The exact opposite of Stern in his later years.
Silver has no backbone letting Golden State amass a super team when Stern would have prevented Durant from signing in the first place.
He gives no shit about discipline whatsoever.
Allows owners to step all over him
Allows half the league to tank with no repercussion
"Less people are watching the playoffs because no LeBron"
Letting LeBron run the cavs

Banning Sterling is the only good thing he's done. That should have been done decades ago but until toxic owners are executed by firing squad across all leagues this is as good as its going to get.

Silver is a puppet with no puppet master, limp.

Be glad the majority of NBA owners lack the vicious cunning of their NFL counterparts. Imagine what terror NFL owners could bring upon a league with an even weaker commissioner.

We The North!

Congrats Raptors!

Don't keep up with NBA all that much, but I'm happy to see a winning team in Toronto.

Hopefully I can see the same victory with the Blue Jays.

Just imagine how pissed Davis has to be when he could have got Zion as a teammate. What did they do to the man??
Also Lavar is probably foaming at the mouth in pure rage because his son got traded to a small market.
3 Firsts? It seems no one in Lakers management is smart. You do not offer 3 firsts for an angry star demanding to go to your team. You give them the minimum and say its either this or nothing.

That's a boatload. Pelicans definitely maxed Davis' value. Now watch all the big free agents flock to LA :roll:

Didn't know it was draft night. Btw why is there an error in this years draft? There's only 29 teams and the 3rd pick is held by an error. Is the league going to correct this problem or is this RJ Barret guy going to miss out on a career?

I think the Lakers gave up too much, but I get why. The Lakers don't want another Paul George situation where the guy falls in love with the team he went to and doesn't sign with LA.

But the new pelicans GM did a great job building a potential superpower so fast. Won't hate on him.

His front office couldn't keep Davis happy or at least wanting of a few more years in NO while he and Zion gel. Plenty of hate to go around, imo.
