Love that he never got a ring and his farewell tour was ruined.

There ya go. We should all go in on it together. You get to stay there proportionate to the amount of money you put in. I claim June 13th, from 8:00 AM until June 13th, 8:05 AM for my time slot. https://www.movoto.com/pebble-beach-ca/3364-17-mile-dr-pebble-beach-ca-93953-100_ml81904361/

Teams at or below .500 says nothing about the talent in the league. Fairly standard to have around 50% of your teams at or below .500 for any league where every game produces one win and one loss.

If these guys needed incentive to play hard you wouldn't see entire starting lineups sat down on a nightly basis. But they do need to be compensated since its extra games so you just prorate their salary.

I would have said he would end up in OKC. They like him there, and it gives him a shot at finally getting a ring. But I just looked at their roster, and they have 15 guys and nobody they can really cut. Houston needs a PG, but I don't know if Paul can even contribute at this point.

I like the lottery and would consider keeping it and just using the tournament to seed it.

A 14 team tournament would require 4 rounds to complete. Regular season ends on a Sunday and the first playoff game is the next Saturday. So you would have to play 4 rounds in a 5-day window to complete the tournament before the playoffs start. There would be a big incentive to finish in the top half of the bracket, just to eliminate some travel. The bottom 6 teams to win the tournament would most likely have to travel 4 times in a 5-day window. That should keep the bottom teams from tanking in the regular season. Where you will see some tanking still is the 8th/9th seed area. Let's say you have been in the lottery the last two seasons and your team is starting to get good. You have a great shot at the 8th seed and making the playoffs. Your reward? Getting your teeth kicked in by the 1 seed. So maybe you have one or two of your better players develop back spasms for a week or two so you lose enough games to drop to the #9 seed. You are now the favorite to win the tournament, get one last high pick before moving onto the playoffs the next season. That is where you will still have some tanking. You will always have some tanking on a record based draft order. The goal isn't to eliminate it, the goal is to minimize it the best we can.

I don't understand how they expect him to get better if he never shoots. He has taken 5 three point attempts in the past 2 1/2 months, or 33 games. You need live attempts to see if the practice is helping or not. I would like to see him start taking 3-4 attempts per game. Yeah, if it's a tie game with 40 seconds left, don't shoot. But there is no reason he couldn't have put up a few threes in the Toronto game. They beat the Knicks by 38, fire up some shots. -
