If a player wants to win and has a great opportunity to join a winner, there's not really anything you can do to prevent them from leaving.#RespectTheCultureComment

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread
“It’s the popular thing to do,” Bryant told reporters. “The player takes less, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think it’s a big coup for the owners to put players in situations where public perception puts pressure on them to take less money. Because if you don’t, then you get criticized for it.”
The Spurs are far and away the best example of how to build a franchise. They drafted all of their players that netted them their 5 championships. They were able to keep the team together because guys made financial sacrifices to stay together in a SMALL MARKET. In theory with no salary cap, the Spurs could've still stayed together but the players could've made $ they're actually worth. Clearly them being a small market isn't an issue.
You can still have a strict set of rules with no salary cap; you can still have the rule where the team with your bird rights or whatever can sign you to a 5 year contract and all other teams only can sign you for 4. You can still have an extremely high luxury tax if the Knicks or Lakers want to try and Yankee the league.
Do I expect the salary cap to be gone in the new CBA? No. It will probably be discussed though. Two years ago Cuban said in the last negotiations that getting rid of max contracts and guaranteed $ was on the table and will likely be re-visited again next year. It's going to be interesting to see it all play out.
I just always get a kick out of people that are against a no-salary cap and point to MLB as the reason why. Ummm MLB arguably has the most parity of the 3 leagues and the Yankees have proven that having all the $ in the world and buying a team doesn't automatically equate to winning titles.Comment

You know what made KD to GSW possible? Homegrown talent built through the draft and player development.
Identify and development talent properly and the doors to proven All-Star caliber FA's wanting to join your team will open.Comment

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread
Why waste cap space and a roster spot on a declining and injury prone big man to help a conference rival facilitate a huge signing?
****ing Mark Cuban, man.

I hate Mark Cuban so much. Why the **** is he helping the shed salary to sign Durant? Just keep Zaza Pachulia and Salah Mejri while improving other areas of the roster.

We say we want different teams but then will complain about the lack of stars(And yes I know this is an NBA Marketing issue before the usuals bring that up).
So when fans say they want parity, I always call bull**** because that's not what they really want.#RespectTheCultureComment

Whatever, the best of luck to those dudes in GS. Hopefully the Spurs can find another wing player so I don't have to see Kyle Anderson on the court.
Other crazy part with Spurs, Ginobili may not return if the Spurs can't fork over more than the room exception (which was like $2.9 million last season) to offer him. I love Manu, but if Timmy is calling it quits I can't see them paying Manu more than an exception to return. He's old, fragile and will only breakdown further.
I can't believe I'm typing this nonsense....
