Man the NBA CBA confuses the hell outta me. I've no idea how it works.
How do waivers even work? They obviously don't go to the DL or anything.
Interesting article about how some front offices in the NBA are maneuvering in a league clearly tilted toward two powerhouse teams right now. First guy mentioned? Masai Ujiri.

I can't speak as to what kind of job he's done in Toronto, but I still feel like the Nuggets lost out on something big simply because they didn't want to pony up a fraction of the money they pay their players.
I dunno. Obviously it's better to be a raptors fan than a nuggets fan right now. Since winning a playoff series is better than not being in the playoffs. But the raptors season is guaranteed to end quickly when they met the Cavs and probably if when they meet the Celtics.
They might not even make the playoffs if they played in the west.
The NBA is basically dead at least until Lebron's contract is up. Then it will be interesting. As for the nuggets they are stuck in no mans land of not being terrible and not being good. And they aren't a destination for free agents.

Could not disagree more. I grew up watching the NBA in the 80s, arguably that league's greatest era. So much talent and so much good basketball, yet the landscape was dominated by two iconic teams no one could even touch, but that didn't take away from the sheer enjoyment of watching the games.
The Nuggets were competitive while not necessarily being contenders. They at least were a fun team to watch and made the playoffs more often than not (at least I believe so, too lazy to look it up). Everyone knew they stood zero chance against teams like Boston and L.A., didn't matter. While I'm a little annoyed at superstar players continually colluding with one another to build these mega-teams, that doesn't mean everyone else just has to give up. You can still put forth a good product that people will pay to see, and maybe finds its way to the promised land in the future.
Nuggets appear to have made some decent moves this offseason, finally moving on from the oft-injured Gallinari and making what looks like a pretty solid front court. Unfortunately this is the first real front office deftness I've witnessed from the Nuggets in a really, really long time. I feel like if Ujiri were still in charge moves like these would be the exception rather than the rule.
I like the concept of "front office skill." Does KSE value such things? Based on what I'm witnessing from the two local teams they own, the answer would be no.
hahaha GTFO. The Raptors would destroy the Celtics in a playoff series.
I'm going to see the Gold Cup games tonight. It's my first-ever soccer game. Pray for me.
They should've traded CarGo when they still had a chance. It was stupid to wait.
Cilic becomes the first Croatian tennis player to make the Wimbledon finals since Ivanisevic in 2001. Hopefully he finishes the job against Roger or Berdych.
I can't believe that Roger still has it in him to play at that level. He had the dip a few years back but he still is finding his way into finals years later.
At this point, CarGo is better off as defensive replacement late in the game. I don't know wtf happened to Tapia's defense, he was considered good in the minors.They should've traded CarGo when they still had a chance. It was stupid to wait.
