Hocus pocus books by Stern.
At the start of the season ticket sales were off so much Stern feared a cap of 50-53 M. 6 weeks ago it was all of sudden 56.1 M and now it’s 58 M. I wasn’t aware the country’s economy was so good.
The cap was conveintly raised to 58 M yesterday to make it more possible for Miami to sign all 3 all-stars to near max deals.
Wade says he would take a cut. Why. If he signs for 14 M for 6 years he gets 109 M for the 6 years. Some pay cut. Hope he can keep his lights on. That will basically allow Bosh and Lebron to get 16 M a piece for 5 years firt year with 8% raises or about 92 Million if my figures are right. I suspect those two will have trouble feeding their families.
Hopefully in the new CBA owners will allow only one extra max deal per team for players who were drafted by other teams. If a team drafts players, those players can all get max deals if they are willing to pay the tax. No more than one other max player who was signed from another team on its roster. No more than 2 more players at 75% of with one max deal. Just a suggestion you moron owners! Have some balance of strength in the league.

Good for the players then, less play more pay…
Boston-LA next season, LA wins in 6 games…
Sorry Wade, Bosh, and LBJ aka King…
Btw, does the monicker “King” for LBJ means some kinda ruler or just KingKong for short?

The lockout is coming according to Danny Ainge’s dad. Yesterday on the radio (San Francisco station KNBR 680) he claimed that his son was going to resign the Big 3 even though they’re pretty long in the tooth. Because with the lockout Allen, Garnett and Pierce will have to only play about 40 games giving the Celtics hope for one more ring.

Good. Hope they get locked out. If LeBron leaves Cleveland, I’m officially done with pro basketball anyway… Bunch of overpaid drama queens.

“What happens when they need to pay Russell Westbrook, James Harden and the rest of the team bigger money, too. And everyone is telling them to get the one free agent that puts them over the top. Then are they disciplined?”
Yes. They drafted well, and would add the missing pieces via FA- that’s how you’re suppose to build a team.
