Wow top 4 is a little harsh IMO, I can see maybe no more 1’s or 2’s…..but top 4? What if the pick is a flop?

Eventually players will be getting paid more for winning.. the problem is they so rich eventually they gotta start getting paid less for losing

I don’t think draft is unconsitutional. You work for the NBA. They want you at x, than have to go. That’s way I look at it.

Is this really what ESPN pays these guys to do? Debate random takes from reddit? I only watched 2 seconds to confirm, not giving them a single additional second of watch time

The Sacramento Kings surely did waste Jimmer Fredettes career, they got him during the 2011 NBA draft and didn’t give him any type of burn, Jimmer Fredette was lights out in college, as soon as the Kings got him he hardly seen any type of floor time, such a waste smh. Jimmer was exciting to watch when he played for BYU.

750,000 fine bet they get in line.
No special treatment just how they do the players. It’s simple

Should have huge bonuses for players playing 65+ games. Not just the ones for first or second team all star awards. I’m worried someday you’ll be watching most stars only playing 50 games a year

They should just tax the individual games them selves. If any team loses by 25+ points that’s a $25000 fine/10-25000 fine every loss under .500

Kick this woke a$$ commissioner out! To get tanking situation to be over is cut the games to 65 games. These nba players can’t be keeping skipping games. Players love their rest in today’s nba

New strategy: after a team loses 41 games for the remainder of the season merchandise has to be set to 50% off. Also if you have a losing record 3 years in a row then you lose your draft pick for the following season

The idea that getting rid of the draft means all the talent will go to big markets is crazy, theres only 15 roster spots and if you keep the salary cap you can only pay the top talent so much…..no top player is rushing to sit on the lakers bench…players will go to bad teams if it means they get paid and get to play.
