Yup, we totally betrayed him with that $160 million contract that no one else was willing to give him.
Lol at the NBPA thing. He's a NBPA rep when it suits him in getting a max, but I wouldn't be surprised if he took a sizable paycut to go to the...
How would a buyout from OKC work?
Nah, I don't see these as large revenue streams. If anything, this is nickeling and diming your audience, which may further drive down interest in...
I think the nba cares more about games being watched than discussed online. People (including myself) can discuss the league all day but never...
We will see if the NBA will keep their cut. It’s far from a foregone conclusion. Industries have been built and destroyed by new technology. While...
I would like to see data for money from China/Europe. I may be wrong but my impression was that NBA revenue is largely domestic.
I certainly agree that streaming is the growing trend, but this data doesn't prove anything about live sporting events on national broadcasts. The...

Vitriol? No vitriol here. Just an eye roll. But whatever.
What? Except delaying choice in schools garners me no attention. If l had cable networks, bloggers, celebrities talking about me 24/7, then...
Or he’s attention seeking. It doesn’t matter to me either way and it’s impossible to prove since neither you or I am kahwi Leonard. However, given...
So the nba has rules and regulations, yet literally every single other free agent including other superstars have made their decision way before...
Quiet doesn’t mean doesn’t want attention. One can be attention seeking and socially awkward/quiet at the same time.
Dude wants attention. I don’t believe for a second that he’s actually debating the positives and negatives of each team. He knows where he’s...
