2022 NBA Offseason thread

[The Q]

If anyone deserves punishment it's the Knicks. Now that I agree with.

A player taking a pay cut to help the team is not a problem imo.

I think the Knicks is harder because his dad is involved.

How do you legislate conversations between father and son?

Restructuring contracts to "finagle" cap space room is done all the time. The fact that they did it when they weren't allowed to do it yet, just like the others who only received 2nd round draft losses, doesn't change from the fact that the wolves were literally destroyed for the foreseeable future because of this while others are just getting slaps on the wrist.

I already explained why that’s the case. You don’t usually get the circumstance where the people in the know have a falling out and one of them presents all the evidence needed. That key piece of agents with knowledge selling out clients is never usually a component.

How do you legislate conversations between friends like Harden Tucker and House?

 

[thunderc]

This is ridiculous. So you think that if a team gets caught talking to an agent a few days before free agency because, that is tantamount to being the worst thing a NBA franchise could possibly do?

Do you think we should also ban players from talking to other players, since that is how most of these trades really happen anyway?

I just think rules should be followed amongst professional organizations. You don’t have to agree.

Yup.

When the Sox got caught for international fa rules violations and mlb punished them, I agreed with it

They deserved it.

If you don’t follow and enforce rules, there’s no point in having them.

That's fine. But suggesting a death penalty punishment for a minor crime is ridiculous. First off the teams would go insane if this was even proposed and there would lawsuits out the ass if that was the typical punishment.

No there wouldn’t be. It’s simple, make the punishment so bad no one does it.

It’s literally already been done

That is nowhere close tampering

And there won’t be any evidence in this case either. You know Q from the politics forum. Evidence means fuck all when he’s dug in.

If we executed jay walkers that would dramatically decrease jay walking.

Maybe teams who tank should lose 5 draft picks. Ranking hurts the sport 10X more than some talking to an agent the day before FA

It also means fuck all when he thinks the Sixers are the target.

There is no take too hot for Q

Rules are rules and professional organizations have a right to expect their peers to follow them.

You and liarhawk doing major projecting this week

Again, ignoring what I’ve said before

Your MO

 

[fightinfunbags]

Rules are rules and professional organizations have a right to expect their peers to follow them.

And when they don’t there is a punishment employed.

What evidence? Lay it out. All we have is an accusation. That immediately rises to “I know it happened”? Here’s the scoop. Whether it happened or not…who knows. The only way there is evidence that it happened is if Morey/Harden/Josh Harris were fucking stupid.

 

[thunderc]

And when they don’t there is a punishment employed.

Yes I expect there will be, you may not like it though. I have no problem with any punishment imposed on rules breakers, doesn’t matter the team.

I’d love a penalty for tanking

That’s harder to prove on some level
