Here to spread Pascal, Pacers, Purdue, and Fever propaganda. #YesCers
Has there been a player that destroyed a narrative as fast as Jaylen Brown did this season
If a team, under the new rules, was still found by Adam Silver’s office to be tanking, he would be able to take away that team’s draft pick, move it to the end of the lottery or first round and also increase fines into the millions of dollars, per @joevardon (h/t @APH00PS)
Drop some love for T.J. McConnell on his birthday 🗣️
unbelievable that the democrats are trying to marginalize anti genocide voices when its a 90/10 issue especially in michigan, where they lost last time for doing this exact same thing!! i'm proud to stand with a true antifascist, antigenocide voice like @AbdulElSayed
You may hate my team, I may hate yours. But we all hate Purdue
“Kon Knueppel is arguably the best White American Basketball player in the league. I would take him over Austin Reaves. Cooper Flagg is good but he’s not like this.” - Jeff Teague (Via @club520podcast, h/t @NBA__Courtside)
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.
