Silver should work for our administration, he ticks all the boxes.

its because they’re going to make a decision based on what the trade is lol

oh, you’re moving Terry to make money work in a Giannis trade? sure thing pal

vs.

oh, you’re just trying to get off the contract? sorry, won’t generate enough engagement so we will say no, which will in turn generate outrage (engagement) while also forcing you to come back with a more dramatic trade

“What if - and believe me this is hypothetical - but what if you were offered some kind of a future draft picks program. Would that do anything for you?” - Pat Riley, probably

Clearing him isn’t embarrassing as they didn’t have the information or investigative powers of the FBI. What’s embarrassing is how they’ve handled this after he was indicted.

They should atleast grant Miami do a special buyout wherein whatever the amount Terry leaves on the table should be subtracted from their cap.

Because silver is a corrupt fraud

Wants to pretend Rozier doesn’t exist. Gambling isn’t a problem and anyone who thinks so is schizophrenic. There has never been a problem with gambling ever. There’s nobody named Terry Rozier.

The league knows they messed up and is hoping we’ll just let him expire, and never bring him up again.

Not low-key man lol. The flagg to dallas was as corrupt as it gets

Always has been. I’m certain there were other refs implicated in the donoghy case but it was cleaner for the NBA to pin it on one guy and act like it was just him, and that was before gambling became open season for sports leagues. We’ve already seen multiple players cheating games, wouldn’t be hard for some refs to do the same.

Either way I’ll never trust the NBA’s “investigations”

Hard to say. Giannis surrounded by shooters in herro and Powell seems like a better setup but giannis would have to cover alot of the defence workload again. Bam and giannis would be amazing on defence but rough on the other end. Honestly feel miami should just keep developing the young core and see where they go this year. Can’t see anyone beating okc anyway besides maybe houston or denver

Giannis takes Bam tile and is the superstar doing it but Bam is loved by the fans so you won’t convince the majority that Bam is the right choice.

Think Bam and Giannis work since Bam just slides to the 5 again. Bam been slinging 3s this season with confidence. Maybe not perfect but we got Spo and given what he did with Jimmy give me the talent and figure it out.

Idk why we entertain it when we will have to give up so much in a trade. Giannis is a star obviously but no way we beat okc, Denver or houston if we were to somehow come out of the east. Maybe im way off though

Purely for salary balancing purposes.

Giant expirings don’t move that often. \(26m can get someone off bad money or make a \)40m+ deal more movable.

You think the sixers front office would say no to an embiid for Rozier + filler deal?

lol

Because 26m of expiring money is extremely valuable?

Right now the Knicks can’t aggregate salaries in trades because of the aprons. If they shed 26m they’d be able to.

Plus the tax. Every year you stay in the tax, the tax gets incrementally more expensive. You badly want to be out of the tax if you’re rebuilding, theyre usually the first customers for an expiring salary dump
