The NBA is so incredibly fortunate to have Steph and LeBron as the faces of the league

Did SI ever explain why they omitted Kaepernick (but included Goodell!?) on their protest cover?
"In some ways, even though his picture is not there, Colin Kaepernick is there.

Lmao yeah because the Rockets really would have beaten the Warriors with meloThis is completely inexcusable and unforgivable.
Congrats, Knicks for giving the Warriors their back-to-back titles for holding back your end of the deal until it died.

Supposedly a draft night deal(s) had both PG and Melo going to Cleveland was agreed to -- then fell through.
No idea how that would of effected the Kyrie/IT deal or other offseason signings - but imagine Kyrie, PG, Bron, Love.
Or even DRose, IT, DWade, PG, Melo, LeBron, Love. On one team?
After his near-deadly motorcycle accident, current ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Williams worked as a recruiter for Ceruzzi Sports and Entertainment from 2007 to 2009. He's seen the corrupt culture of college basketball firsthand, and has admittedly taken part in it.
After the FBI's bombshell announcement and indictments of four assistant basketball coaches, Williams predicted a grim future for college basketball. He said he knew from experience. Williams dropped on live TV that he funneled $250,000 to Kevin Love's AAU coach, Pat Barrett, while serving as a representative for the sports agency.

In the new resting legislation, Silver will have the discretionary ability to fine teams for resting players in several instances, including sitting multiple players outside of unusual circumstances in a single game, and healthy players in nationally televised ESPN, ABC and TNT games.
When teams decide to rest players in games, they'll be encouraged to do so for home instead of away games. Star players sitting out are expected to be on the bench during games and encouraged to be accessible to fans for interaction before the game.
The NBA rid the 2017-18 season schedule of back-to-back games around nationally televised appearances, giving teams presumably less to sit out players for high-profile games.
Screw that. NBA shouldn't be able to tell teams how they deal with their players' minutes, or where those players would be allowed to rest.
Teams are trying to win championships, and rested players are better players. Screw the fans in Memphis, they can catch LeBron or KD on television.
I love how the other commissioners around the country are so inept that Adam Silver looks like a god by comparison.
Domestic Violence Suspended this amount of games
Substance abuse? That amount of games
Oh we should listen to our players and their concerns? okay
Weed use in the league? Probably in the next couple years
Gambling? Same thing
It's amazing
So rest them during a game that's not nationally televised. Doesn't seem like that tough of a compromise. If the NBA was forcing players to appear in 82 games, that would be unacceptable, but this is a fair solution so fans stay engaged and teams are still allowed to rest guys on less-important nights.

I'm fairly sure Kyrie would have been included in that draft night deal. He was already rumored (or outright confirmed?) to have been in the package just for Paul George.

Also, there are new rules regarding resting players, but we don't have details yet.
They also say rest players at home and not on the road. No way. Home fans are buying the tickets that pay the salaries. If I'm the owner, they're resting in someone else's building, not mine.
Yep that part in particular is upsetting. Rest them on the road.
The arguement is Cavs fans see Lebron (insert the star of your favourite team) play 41 times a year in Cleveland. They wont miss it much if he sits out 1 guarenteed win vs Chicago or Orlando ect. A fan of a Western Conference team may only have 1 chance at seeing Lebron play live per season. Its pretty crap for say Kings or Suns fans if your team plays 1 home game vs Lebron every year and he doesn't even show up.
I haven't read everything on it so maybe they have something to prevent this somehow, but what's stopping a coach from saying a guy just has a sore wrist and therefore can't play? Or he twisted his ankle in practice? Not sure how you can truly police this.
