    Will the breakdown of the NBA's relationship with China affect the salary cap for future years?

    What if Morey did it as punishment to Silver for blocking the Nene contract.

    Wow. You must be a real genius to come up with this conspiracy theory.

    Yes, he purposefully devalued his owners business a few hundred million (that's Darren Rovell's estimate) in order to make his owner become even further into the luxury tax in the future!!

    Good ole Nate Silver logic. Next he'll tell you who will win the next presidential election!!!!

    Jokes aside, I still like Silver (Nathan). Math is math.

    He is. He developed his genius while being schooled in a free country where your creative genius is not squashed for the government's glory. Instead his government built a platform for excellence to be able to shine through unopposed.

    That would be a hell of a chess move.

    My biggest concern is this makes Tilman even less likely to pay LT in the future.

    Actually this is the probably going to be the most significant outcome of this whole China fiasco -- reduced revenue leading to reduced salary cap going forward. JH and RW will combine to make $90 million in a few years. Add EG's and CC's contracts on top of that and we will be very close to the luxury tax threshold if not over it. If you think Tilman has been cheap before wait till he has to pay LT.
