No. I burned that stupid, moronic moniker out of my brain as quickly as they tried to stuff it in. That name was made to let the little brainwashed folks think they were a big deal. That is all. Phew.
Ugh. Salary cap itself is anti American. This is worse. No need for manufactured parity when the system isn't broken.
Fuck American capitalism. Do you want only one team worth a shit, because unfettered capitalism is designed to create a monopoly. *whisper whisper* What's that? We have the richest owner? Yeah, salary caps are the devil!
Would make sense..... The Spurs, for example, just plan to just keep adding free agents onto their team so they never have to rebuild. As long as your winning, a potential free agent will at least listen to you. Well. At least the Lakers suck. I have to take it where I can get it. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
If I were making a board/card game where each player was assembling a deck of different cards as part of the game (the other part being you play competitive game with the deck you made), I'd think first about what my goal was. If my goal is parity and balance, I'd put a value each card and give every player a hard point limit and card count minimum. This incentivizes players to spend the max but because the cards are valued with care, each deck should be competitive if the player is decent. If my goal is to get players to buy more cards because I'm in the business of selling them cards, I set a card minimum, put no values on the cards, and set no point limit. This encourages players to keep the leanest, meanest deck, but to constantly change it up as new cards come on the market. The NFL does the first and the MLB does the second. I'm not sure which I like more, or what business the NBA is in.
To be fair to the trade gurus, Dame isn't going anywhere, which leaves CJ as our only valuable trade commodity. In addition, he is viewed as slightly redundant to our best player. So, yeah, I expect CJ will be offered up in trade scenarios for superior players at positions of need.
