There is already talk about some players starting their own league.

Kyrie fantasized about that but it's not anything that's in the works.

Is the NBA sustainable? Every year players have a more inflated sense of what they think they are worth. Contracts are getting larger and larger for stars. Role players want a bigger and bigger piece too. There is only so much pie.

I know, however, there is a ton of money that to be made by competing with NCAA round ball.

Over time you will see more and more EX Players involved in ownership in fact Portland should use that as an enticer for star FA's. Under the table shit.....you know

I kind of think not as much as some think?
Colleges are linked to towns and people who attend them. The fans they bring are people who either live in that area or have attended that college. If you make a lesser league of players 17-22 years old and call it lets say the Oregon Trailers that league will not garner the same attention from Oregonians as the colleges have done this past week.
Seriously Ducks and Beaver fans come out of the wood work for a NCAA run but never watch a game all season.
 
How long until we just go over to virtual athletes completely? No more millions. Players that are just random numbers generated by AI. No more refs. No more bullshit. Just get it done!

True, but if all the best players would go to a minor league for bucks, the you end up with teams like Kansas, Duke & Kentucky out of the March madness. TV contacts is what makes March madness revenue wise.
If its Oregon playing Oregon State for the National Championship someone losing a ton of money.

You know i wonder about that also.
I would still watch my Beavers to see how they are doing? There is something about my Alma Mater that keeps me watching?
 
It would be my hope, that if the Spurs thought LaMarshmallow was heading toward the L*kers (I don't type profanities), they would just let him sit the entire year. Talk about a buyout this summer. My assumption is they hate the L*kers as much as we do.

I think the league would frown upon that, and the NBAPA (or whatever the players association is called) would have a conpition fit.

Why are they forced to buy him out? They can sit him, pay him and there's nothing the League or the NBAPA can do about it. Pops is a salty guy. I'm pretty sure how anyone else feels doesn't matter a whit to him.
