    It's the player's union resisting it, not the billionaire owners. The owners typically want balanced opportunities. They of course want whatever advantage they can get, but most need that "level" playing field concept first.

    when CBA's are being negotiated, both side usually threaten to be willing to die on hills they have no intention of dying on

    the player's union might be willing to die on the hard cap hill. Regardless, the NBA needs to implement some kind of limit on this super-team bullshit. I think the Warriors are over 430M right now in payroll and repeater tax. That's fucking insanity

    the owners need to implement a hard-cap by another name. They need to triple or quadruple the repeater tax penalties and make them kick in one or two years sooner. Warriors would very likely blink if they were paying 1.43B this year instead of 430M. That kind of shit absolutely must end

    They are all spoiled richies. Forcing themselves out of teams and onto other teams. Players are just as bad.
    but thanks for clearing that up.

    It’s wild how much has changed! The game is different.

    Shaq was a beast.

    This was a good game. I was only 8 years old but I was a big Kenny Anderson fan back then.

    Nick Van Exel was good too

    You should watch it next time you have free time to do so.

    Kenny Anderson goes off. 15 points in the first 8 minutes. 6/6 from the field, 3/3 from 3.

    No respect. Nothing from those commentators but a desire for the Lakers to come back and win.

    I saw a group of magic fans trying to come up with nicknames for Paolo Banchero and one of them said “Huevos Banchero”. Not pronounced the same but funny none the less.

    Right???? This is literally unprecedented. They just picked up his option. Must be some SERIOUS non-basketball shit that happened.

    Westbrook just played 1 minute of game time (like 3-4 possessions) with only one shoe.

    Can’t make this up.

    Didn’t do anything, including putting his shoe back on.

    Never seen that before…

    3 minutes into his NBA career might be kind of early to declare him a bust
