Lockout is OVER!!! NBA is back according to sources

What do you think Knight will average (minutes) this year? If he gets the minutes he could be in the talks as well ..
 
Ugh, I hate how the NBA always make their schedule unnecessarily complicated. The regular season is going to last 124 days, there are 66 games, and they say that every team will have to play three-in-a-row at least once. Really? With 66 games in 124 days, you could just about make a schedule where a team barely has to play any back-to-backs, but they figure they have to do triple-headers.

But no, TV must dictate schedule and teams must go on lengthy road trips because a circus or Stars on Ice has occupied their arena.

And some teams refuse to have home games on Sunday. NBA is sort of hamstrung when it comes to scheduling. No way arenas are open for every other day games. Not only do you have long occupiers, but they have three day concerts, NHL teams, NCAA tournament games, NCAA conference tournament games, conventions, etc. NBA will do three in a row out of necessity.

everyyear we wait a long time between confernece finals and finals.
they could delay 1st 2nd round and wcf/ecf.

Delaying the start of it a week with it ending around the same time.

Can't delay the end, really, because it's an Olympic year.

Should get 20, don't you think? I imagine they'll experiment around a lot with him and Stuckey at the 1/2.
 
If what I am reading is correct. This deal does very little for the Jazz. What happen to the small market teams getting together to make the league more competitive? Other then a few minor salary cap changes I don't see anything that helps with that cause. So it looks like this was just a money grab by the owners.

That's exactly what I thought when I red a bit through the new deal. Other then the new tax rules there is nothing at all that favours small market teams. How on earth did they accept to keep the MLE around?
