap space. Even though Butler and Horford are getting older, that would be an insane defensive team!

Aminu to the Magic for less than $10M a year (MLE) hurts, I really wanted him and that’s a bargain contract

Redick to the Pellies.

Now coaching doesn't make rookies, but JJ's tutelage sure does. :roll:

Zion Zion to the top.
Zion Zion, he won't stop.
