      Can't stand this bafoon.

      Fakiest douche you ever seen on your screen, players heath? Lol. Black movement? yah right. Rigged games, gimme hell yah.

      There are no changes to referees despite countless rigged games and evidence of it, nor the system itself (Scott Foster says hi).

      All the promises to players about changes when it comes to black live matters to me seems just an empty talk.

      Completely botched season with players getting injured right and left.

      And also how are the draft system still sucks on so many levels.

      Even crooked ass Stern was better.

              He's a commissioner that works for the owners, so I completely agree with most of your other points, but was wondering where you're coming from on this point? The NBA has been the most forward thinking league and has not tried to stop their players from voicing their opinions, or protest at all. They've actually been encouraging. Now I'd agree with you IF you would've been talking about the NFL. Please, educate me on anything that I may have missed.

                I just dont get it how his still in charge, hope hes gonna sooner or latter. Players need to do something.

                Oh, and i have huge dislike how players are in general treated. Look at whole J.J Redick situation: when dude was wanted by several teams and Pels promised him everything and some more, due to him being productive player that was okay.

                But when they told him his gonna get traded and he asked to be somewhere close to his family (BKN) they traded him to Dallas (further away than Nola), never spoke with him about that, just shipped him like he was some random garbage.

                NBA is also set to get a MUCH fatter TV contract. How do the low end players still make so little? If you account for taxes, agents among other shit? Yikes.

                  It’s $925K USD. That’s more anyone can ever imagine, it’s not like they make as little as the WNBA.

                    @dortthefort 925k$ could be half that after taxes, take 10% by agent and you're looking at 400k. That's a 30k a month. Looks good on paper, but if you're NBA player most of the time you LIVE THAT LIVE. Because you're with other players and whatnot. Expenses are big.

                    In short term, there are so few NBA players that if you made it, you're already a star of your own. Where do you think other money go? They go to owners pockets.

                    Not to mention if you're NBA player you most likely have little to no other skills to pull off a carrier that easily once your health is in trouble or you retire.

                      What does Adam Silver have to do with J.J. being traded to Dallas? The league doesn't own that team anymore. It's a business and players get traded and that's why I'm okay with players leaving in free agency as well.

                        @knezius The best WNBA player isn’t getting paid the minimum in the NBA. And to compare other sports (MLB, NFL) the NBA has the best minimum salary by FAR.

                          @dortthefort Why are you comparing WNBA? Makes so sense, given what revenue, TV deals and other things these league got.

                            What? Plenty of players move on to other careers after they've retired. Today's players are setup IF they managed their money correctly. It's the old school players that paved the way that have been fucked over. You should really hate 2K then because though don't give these players shit to use their likeness to profit from. Lmfao

                              @knezius I just said it because its the same sport. But other sports pay way less and now the NBA is not giving them enough?

                                @dortthefort do I need to debunk all that non sense like nfl who have rosters size of a sea? Seems like you're here just to argue for the sake of it.

                                  @knezius just for the sake of it? I’m never going to have 925K in my lifetime and these guys are making it in a year. The NFL has a big roster and those long time backups make 910K. In the MLB the 570K is not for the Minors. Only Majors. The NBA does the most money minimum.

                                      Seems you’re smarter than some grown men. 🐐 925k is a lot of money for someone to be riding a bench. It’s up to them to make smart decisions with their money.

                                          To quote @RodSquad (I do this every time Adam is brought up)
                                          Ol' Adam Silver and the NBA plantation.
                                          To add my own thoughts:
                                          The big players are cash cows and Adam is rigging games in their favor.

                                              @knezius I think low end players are overpaid and top end are underpaid, compared to their value at least. I think it’s good to pay all players a healthy amount, but bottom players make more than their value to the league/team.
