Why are people down on silver? Stern left him a great position, but had he really done anything bad?

I hope they get Lakers broadcasts in
Unmm what? This is an insane take. Stern went after players like AI because he was scared of rap and black people.
Lol. Allowed. Ok
I'm conflicted on Stern for that, and for limiting players pay like he did too. On the other hand, the Spurs success would have never happened without him driving the hard bargain he did in the 99 lockout. The Spurs would have ended up hamstrung by one big contract with Tim the same way the Timberwolves were with Garnett. I also have to give Stern credit for getting the NBA off tape delay. You can say that was Magic and Bird, but the NBA was still small potatoes and on tape delay their first few years in the league. Whereas Silver has let the small markets become minor league teams to the big markets now the same way we used to see in the MLB. It's one thing for players to walk to big markets but to force trades there while under contract? Silver seems weak as and I think there is going to be to pay once the owners can opt out of this CBA. With contracts effectively only going one way now I think owners are going to try to push for NFL style non-guaranteed contracts in 2023, which of course the players would be fools to accept. And I think there's a great chance we're going to lose a season because of it.
Stern was a really good commish who overstayed his welcome by about 5 years. His fine on the Spurs for the Miami game was the worst kind of shoot from the hip bull . He fined them $250K BEFORE the ing game, and then needed
LeBron to go absolutely ape in the last minute and a half to keep from being a complete fool.
