Yeah, the thing that makes all of this so complicated is that it isn't a problem to be solved, its an optimization to be balanced. You can 'fix' tanking easily in a lot of ways. For example, you could reverse the odds in the draft so the best teams get the best picks. That'd completely remove...

Yeah, I've watched pretty much every game from the 97 season (first year my family got cable) till now, but haven't been able to bring myself to watch any games this year at all. I understand and don't necessarily disagree with the tanking efforts. When I watch I want to cheer them to win...

I don't really feel like you can trade Gay at this point. His contract has negative value. We already shipped off all the young guys with upside that we could have glued his contract to as salary matching filler. To ship him out, we will have to send out draft compensation attached. I don't...

I mean, there are two paths forward for the team right now. Either A) We continue to win, and exceeding the homery-est fans' wildest dreams , we are in serious playoff contention when the trade deadline comes around. At which point Ainge cashes in a bunch of those draft picks for a couple...

To play along a bit.... You're right when you say this isn't a question about athleticism or competitiveness or whatever. Its a weird thought exercise about "what's the other team going to do when you play this weird way". But they aren't going to leave you open and let you shoot. As you...

Whiteside's been pretty good at keeping us from falling to pieces when Rudy sits. But I have a feeling we're going to try to smallball with Gay more in the playoffs, so he gets the nod for me there. Our team pretty much lives or dies based on how well our second tier guys are hitting their...

Boler's always bugged me a bit, with just the way he tries to understand everything in football terms (one and out). But I did a thing a few years back where I got NBA League Pass, and listened to the opposing broadcast on all the road games. It gave me a lot more appreciation for our...

The trib article doesn't say anything more specific than "a 3 year deal worth 33 million".

https://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=18640 Look at the second story on this page titled "Europe Is Not An Option". The gist of it is just that European teams in a FIBA league will honor NBA contracts, and therefore no NBA player under contract will be able to play in Europe. Free...
