China is backing Silver into the corner. This is his chance to defend his league and stop kowtowing to the Chinazis.
Guilt for what? He hasn't done anything to be guilty about. I doubt Morey saw a storm of this magnitude coming, but I would be shocked if he actually feels differently about his sentiments.
I'm starting to like Silver a little more. There are some things more important than money. We need to stop bowing down to the MAN even when they run a country with 1.6 billion people.
Then NBA will become the no. 13th major sport in the US market. NFL MLB NCAAF NCAAB NHL MLS White Man sports like cars running in a circle. Women Soccer Hot Dog eating contest Fat guy throwing darts and bags to a hole XFL XXFL NBA.
Had this thought too. There is simply no way in my mind that Morey comes out of this with just a slap on the wrist after costing a lot of people millions of dollars. Just no possible way.
That'd be a sight to see. "breaking news, President Morey has traded Rhode Island, rights to Puerto Rico and Home Depot for western China."
I don't know if "guilt" is the right word but I could see him resigning because he doesn't want to be a distraction.
