Re: NBA officially confirms In-Season Tournament
The 65 game minimum is a good start for all nba awards. Gota play about 80% of games to win anything.

It is going to backfire and it is obvious how. Lesser players are going to qualify for supermax just through availability and real stars who are already under contract will sit out and miss out until they need to qualify for contracts. In the end the awards will be cheapened over the years.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Re: NBA officially confirms In-Season Tournament
good chance we may be able to keep OG now and give him a proper raise instead of letting him get to market. we'll see on that, obviously as maybe he'll want to test the open market. but at least we're not handcuffed now when making an offer.

Also no more testing for weed finally.
The NBA and NBPA have agreed to increase the upper limits on extensions from a 120% increase on a current deal to 140%, which could have a significant impact on the futures of stars like Celtics forward Jaylen Brown.
Under the current rules, Brown would be allowed to sign a four-year extension worth $165 million. With the extension rules increased to 140%, however, Brown -- who is set to earn $31.8 million in the 2023-24 season, the final year of his current contract -- would be able to reach his four-year maximum of $189 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

also thought this was an interesting change to increase parity
The NBA is curbing the ability of the highest-spending teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers, to continue running up salary and luxury tax spending while still maintaining mechanisms to add talent to the roster. The NBA is implementing a second salary cap apron -- $17.5 million over the tax line -- and those teams will no longer have access to the taxpayer mid-level in free agency. Those changes will be eased into the salary cap over a period of years.
Under these changes, Golden State's Donte DiVincenzo, Milwaukee's Joe Ingles, Boston's Danilo Gallinari and former Clippers guard John Wall wouldn't have been able to sign with those teams last summer.
As a counter to those spending limitations, the new CBA is expected to create more spending and trade opportunities for teams at the middle and lower spectrum of spending. There will be an opening of more opportunities in the free agent market, including larger trade exceptions.

Feels weird to punish owners who care about their teams.
Why reward the cheap billionaires.

Re: NBA officially confirms In-Season Tournament
Nobody is going to care about the mid-season tournament.
If teams are forced to compete, I imagine they'll just play their bench players/prospects/G-League call-ups. No way teams risk injury to key players for something so pointless.

O'Connor sounds like he's pushing for a job in NBA offices.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

It's tied to the regular season, so it can't be any less important than a current regular season game.Raps in 4 wrote:Nobody is going to care about the mid-season tournament.

I think single elimination games will be more exciting than your typical game against the Hornets on a Wednesday night.
People complained about the play-in at first and now it's pretty popular.

Yeah I am for one pretty excited about it. I was hoping for a more expanded NBA / G-League / International team type tournament but will settle for this. Not sure how the 83-games are going to factor into year end standings (the finals must not count for that?).
I think I would have preferred a mid-season tournament in which just every game was worth "2 wins" or something to make them a bit more important and give the fans something to care about in January.

Re: NBA officially confirms In-Season Tournament
The 65 game rule is pretty useless. How many guys have won an award playing less than 65 games? Also, unless your contract has an all NBA clause then you’re not going to care anyway.
The in-season tournament is a terrible idea. They have them in European footy and no one cares about them. The in-season tournament format works when you introduce new teams that you don’t get to play in your normal league competition.

Re: NBA officially confirms In-Season Tournament
Need to up the prize money imo. It’ll be a nice showcase for the lower paid players though
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

LOL Several players are going to have load management injuries right before this even happens, what a stupid idea.

Yup its zero extra games played, and only if you make the final you have to play one more game for a chance at $500k. I'd say that's a pretty good deal for players.

Why reward the cheap billionaires.
The purpose of the luxury tax was to be punitive and reduce flexibility. Theoretically a team like Golden State should not be able to extend Jordan Poole, resign Wiggins and add Divincenzo on a exception. The idea is that they’d have to let some good players go to other teams. It’s obvious that hasn’t worked with a lot of teams in practice so I guess that they’re trying to further limit their ability to add average players.

Ya i dont mind the second tax line which limits MLE. They arent saying you cant draft and develop to keep your own guys. But you shouldnt be allowed to get MLE type player at as high luxury tax team. Dont mind it. This will just add to more balance.
