    Yeah I'm on the last episode. I don't know much about wrestling other than the superstars the rock, hulk hogan, john cena so it's been cool seeing how those stars started their careers etc.

    That documentary was boring for people that already knew all that stuff, pretty much anyone that used to follow wrestling or loosely still does.

    Probably incredible for people that don't know anything about the history.

    Yeah I know very little so it's been a lot of fun. And I think that was the intention of the documentary to introduce people to WWE before the McMahon sex allegations came to light and he had to step down. With Netflix picking up WWE this was meant to introduce WWE to a new audience on Netflix.

    Shouldn't this be in the "Lakers are a dumpster fire" thread?

    How the hell did nobody mention that the Blazers waived David Muoka yesterday?

    I’m wondering who that is and why anyone would ask how we missed it when I had absolutely no idea who that is?

    Can you explain this like I'm a dummy? The "aggregate minimums"

    I stole this from one of the comments in the tweet.


    Basically, the new CBA says you can’t throw in minimum contracts in order to match salaries to get a trade done. The Knicks paid their minimum guys $1 above the minimum making them technically not minimums, and were then able to add 3 of them to the trade to match salaries

    Well I guess in the off-season they will amend the rule to say that you can’t pay players less than $250,000 above the minimum or something…?

    True, but the Commish has that rule about "circumventing the cap." Pretty broad power in that, as well as doing "what is best for the league." But I love it.

    Thing is, the rule exists specifically because there are salary cap exceptions allowing signing minimum contract players at any time, whereas to do what the Knicks did, I would assume they had to use (a small portion of) their MLE to sign those players. So I doubt the league office really has any problem with this, because it's not really circumventing the point of the rule.
