Adam Silver is attending the NBA Governor’s Meeting. In other words, you’re trapped in a hotel bar and refuse to talk to anyone. “I have to answer your stupid questions all year long and just want to drink without worrying about terrible Joe Racob and terrible luxury tax, terrible hours and a half, OK Shams?”
Instead, he works in a room of 30 supervisors and oppressors, supporting the less-required ones and solving FA Cup styles that solve problems while creating new ones. Tournaments during the season He secretly wants to be Mark Bringham, CEO of the Football Association. And he wants to replace the Warriors with Liverpool, the Pistons with Derby County, and the Knicks with Everton.So he could just hunt and see all four seasons at a glance Unforgettable If he wants to go to all BritBox, instead he thinks the NBA needs to be more football-like. This is a time when college football is a complete makeover, now called the NFL Lite, and the NFL wants to colonize the planet of Elon Musk.
And again, we live in a world where California has a gambling legalization voting bill (Proposal 27 if you’re thinking of relocating). Homeless and family destruction raises hundreds of millions of dollars for social issues, withdraws money from native casinos and pours them into two major New Jersey tribes, DraftKings and Van Duel. In other words, if you want to bet, you must vote for and against the bill at the same time, which is still technically a fraudulent vote only with the ballot box threatening protective umbrella.
That digression is now complete. Let’s go back to Silver and his owner.They are tackling the following nasty problems Load management (Hint: Adding a tournament is the opposite), lowering the draft target age to 18 (Hint: NIL fights to find someone who can make 17-year-old millionaires fight more evenly) , Trade request (Hint: He doesn’t like them, but he doesn’t have the power to stop them, and this will certainly find a way to Kevin Durant’s cerebral cortex in 3 … 2 … 1 …) And the owner will find the jewel Looking and pissing money (Hint: Racob is fooling the spirit of the budget, but Steve Ballmer and Joe Tsai aren’t because their team went 0-6 in play-in and post-season games. ).
But in-season tournaments, which have been whipped into the future since 2019, say players, agents, coaches, trainers, kinematicians, and even the gambling industry should work less. OK, it may not be in the gambling industry. They push players to reclassify as livestock to get more inventory.
Anyway, Silver is keen on this new level of competition and does not give us a healthy reason for everyone to want to compete for it. Favorite sports play. His proposal (perhaps $ 1 million per player) will work for the 150 or so players who made the league’s lowest form last year, but less interest from marquee players who actually generate viewer demand. I won’t pull. In short, it’s like arming an already too long and boring summer league with basketball fans who like their opinions to speak more shy than ever. This seems impossible.
I only know where God is, but now there may be a market for this. Silver swings the play-in tournament and proves that people want more games based on the idea that incentives for teams to play hard can’t actually participate in the playoffs (Clippers). See. 36 Wins New Orleans Pelican) Meanwhile, this new scam player drama is a way to opt out. In this way, the tournament during the season also becomes a staple of other beloved entertainment, the Pro Bowl.
And the owner may like it. Because they “Thank you, but that’s a mistake for me.” Want to see tanking in the most focused way? In one half-time of these albatrosses, let the team go down 68-49.
Overall, Adam Silver’s rampant British enthusiasts got in the way of his decency here. If he likes the FA Cup very much, he should jump on the company jet and fly to one of the additional qualifying round games (swearing to God) on August 6th, the same day the other leagues start. Maybe a healthy afternoon to see Sludgefield United play Fines Provident FC will cure his itch. Then again, it may encourage him to make a LIV scheduling transaction with Saudi Arabia, so this may explode just as badly. Frankly, Silver’s best choice seems to be to drive away Howard Beck and Tim Bontemp and stay in the bar, hoping that Tillman Fetita won’t find him.
