    You need relegation but these rich f***s are too busy ripping off taxpayers to build stadiums to risk their investments.
    There is momentum to base lottery odds on the teams with most wins after "hidden/random" date - this maybe an elegant situation

    The dunk contest is the only event worth watching out if the entire weekend.
    The three point contest was okay today.

    Easy way to catch tanking. Injuries.

    have an independent doctor check the player. If the scratch is healthy. Million dollar fine. Loss of 1st round draft pick.

    this for the guys with the sore ankles.

    or when you’re sitting your star players for a whole 4th quarter.

    Silver knows what winning and trying to lose is.

    we watched the Lakers play all our stars in the 4th Quarter playoff game against the Timberwolves. Trying to win.

    then this season we watched the Jazz sit all of their star players in the 4th Quarter trying to lose.

    I like this idea. They should just make the date the last day of the trade deadline. Most teams start to tank hard around this time every season.

    That means absolutely nothing.
    That’s basically saying, “I’ll keep my eye on you in the future.”
    There are zero stated penalties. Until there are, he can just be paid off by any Franchise.
