Also, how can an opposing team even prepare for teams like the Spurs or Jazz? They have no clue what to expect.
This is what is happening with the Blazers also at this point. Look at the end of the Suns game. Lillard had three dudes on him with 10 seconds on the clock. Simons was sitting there almost alone. Suns were like "Lillard is taking this shot"! Well guess what?
With 7.2 seconds left on the clock Lillard was bumping chests with Ant! Here is another look at it. Hart was wide open as well.
 
It works well in European sports where there are multiple divisions (and no draft) but It wouldn't work at all the way the NBA is set up
I can just see it now… Players making 10m a year playing their first ever G-League game with record breaking G-League attendance of 3,000 people.

Teams who get relegated finish top 3 in the G-Leauge.

Promoted G-League teams being Damn near free wins for NBA teams who wish they didn’t have to play them because they want to lose and get the top draft pick.

Who gets the draft pick? The best G-League team? Or the Worst NBA Team?

I’m sure college players can’t wait to get drafted by a G-League team and get whooped all year, or drafted by an NBA team and spend their first year in the G-League.

Everything about it is bologna.

Edit: France League 1/2, EPL/Championship league, Eredivisie/ersteDivisie, Europa League/Europa Conference league. All of them do work out alright in soccer. Still can’t compare the sports/leagues.

The problem with what you're saying is, if any of these teams decide after seeing film that they can cover Dame with anyone one on one, then they're still fucked. The fact is we haven't had this well rounded of a starting lineup the entire time Dame's been here. We also have absolute dawgs on the bench and one more who has yet to play. I think our lack of size on the bench might be able to be exploited but other than that we're a pretty good team.
 
Got a little chippy in the heat raptors game. Looks like several heat players came off the bench. Going to be interesting to see what comes of it all.
 
The Jazz might not be as terrible as predicted.
They want to be. They just haven't gotten the right price for Conley, Clarkson and Olynik yet. I think they'll still be fun with all of the young talent they have but they'll start dropping games after they unload those guys.
 
Is Lauri Markkanen an all star this year?
With Markkanen, it’s always been a question of health. Also, I don’t think the Jazz’s record will be good enough in the West to merit an All-Star nod.
 
The thunder already sitting Shai, on the home opener no less. Silver needs to do something about them lol
 
I’d love to see Obi Toppin, Zion Williamson, shaedon sharpe and Bennedict Mathurin in the drunk contest. This is what the NBA should be pushing for.
 
kind of like Portland?
Even more so than Portland. The Jazz were thought to be one of the front runners in the Wembenyama sweepstakes. They still probably will be in the sweepstakes later in the season.
 
Sheesh, Golden State has given up 71 points to the Kings in the first half…

But the Kings have given up 89 points to the Warriors!

Billups has been the smartest coach in the league in how he keeps his challenge to the very end. Lots of these teams are using them way before they should be.
 
Ummm the Warriors have 89 pts at the half. That’s the most I’ve ever seen I think.
