Oh yeah, a 4-5% cut is going to fix this problem. :rolleyes: :facepalm

Get real. The NBA does not make anywhere near the income to support the kind of salaries that NBA players demand. If they accept that deal the NBA will fold and cease to exist within 2-3 years, tops.[/QUOTE]
The Warriors were just purchased for almost double what Forbes stated their team value was.

So... basically, anything out of Forbes having to do with the NBA can safely be ignored.

But good job posting a link for once. At least you're improving on your trolling.

Dan Gilbert just doing the Cavaliers justice.

Lets do this Gilbert.

As usual, you just make up whatever bull shit you can think of to support your "arguments". Even if it is totally illogical and delusional and has absolutely no relation at all to the topic being discussed.

[QUOTE=jbryan1984]I support my owner but damnit this needs to end. Gilbert knows he is going to lose money this season but he should be smart enough to at least make some.[/QUOTE]
It's another year Baron Davis doesn't get payed. And the Commissioner is right.

FOUR teams have won 24 of the last 32 NBA championships since the 1980 season.

Lakers payroll; well over $100 Million

Sacramento at 45.

The "Salary cap" that the NBA has been operating under is virtually worthless.
As much as I wanted to see the new look Cavaliers, go to games with the pals etc. I think we can all agree on the above.

I don't get why the owners are offering so much. Why should the players get the bigger chunk? It makes no sense.

How many titles did New York win when they were spending 100 million a year?

What did Orlando get by spending 90 million last year?

Orlando is a contender...

And you seem to ignore LA....

NY was a decent team....

It's called terrible management. James Dolan, Otis Smith etc. Still doesn't justify the "Salary cap" which is worthless in the NBA.

Do watch basketball to see players play or to see owners own?

Why would the players deserve all that money by playing basketball, when the owners are the actually smart people. It's a waste of money to give it to most of the morons in the NBA.

Exactly. It's about having good management and has nothing to do with market size nor salaries.

[quote=Tips4]Yea that pick that got you Tristan Thompson, who is Carl Landry at best. Instead of a young Center who can potentially be a borderline all star or all star at that. I think Dan Gilberts decision. Clips benifit from this deal too, its not like its Vince Carter for Eric Williams and low picks. Everyone needs to relax, at this time both side are going to release their Propaganda. Media is desprate for any news, they are willing to release both side's propaganda.[/quote]

Nah that pick got them Kyrie Irving.

But the Clippers will have a lottery pick last season and removed Baron's contract so they should be ok. Mo Williams wont harm them.

You totally just miss read my previously 2 posts. :facepalm

That makes no sense. Do you think the Apple factory workers that make the iPods make more money than Steve Jobs?

I pay money for the iPod, not to meet Steve Jobs. See the stupidity of your pathetic argument?

[QUOTE]Why would the players deserve all that money by playing basketball, when the owners are the actually smart people. [/QUOTE]

Which has what to do with the fact people pay billions of dollars to see the players and own things with their names on it?

As opposed to what? Paul Allen buying another 160 million dollar boat? Mark Cuban spending 90 thousand dollars in the club?
