2016 Offseason Thread
I think Dirk is just the last remnants of the era that required loyalty from star players.
NBA is just looking more and more like soccer from a FA perspective.Last edited by elprez98; 07-11-2016, 01:05 PM.Originally posted by My Wife"The Celtics only won because they have a magical elf playing for their team...."Comment

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread
Well like I said, the NBA is changing again. Some people can't deal with it either, but it's changing again. An old era is leaving us and the rule changes have made the game different.
Free Agency is no longer what it was, and some have an issue with that, but we're going to have to get used to it.
Once the NBA decided to go down the "its a business road" this was probably inevitable. Everyone looking out for themselves.Comment

I know you weren't specifically addressing me, but personally I welcome the change. I think in the end it makes for a more interesting product and seems like better opportunities for the players across the board.
If the popularity of the game continues to grow, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see the NBA organize a tiered promotional system using the DL and "Champions League" to further saturate the world market.Originally posted by My Wife"The Celtics only won because they have a magical elf playing for their team...."Comment

Nah not at all. Some of the comments I've seen around the NBA, about Durant, the money, free agents not being loyal, half of the first round of the draft being international players... its all coming full circle.Comment

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about whether he'll play next season or not. I would love to see Duncan, Garnett, Bryant, Pierce and Allen (if he hasn't officially retired already) go out at the same time. Probably the great HOF class ever if that happens.

Whatever they are doing is working....I would agree the game is changing in a lot of ways, and some things still take some getting used to....hell, some still complain about 3 point shooting though it's been trending that way for a while....but I think it's a good thing overall..
They need to think long and hard about if they want to halt all this momentum they have with a lockout..Comment
