Damn it, no. No Bamba, no Ayton. Keep Poeltl or draft his replacement. Don't trade him for a first and then think paying some cast-off more money makes the team better. I was a big Bamba stan during his draft, and I'm happy he's sort of put it together this past year. But no.
Dallas isn't any more an established rivalry than LAL is. I don't know why you keep insisting that Texas teams have an intense intrastate beef that can't compare to other teams.
If the NBA expands, divisions will almost certainly change. That's just a fact. No amount of thumbs-downing will...
Understood that you meant something different. I understand what you're saying now.
You don't lose Boston/LAL rivalries by changing divisions. For the most part rivalries come from important games, which in the NBA almost always means playoff games. If Dallas and SA, for example, see each other...
So you said history has proven that cultural groupings aren't good for basketball. You can try to Houdini your way out of that. I don't care. I was responding to that idea as well as the one that Texas is also a cultural grouping, one that doesn't really matter any more than the others. You looked...
i agree but thats a really poor argument for it. all defensive awards should not be lifetime achievement awards. player A shouldnt make more all-defensive teams than player B because player A was really dominant in a given finals game.
its also usually quite different between bigs/guards. for...
We should just have that level of security literally everywhere. kindergartens. grocery stores. maybe even outside everybody's home. you know, for our safety.
Owners want to add games. Players want to reduce them. That's why it stays the same, but that balance could tip if the owners get something they want. Silver seems to badly want the NBA to have an in-season tournament. That could make a ton of money and help off-set fewer games total.
Like for...
do you think if murder and rape were decriminalized that we would not see an uptick in murder or rape? are laws/bans only worthwhile if they prevent things from happening 100% of the time?
are we sure that derp actually left ST or did DMC just give him his account?
The NBA is making a lot of cultural pushes. One of their big ones is in Mexico right now. So yes, in particular, marketing SA, LA and PHX as a division for Mexico and Mexican-Americans makes sense. They can and already do similar things with the Pacific teams and Asia and Florida teams and Cuba....
So is California (and more so). Dunno why you skipped over that. Texas is Texas, and that doesn't change just because the teams aren't in the same division. The NBA used to be unique for having Texas teams together, and MLB joining them was seen as a black eye for many Astros fans. There are...
I don't think it's a defensible opinion that he was going to be any kind of force. It's a misrepresentation of the debate to suggest those who wanted Primo to not be in Austin believed that. Rather, those of us who wanted Josh in SA assumed he'd play exactly like he did, which is why I am not...
STL never had an NBA team. They had an ABA team. Also, I'm not against Cinci or KC having teams. Smaller cities can have teams if they can support them. It's okay.
Anyway, why does it matter if there are different time zones? The Spurs often play all three of those teams four times a season...
Because it doesn't really matter that every Texas city is in a division? No one said anything about the Cali teams being broken up or the Bucks, Pelicans and Grizz changing conferences in the other example
no, we do know
it would be one thing if you came out and said "i would support a, b, and c gun control policies". it would be another thing for you to vote for people who agree with those policies.
if i said that i support political position a but then exclusively vote for people who run...
But, I think St Louis instead of Vegas would be cool

I think it would fit better without two PST teams. But whatever.
Awk, but probably still worthy of discussion. I think expansion is a great idea, though I don't like how Seattle couldn't keep a team but has been shoving to the front of the line. It would be nice to see the NBA in places like Louisville or St Louis first. Still, you can't deny the NBA's imprint...
:lol "coddle"
its pragmatism. the dems have 50 seats in the senate but 2 of them are "dems". theyre not going to magically become berniebros just because you threaten to hold up another bill that they already werent too enthusiastic over to begin with
