Rofl you really think silver is gonna make up that some government official tried to pressure the NBA to fire Morey if it’s false that’s way more likely to cause China to boot the NBA

Chinese Authorities dispute Silver's claim that a request was made to fire Morey.

"But Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang
said on Friday that Beijing had never made such a demand."

I don't auto-believe a thing coming out of Adam Silver's mouth. Generally speaking, I think most adults are liars. Also, if Adam Silver decides to lie its not a "conspiracy". Its 1 guy bullshitting. That's not what a conspiracy is.

im on the side that they shouldve waited

to your point about waiting...

if China decides they want to spend a lot less money on the NBA the salary cap can fall and Max deals like the Siakam deal will land up taking up a higher % of the salary cap.

For the last few days we've heard the Pelicans emphasize the Williamson injury was not very serious. We heard he avoided anything really bad. Welp, Williamson had arthroscopic surgery on a torn meniscus in his right knee. Out 6-8 weeks.

Not a good sign. I was so hyped to see the Pelicans too.

I have come to really respect Lonzo btw: it must be pretty rough to come into the league with all those expectations to such a giant market and fail (lets face it - thats what he did in the beginning). Also humiliating to be dominated by guys like Beverly and brick free throws left and right. And now when I watch him in the preseason he legitimately looks scary and his shot actually looks good to me. He could have easily taken the Fultz route imo.
