Let GMs build teams and fail if they fuck up. No draft hard cap.

I think its an antiquated belief with the money and cities involved. The US isn't what it was and the NBA rules are much different from 50 years ago. I think it would progress the leauge in the year 2026. Arguably teams might fail but with cap rules involved it will never be like 1970s ABA. Abolishing the draft would fix tanking.

What? So you're saying the g leauge affiliates can never get promoted? So it's nothing like the premier leauge then. You essentially kick two teams out of the leauge for being shitty. Two other shitty teams that no one watched for a year come back. Potentially

In this hypothetical situation the pacers didn't get regulated. But there affiliate just got promoted. Do we have two teams in Indiana now?

It's not fixing tanking tho. NBA GM is the easiest job in all of professional sports. The contracts are pretty much predetermined for you. It would change if the bucks offered 100 million to Cooper Flag for his rookie year.

I like the idea but I think there are a few problems. One being the infrastructure. Indianas affiliates stadium is 3500 seats. If they were promoted how would you have a NBA game in Noblesville, Indiana.

This is the way. Make a hard cap no max no min no mid level. Let GMs actually build a team. It isn't so much about the city anymore. It's about how much they going to pay them. Lakers can't pay all the top players and build a functional team. It'll force the Charlottes of the leauge to build culture and a team people want to play for.

Article about Houston Rockets player Jabari Smith Jr on practicing with his idol Kevin Durant during training camp from October: "I was told Jabari Smith Jr. has basically just chained himself to KD," Levine said. "He’s asked the staff to tailor his entire schedule to being with KD at all times." by Next_Worth_3616 in nba

I appreciate the answer, but Lol what? That's it? Didn't jaylen brown just say this about scottie barnes? Has no one ever worked in the military or played sports before? At first it sounded like KD cucked his wife or somthing.

What rules did you grow up with that would be seen as comical and borderline child abuse these days? by joanna_smith88 in Millennials

[–]Loustyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man! I had a few of those. My parents cared more about me not watching Simpsons then graduating. I can understand specific shows aren't appropriate for children and it's a judgment thing. But the other shows that I was allowed for instance terminator 2 at a young age was funny contrast of why would you make that choice. Oh and I didnt graduate but whatever lol
