crazy

wonder if the college payola has dried with all this legal/media exposure

some kids/families may not need/want it and/or want to play it straight maybe?

yeah i guess if you were strictly focusing on basketball development the g league wld be the way to go

also once u do that i guess u have access to getting money via signing with an agent/sneaker company/etc

presumably this will shuffle some big coaching talent to the g league pr quick

xp plus a basic g league salary. was listening to the open floor pod and ben golliver brought up some good points. basically the g league competition is much better than college (like dudes with fully formed bodies, etc) so these top prospects might just kind of blend in and may not dominate/stand out like they could in college + there's no exposure as currently constructed. I think this is a cool first step but they need to bring a lot more to the table if they are gonna convince kids to skip the opportunities that come from college ball.

but if the nba is gonna strike there's never been a better time

yeah suspect itll end up resembling a true minor league, like the nba will let teams draft hs kids again and they can use the g league to develop them if theyre not ready for the bigs

Sixers announce Joel Embiid will undergo surgery to repair an orbital fracture in his left eye. Timetable TBD.

Pending the results of surgery, Embiid could return to play in 2-4 weeks, per league source. First round obviously in some jeopardy.

sixers cooked if joel doesnt play in the 1st round

this is also bad for the celtics hopes of getting on the other side of the east bracket from bron

We’re gonna get masked embiid for the offs

yeesh stupid fultz just smacked him in the face

fultz shoulder kept him out almost the whole season now its got embiid out for the rest

he really followed through and kept his arms high at least

IT out 4 months. Wonder what kind of offers he will get.

they're.....not going to be good

everyone is injured

except lebron lol what a machine

good year for houston to have nearly impeccable health down the stretch

CP hammy could be a thing tho

westbrook is just complete trash close and late

my guy dejounte had him WRAPT. UP.

i could also wrap up a dude who had no better moves than rushed 30-footers.

heh, well i meant throughout the game. he's beasting on dudes defensively

WTF was KD just ejected for?

He offered to buy him some taco Bell.

Kevin Durant's ejections by season his 11 years

The NBA season has been a bummer w/injuries but the weird Drosing of Kawhi has been the biggest bummer of all.
