I know folks don't like Jay Williams but he actually reiterated a point that gets missed sometimes...not every owner is trying to go all out to win a championship. You can spend under the cap, run the team incompetently and still turn a profit annually while also watching your team value (and net worth) increase with the popularity of the league across the globe.
Sure it sucks as a fan but that is the true "business" aspect of sports that sometimes gets lost when people get upset with ownership/management. The stakes for fans and owners/the FO aren't the same so naturally their viewpoints about what moves to make are sometimes misaligned.

The 2017-18 Nuggets also had Mudiay and Lyles on the team with Jokic and Murray. Pretty crazy.

Gotta increase those multiples and IRRs
. Sports really have become entrenched in the capitalist machine. Nothing is safe anymore.

It's kind of sad tbh. I feel like the offseason discussions we are about to embroiled in for the next few months are just as much about business as they are about basketball especially as teams maneuver around this CBA. We can kind of already see it with the Pelicans BI for #3 + filler talks. You only do that because you're ducking aprons and you don't have full faith in Zion moving forward.

Lowkey the league is forcing parity because of the money. But whatever, I am still gonna watch the games. Nothing we can do about it.

With the new cap rules there’s going to be a lot of parity

Called Jokic the worst MVP since Dave Cowens,
now he's tryna white wash it.

Nick wright and perk still need to be humbled. Lame they went to the lengths to discredit joker for some engagement.
Jokic better than me. He needs some brothas on his staff cause I would have had the cvs receipts ready.

They were a bottom 3rd defense when I made those posts and then they played much better defense.
Congrats to them

Kings vs. Warriors was good. Also Warriors vs. Lakers

Lakers-Warriors had the most game to game adjustments in a series. Celtics-Heat was probably the most entertaining because of the sheer stupidity of it all.

Hear there was quite a bit of bang bang gun violence in Denver after the game
