Rumors speculate that Lebron and Draymond join Kyrie and Doncic in dallas at some point.

Lock him up.
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/04/runn...This is the best running summary of the new CBA that I have found. Not sure if anyone has anything better.
The last comment on that page is "Team and league licensing revenue will be added to the NBA’s Basketball Related Income for the first time." That could be a pretty cosmic shift depending on the percentage of licensing revenue includes in BRI.
No THC testing and they can invest in it.
WOW!
This is why I don't want to play the 76ers. We would be in foul trouble every game with this trash.

I want no part of the Harden/Refs lovefest in a playoff series
We already blaming refs for a series we have yet to qualify to play in?
We have won enought games to defy preseason logic (not just media BTW), and beaten good teams and we now using refs BEFORE to blame?
So basically we won many of those games because the refs were fair?
Is there a world were league wants Knicks to do well because it helps ratings?
Or thats just for other teams?

It's not that serious. We just want to avoid flopping teams.

Harden did make contact with his foot or close enough. Josh hart is pretty good at flopping also. Brunson takes a beating but at times does work the refs. We are not immune but its part of the game.
Admittingly Harden does look bad at times. But respect to his excellent season thus far and truth is I want no part of Philly in first round!

I mean does anyone really care what players get awards at the end of the year - I could give a crap….sincerely that’s never been something I thought mattered.
Even all the hand ringing over Brunson/Randle over the all-star selections —- who cares about the damn all star game - which is a travesty. Understand players use the awards for contracts but as fans and 98 % of the players who cares.
So league puts in 65 game requirement and you’ll immediately have guys playing 1 minute and subbing out to meet their requirement to win awards that are often a popularity contest.
Jokic is a GREAT player I don’t need a trophy to tell me that.

The guys who have incentives built into their contracts care.
I still think 65 games is a little too soft. And only the big time players care about those awards at the end of the season. I'd fine teams and threaten to take away picks if a player is sitting out games when he is healthy enough to play.
Curse Popovich forever for starting this load management crap!
