Fisher is doing the ethically clean thing to try to get rid of Hunter's brood, but it really looks like he's doing it in the wrong way. The fact...
At least we have '94 and '95. I remember Game 5 in '95 at Utah. There were so many Jazz signs saying "It's our year." Haha.
The NBA would never base it's lottery on a system handled by Vegas. First there's the image problem. Second, it would have all the drawbacks of...
They changed it because Orlando won twice, which people felt was somehow not right. Instead of changing the system, perhaps the league should have...
The idea is interesting in principle, but in practice a system based on overachieving will likely be easy to game because of the difficulty in...
Melo's game is identical in almost every way to Dominique Wilkins, the best scorer in the 80's other than MJ. Great volume scorer, ultra athletic,...
You're taking a semantic position. Of course the Spurs shouldn't get the #1 pick. This was a sensible thread related to the idea you originally...
Your example of the Bobcats is exactly the problem with the current system. Under the current system, yes the Bobcats are better managed because...
You lost me here, too, what. If this is a pro-Grizzlies post, sure they've done well. Seems a little off-topic, though. Anyway, jopatmc, yeah I...
My bad, I didn't see this. Props for thinking about it first. After some consideration, I think the trade deadline is the ideal time to have...
The rules would be the same as the current system on that, meaning it's fine. What I meant was, you need to make sure that top teams cannot...
One edit: I think it would still be appropriate to exclude any teams that make the playoffs from the lottery.
There has been a lot of talk on Truehoop and our bbs about the problem with the incentives for tanking. If you want to get a franchise player,...
Morey has done a pretty good job, but I think everybody realizes the goal is to win big, and you need a star for that. Unfortunately, it looks...
If we finish out of the playoffs in the 14 slot, our total probability of ending up in one of the top 3 spots is 1.8%. If we make the playoffs we...
Nice read and a well-written article. A great follow up piece would be this: why a superstar coming to Houston would have an incredible chance at...
From a negotiating perspective, a "no-extensions" policy makes a lot of sense for RFAs. You force the player to show his hand first in a market...
Awesome info, Bima. Even if we take a cold approach to extensions for role players, Morey would not be doing his job if he didn't evaluate them on...
I agree, this isn't a great FA offseason anymore. But you need _good_ contracts for trades. If the contract is excessive you end up having to pay...
Extensions eat up your cap space and flexibility. It's generally risky to tie up cap space with early extensions when you are still trying to...
