This won’t work. Warriors were already vulnerable last year bigtime. They won’t 3-peat and will be broken up next summer. This move helps to further move that along. Players will be looking for max deals, Steph will be 31, egos will be exposed, and they had their nice 2 year fad as a superteam (and 1 fluky additional one in 2015). This is actually a terrible move by the Warriors. :lmao

Why don’t you elaborate instead of just giving me a short answer. Klay isn’t taking a pay cut and has stated that. Durant is cashing in next Summer. Draymond is taking credit for them landing Durant with his last paycut and has said he won’t be taking another and looking to cash in. Cousins will be looking to cash in next Summer. They were down 17/15 points to a choking Rockets team with an inept coach minus CP3 in games 6/7. Cousins is a proven cancer who is coming off an injury that players suck at recovering from. Fucking idiots like you need to learn your history. This happened with the Lakers twice and with Miami. It’s going to happen with Golden State next. It’s inevitable. :lol People thinking this is actually sustainable.

I don't care how many social media mentions the league gets, they're setting up themselves up for a popularity decline. One key reason the NFL ascended over baseball back when, is because the MLB was very much like today's NBA, with the Yankees, et al talent hoarding. Parity was abysmal and leaguewide attendance was shit. The NFL designed the league where it felt like any team had a shot, "Any Given Sunday" and all that. But baseball does face a bit of a challenge being a slower sport and not highlight centric, which is why Manfred needs to institute that pitch clock ASAP next season. Get average game length around 2:30, encourage players to dance, bat flip, whatever. I'm really not favoring MLB over NBA, just that NBA needs to feel some pressure.

That's what I was implying. The NBA is not building "tradition" in smaller/losing markets, and Lebron and other stars bouncing around the league to ring chase, align themselves with their "business interests," or other reasons doesn't help facilitate that. On related point, there's a lot of consternation about the lack of MLB superstars on favorite athlete lists, and the reason for that is because fan favorites will be players on their hometown teams, so ten different MLB fans will likely pick 10 different players, while 10 NBA fans will pick Lebron, Curry. The MLB knew it was it better to exploit regional markets than just pimp the Yankees, since smaller markets are more stable because they're not as subject to the bandwagon effect (i.e. "I only watch the NBA when Lebron is on" vs. "I watch the MLB to watch my hometown team."). NFL did similar when they were growing.

Their arrogance is getting kind of NFL level.

I'd be down for MLF putting pressure on the NBA and I'd gladly help contribute to it. Get that pitch clock and I will tune in. I think a salary cap would be great too. You're right the league is getting arrogant. The people at the top, the superstars, all of them. Fuck them.

OMFG please install this shit. I used to love baseball when games were 2 1/2 hours long. With the current length I can't get into it unless I'm in the stadium, and that's not an option in San Antonio. :lol

It's coming. 3-4 hour baseball games are not historically the norm. It used to be a "fast paced" sport relatively speaking. No constant running around, sure, but when pitchers would only take like 8-12 seconds to throw, the average 9 inning game with typical scoring would be over in less time than an average basketball game.

Marcus Bryant
07-02-2018, 08:33 PM
That's what I was implying. The NBA is not building "tradition" in smaller/losing markets, and Lebron and other stars bouncing around the league to ring chase, align themselves with their "business interests," or other reasons doesn't help facilitate that. On related point, there's a lot of consternation about the lack of MLB superstars on favorite athlete lists, and the reason for that is because fan favorites will be players on their hometown teams, so ten different MLB fans will likely pick 10 different players, while 10 NBA fans will pick Lebron, Curry. The MLB knew it was it better to exploit regional markets than just pimp the Yankees, since smaller markets are more stable because they're not as subject to the bandwagon effect (i.e. "I only watch the NBA when Lebron is on" vs. "I watch the MLB to watch my hometown team."). NFL did similar when they were growing.

Why am I going to spend the time following the local smaller market team when the good players will leave? The NBA had a solution to this that worked reasonably well, some of it contractual, some of it, well, tradition based. Joining the team that just punked your team out of the playoffs used to be thought of as a bitch move.

The next time the local NBA team threatens to leave if it doesn't get a public subsidy for a new arena, well, bye.

The primary problem that has been lurking since Jordan captivated the basketball world (and the Magic vs. Bird rivalry before that) is when the NBA shifted from a more traditional "marketing around teams and rivalries" approach to centering the league around stars. The end result of the this strategy is people tuning out when said superstar retires from the league, leaves their team, etc. In baseball and football, high profile stars leaving/retiring really don't affect interest. Fans will essentially stick by their teams because stars don't move the needle as much in those sports (yeah, QBs in football, but you still need a line, defense, and great skill position players to complement a QB. Tom Brady leaving for the Bucs doesn't make them a playoff team. Hell, we don't know how good he is away from Belichick, but it's obviously Lebron, Curry, etc can bring the same impact anywhere they play).

The star angle is perfect for social media drama though, so I don't see a change anytime soon. Social media relevance still drives up the league's perceived value. I think it's a bubble in the making, though.

Yep. That's why I foresee a nationwide popularity decline in the coming decade. Why should a Bucks fan get invested in Giannis and his team when there's a higher than high probability he leaves for a marquee franchise? The MLB has its fair share of market chasers, but the difference is individual players really don't swing a team's fortunes and if a club develops right, they'll likely have an exciting prospect coming in. Blue Jays are a good example. The centerpieces of their franchises for the past few years (Donaldson and Bautista) are done/gone, but waiting in the wings in Vlad Guerrero Jr and about 3 other intriguing prospects. That's also why I advocate for the NBA to have a similar development system as baseball (lol NCAA and D-League "development"). Spurs are a smart club who develop just about better than anyone so we'd likely have a Vlad Guerrero Jr. coming, so Kawhi leaving wouldn't really sting that much. Be interesting to see what the Spurs could do with a baseball style farm system.

Indeed. Lebron, Warriors, and Lakers are basically the NBA's driving forces in the US. And Lebron seems fuckin indestructible, so I see him playing at above an all-star level until past 40. After he retires and the Warriors age, who is the next stars though?

I could definitely see a 2000s-like decline following LeBron's retirement..

That's my favorite part about baseball, but it's not a matter of the league, it's just the design of the sports..Mike Trout might be the best non-juiced hitter of all-time, but he's only made the playoffs once IIRC, doesn't guarantee anything.

Baseball is already ahead of the NBA in the US. Question: Why is slow bad? People don't watch baseball to watch constant sprinting and jumping. I understand the slowness being a turn off when pitchers are sitting there for a useless number of seconds, but baseball played "fast" as in pitchers taking minimal time has an enjoyable pace.

Baseball is actually one of the most dynamic sports. One way to score? What? :lol First off, a single at bat can have as many as 4 different "point values" from a solo homerun to a grandslam depending on the baserunner situation. You can bring runners home in a numerous variety of ways, from sacrifice flies, bunts, contact plays, double steals, etc. In any given at bat, the odds are constantly in flux as the count changes with every pitch. You also never know how an at bat will play out. A first pitch homerun has an entirely different "dynamic" than a player battling back from an 0-2 count, fouling off 4 payoff pitches, and then homering.

What also, theoretically, allows baseball to have infinite variation is that there is no clock and the ball doesn't change hands after possession. This gives baseball the greatest butterfly effect in all of sports. A missed inch on a pitch that would've gotten a team out of inning can snowball into 3, 4, 5, etc, etc, runs in the inning. This effect doesn't happen in other team sports because the scoring team has to concede the ball back to their opponent and/or play is reset. You can't predict how an inning will unfold. I've seen perfectly pitched innings (9 pitches for 3 outs) to 10 run innings. You can predict how a basketball possession will unfold. They either score 1 to 4 points or don't score.

The most unexpected things in American sports have happened in baseball. The 7th inning from the 2015 ALDS alone was the wildest sequence of events I've seen in a sporting event in the past decade.

Sorry bro.

There's more to "dynamism" than the ball just moving around a lot. Your definition is very narrow. Baseball is a different sport than a goal sport, but the fact the ball doesn't get passed around doesn't make it any less dynamic. Baseball has the widest scoring variation in sports. The average runs per game per team is around 4.5. We routinely see 8, 9, 10 runs from teams and sometimes as much as 30 on rare occasions. What other sport can potentially exceed its scoring average by a factor of 8 (at the highest levels)? This would be like a basketball team scoring 800 points. Or an NFL team scoring 160 points.

Baseball doesn't allow for multiple attacks and defends? No 95mph fastball is the same. One could look entirely different from another and have a totally different "theory" in execution behind it. Those two fastballs can be as different between a Box-and-1 defense and man defense. You can position the defense on a baseball field any way you like.

And again, why is slow bad?

I can't see how GSW will benefit from his presense except he is an allstar paid small money. He would slow an offensive tempo and there is no way he would become their main rim protector. Just additional offensive option supported with his strong belief he is a true 3-point threat. It's still GSW unbeatable smallball the rest of the NBA need to figure out. We can easlily handle the showers with healthy Kawhi, Kevin Love and Isiah Thomas))))

That could be part of the problem with Kawhi, Spurs had a pretty bad offseason last year did nothing to improve team. If they could get Kevin Love and Isiah Thomas that could change his mind a little bit.

It's only 3rd of July and the first big domino everybody was waiting to fall to move (Lebron) just felt. It's still a period of discussion and negociation, he would have plenty in firm offers in the days to come.

Nobody can't reasonably think there's not one interesting team that would have given him at least double what he got.

Who I'm feeling for right now is AD.

Dude worked his ass off to get NO relevant again. They traded for Cousins and could even have titillated GS in the PO with him, and now dude is packing for 5M...

Lebron never joined the Spurs or warriors so that doesn't make any sense

Pelicans sources came out and said they offered more. What's more likely is the offers Cousins got was low ball offers. Or lower than he thought. This is a guy that as on the verge of getting a super max in Sac. Was the starting center for the West but got injured. Teams didn't offer anything close to what a 27, dominant centre should get, despite an injury. He said, fuck you, and fucked the league.

^^Any team that would have offered a big deal would have been very irresponsible..torn Achilles is a killer, there's a good chance that Cousins is finished as a star and we're all just overreacting to his name..

The Spurs were not able to shove a stick in the eye of the Lakers but Cousins and George did a pretty good job. Looks like the Lakers are going to be the Warriors bitch like the Suns use to be ours.

Everything about this is disgusting. The likelihood of Cousins being reduced to a shell of his former self, is irrelevant. It's the intent.


I don't know which of these 3 is most pathetic . . .

- The lack of competitiveness, shame and the alarmingly increasing amount of groupthink among players, particularly prominent ones
- The lack of competitiveness, shame and desperation for constant attention and adulation from the Warriors
- The constant and shameless defending from their legion of backers in the media

Probably the first.

There are less and less references, team identity or franchise players you can identify to. No foes and rivalries. One day rivals, the next day arm in arm.

It feels like any player can ask to be traded any day if his coffee was too cold or the security guard didn't smile to him.

What is the best team, right now where I can win a ship in the easiest way...

Players say it's a business and teams don't hesitate to move them. It's true to some extent but they don't move guys who show commitmnet and accountability (not if they produce anyway).

Barkley's Sixers, Jordan's Bulls, Robinson's SA, Drexler's Portland, Utah's Stockton Malone, Wilkins Atlanta... Spurs big 3 vs Pistons big 4, spurs vs Lakers or Nash's Suns... you had clear identity, characters, stories and drama, you had a past, a future and a prsent, an history.

Kawhi + this + Durbeta... Yeah, not even sure I'm gonna follow anymore. What's the point of giving your attention to someone who doesn't give a fuck.

And dudes lie more than a romanian whore.

Chauncey Billups once told me that Achilles injuries are so tough to come back from because it leads to a bunch of other injuries all over your body. Elton Brand said the same thing: “Once you [hurt] the calf, it’s the ankle, the knee, the hips, the back."

NO looked much better without Cousins. If AD had wanted him back... No, AD isn't sad and isn't to be pitied.

The first is more pathetic, but the third is more harmful. It legitimates and reinforces the first.
