NBA Expansion?

Not sure I agree with this, can you provide citations?

Who was behind the Common Core math standards, and will they survive?

Who created Common Core math? Jason Zimba and the other writers knew the transition would be tough, but they never imagined political battles would threaten the very existence of their dream.

The Impact of Arithmetic Skills on Mastery of Quantitative Analysis

Over the past several years math education has moved from a period where all math calculations were done by hand to an era where most calculations are done using a calculator or computer. There are certainly benefits to this approach, but when one concomitantly recognizes the declining scores on...

1) That study was well before Common Core was implemented
2) Unless I missed something, it's saying kids who learn calculations better also learn abstract processes better. That seems to be the expected result.

Page five: talking about common core.

You guys are ****ing nerds.

Anyway, expansion would bolster the Jazz staying in Salt Lake long-term if they go into Las Vegas/Seattle, as those are the two markets I could theoretically see the Jazz relocating to if Ryan Smith tires of the limitations of the state.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be.

Growing up the way I did math was pretty damn similar to the examples of common core that I've seen online. I would "show my work" and because that wasn't the way I was taught to do math the teachers gave me a hard time or wouldn't accept my work at all. Breaking numbers into multiple easy to work with pieces and then putting them back together just makes sense to me and makes math easy(er) for me, especially being able to do it in my head.

I kind of hate that instead of letting everyone learn the way they learn best they are now pushing common core. I kind of hate it, but at the same time this is something that was developed by a bunch of education experts and all I hear are mostly non-college educated 40, 50 and 60 something year olds making fun of it without really knowing what it is.

It’s dumb as ****. No one does math this way. A zillion engineers, professionals, college professors, etcetera have said as much. It’s just one more example about how really educated people come up with dumb ideas that work in a vacuum and think it’s smart to apply them everywhere.

Looking forward to playing the Las Vegas Showgirls!



They'll probably call the team something like The Aces or Casino Bosses or something.

Outlaws has a nice ring to it

I hope they do bring the sonics back with their iconic space needle logo. That was awesome.

Right?

Years ago, I was an active poster on this board and for quite some time now, I’d classify myself as an occasional dweller.

I never put much thought into why, but your post summed it up nicely. When I saw the thread title, I was excited to read 5 pages worth of talk about which teams would be moving East, who should the Jazz expose in an expansion draft, how sweet it will be to have the Supersonics back, etc.

Instead, it’s a 5 page intellectual dick measuring contest and not a mod in sight to get things back on track.

That’s 2022 Jazzfanz in a nutshell.

Cool. Which teams do you think are primary candidates to move East, whom should the Jazz expose, and how do you feel about the Supersonics returning?

How many players have to be exposed for an expansion draft?

1. What is common core? Sorry haven’t followed this thread at all.
2. Didn’t Hail Miller make it so the jazz couldn’t move or was that relinquished when the team was sold, but at the same time I thought I heard even if sold they couldn’t move.

Las Vegas Aces is already taken - it’s the name of our WNBA team.

Look at the two Eastern finalists. In Game 7 both teams played eight players. By Homey math, that leaves eighteen players from just two teams that are expansion draft worthy. Have the league allow teams to freeze nine or ten players and there is your pool for the two teams.

The rules in 2004 when Charlotte came in.

• Each team can protect up to eight players. If a team has less than eight players on its roster to protect, it still must leave a minimum of one player unprotected.
• The expansion team must select a minimum of 14 players and can select a maximum of 29 players overall.
• The expansion team can select only one player from any one NBA team.
• The expansion team is not bound to the salary cap during the draft. They can take on as many contracts as they like. However, once the draft is over, any players they've drafted and keep will count toward their cap (it should come in at around $31 million).
• As long as the expansion team waives a player selected in the expansion draft before the first day of the regular season, the player's remaining contract does not count against the team's salary cap.
• Restricted free agents drafted in the expansion draft automatically become unrestricted free agents.
• Teams are allowed to entice the expansion team to select players by offering cash, draft picks or agreeing to additional trades in return.
• If a team has a player selected by the expansion team, the team receives a trade exception equal to the player's 2004-05 salary. This allows teams to replace a player lost in the expansion draft with another player of comparable salary.
