I'm done. Morey ass should've BEEN fired and it's shameful they ain't canned him yet based on some freedom of speech bullish. Can't believe I'm even having this conversation. SMH... Well members of Congress disagree with you and are asking Adam Silver and the NBA to man up and tell China to suck it 1. Build upon your statement of October 8 in which you said “the NBA will not put itself in a position of regulating what players, employees, and team owners say or will not say on these issues” by clarifying that (a) NBA players, staff, partners, and fans in the United States are American persons-as such, you support their right to express their opinions no matter the economic consequences, and (b) while the NBA will follow Chinese law in China, the Chinese Communist Party must respect that the association will abide by American laws and principles in its global operations, including by not conditioning employment on any guidelines of expression on international political issues.gallagher.house.gov/sites/gallagher.house.gov/files/NBA%20China%20Letter.pdfRidge, enjoy your communism. World war 3 is gonna start because of a faking tweet from a basketball GM Social media is da debul!

This is what I've been waiting for
At least five NBA teams are having their salary cap personnel plan for a scenario in which the cap for the 2020-21 season could drop between 10 and 15 percent due to the current situation between the NBA and China, league sources told Yahoo Sports. This is part of the teams’ regular seasonal planning, but “it’s like the cap spike, but opposite,” a league source told Yahoo Sports. “After all the money everyone spent last summer, this would have a major impact on all of us.” – via Yahoo! Sports

Shams Charania: The Houston Rockets have waived former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett, league sources tell @the Athletic @stadium. – via Twitter ShamsCharania There's your scapegoat. Bennett hacked Morey's account. They waived him cuz his knee blew up. Too bad. Was interested in seeing him get a 2nd chance. Big3 in a year?

Morey screwed up big time, but my point is that the NBA would be in a pickle firing a guy who was only supporting the social agenda they've been pushing for the last few years. It would be a bad look and show that money trumps social awareness.

And if you think an NBA owner would rather have a championship and then a bunch of down years over a superstar and a continued threat of contention for a long period of time is poor business sense. These dudes don't buy teams to "win it all."

Big3 is prolly not a bad idea to show he can play. Then G-League and try again.

It would be a bad look and show that money trumps social awareness. It's a no win situation. They can't look like they're caving to China so they can't if they wanted to. This is why I said step down. But that wouldn't solve the problem cuz accepting is the same as firing.

The league provides a pool of cash that the NBAPA distributes to teams based on performance. So owners don't really pay playoff salaries, but they sure as hell increase ticket prices and collect on TV revenue.

Free agents better choose a team in a state with no income tax. That salary is doable in Texas, I doubt it gets you very far in California.

He ain't playing in the postseason if he's not getting paid for it

Woah, was looking at my friends box scores for his new season in Germany and noticed a whole new roster. Went to see what happened to a lot of the guys from last season. I see Javonte Green is on the Celtics and David Krämer is on an exhibit 10 contract for the Suns. Nice!

He ain't playing in the postseason if he's not getting paid for it They get a much smaller payout. It's something like 2.6m divided among the players. But they vote for who gets their playoff share. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/12787917/rajon-rondo-does-not-get-playoff-share-dallas-mavericks

I'm honestly surprised that there is potential for an immediate jump to the NBA from his team. I figured joining Europe's elite is what gets you on the radar. Javonte Green was a pretty good player for them, but he wasn't overwhelmingly better than everyone else either. He definitely got hot some games, but they always rode with the hot hand as the go to guy which wasn't always him. Krämer was a bench option for them.

Yeah Shaq had some funny lines but Dame had SAVAGE bars. It's weird though it's like they're fighting 2 different fights and both won the scorecards for THEIR fight. I call it a split decision for Dame, but the points add to a draw LOL I just hope they both(SHAQ) leave it alone now. Hella entertaining tho and I PROMISE you ain't nobody else finna try dame lol
