It's important to stay up with the new Big3 league. I'm just kidding. I like basketball so I'd probably watch the olympic event.JCSunsfan wrote:Stupid. They drop wrestling which is a classic Olympic sport and add 3 on 3 basketball -- a form of basketball that is not played in any real league anywhere.

At the collegiate level. 3-on-3 doesn't even have that.O_Gardino wrote:Is wresting played in a "real league"?JCSunsfan wrote:Stupid.

Dwyer used to be one of my favorite bball writers, but he seemed to become a lot more bitter and weird over the last few years.carey wrote:Yahoo let Kelly Dwyer go. Kind of a bummer. He wrote one of my favorite Suns things that was my signature at the old site for a long time. It was when the year's slogan was "Eyes on the prize." He wrote that Sarver may have one eye on the prize but the other one firmly on the bottom line. It was after we had made a bunch of cost saving moves that ultimately sacrificed talent. I think this probably has something to do with the rumors that ESPN poached Woj from Yahoo with some of the Vertical staff.
When did they do that? Just read his draft tiers column yesterday and his Twitter still has his bio as working for ESPN. Maybe you're thinking of someone else? Chris Broussard maybe?Shabazz wrote:I think you're right about the rumors. With Woj leaving, I think Yahoo is going to shutter most of its BBall editorial content. I wonder if Woj is taking Shams Charnia with him and I also wonder what this means for DraftExpress, which is partnered with The Vertical. ESPN let Chad Ford go. Do they absorb DX too?
Oh really? What a bummer for him.Split T wrote:They announced Chad Ford was being let go with all the other layoffs, they are just keeping him until the draft is over

And direct-to-NBA would be bad for both leagues. I don't get the "she was asking for it" analogy and I don't have any tolerance for rape culture.
B) 2 years in NCAA doesn't mean I think NCAA athletes should work for free. I don't mind if the NCAA came up with some kind of revenue sharing for basketball players.
C) They could go to the D-League if they want. Whatever the D-League pays, fine. But I think a lot of them would stay in college even if the NCAA paid less.![]()
If you have already proven yourself enough where an NBA team wants to use their pick, and guaranteed millions of dollars on you, what else do you have to prove?
I don't mind a lewd joke, but I just didn't think this one was particularly clever or well written.Are you saying you're above silly jokes?
My apologies for posting it in our draft threadShelC wrote:Yea was going to post this but wasn't sure where. Do we need a separate general draft thread or just use this?
Philly supposedly really likes Fultz.
