Morant suspended from all basketball activities. I guess I missed that earlier.

Not a lot of those right now

No, easy for Memphis to do that right now. I expect nothing from Silver.

But suspended him for the off season is yet another slap on the wrist that will accomplish nothing.

Suspending him indefinitely for the start of the season might save the guys life.

People talk shit about the bubble playoffs, and obviously it can't be like that normally, but it was sort of refreshing to see the players just play: No fans, a lot less barking at the refs because there wasn't a crowd booing or egging them on, just players vs players, no distractions, nobody had to yell to be heard, etc.

And yet, the league is doing great

Pretty sure I didn't say it wasn't.

So far the league hasn't suffered under Silver's watch, quite the opposite

It hasn’t.

He is much more player friendly than Stern.

That’s both good and bad.

I’m done with the guy. It just hasn’t worked.

Easy…

But, I don’t like that blaming the others shit.

The two stars did not show up.

Period.

Not sure it's either, it's what's appropriate for the time. Players run the league now. Hasn't hurt the popularity or the cash flow. Old heads always like things how they used to be, but life moves forward.

The WWE gets bigger every year, doesn’t mean you have to let the league turn into it. Other sports hold players accountable when they drag the business down. The NBA chooses not to so much, is what it is.

Business hasn't been dragged down

Indeed. And what it is is the NBA making more $ than ever, today, under Adam Silver.

Not even close.

There’s too much data now. Maybe it’s because he’s always hurts but he can’t deliver come playoff time. I don’t see the value in running it back with him. Time for a full rebuild with Maxey being the piece you keep. Give him the team and see where the ceiling is.
