SheaWeber6 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sigh.... The NBA is just becoming like the MLB now, what a lopsided league this has become and it really sucks for me because I am a Raptors fan, it must be nice to be one of the stacked teams in the league...

UMB Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah with all these players teaming up and going to one team....in the MLB if you city has money you are good because they don't have a cap, in the NBA players make insane amounts of money and the cap has exceptions and stuff so many teams can pull off multiple all star signings....in the NHL there is good balance and you won't be able to sign 5 stars without going over the cap, as the NHL has a hard cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league is predominantly Americans. No Americans in their right mind would choose Toronto before the US. Plus the Raptors blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksbiggestfan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Agent: Howard won't sign extension ESPN The Magazine | July 19, 2012 The agent for Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard refuted reports that his client has decided he will sign an extension with the Los Angeles Lakers -- if traded to them. "Dwight's position has remained unchanged since the end of this past season," said Dan Fegan of LaGardere Unlimited. "He fully intends to explore free agency at the end of next season, regardless of what team trades for him, including Brooklyn." A source said the Nets never insisted Howard commit to an extension as a prerequisite for acquiring him, which Nets president Billy King confirmed in a text message. Howard told the Magic, according to GM Rob Hennigan, he would like to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets above any other team. The Nets made concerted efforts to strike a deal for Howard earlier this month, but were forced to stop when the Charlotte Bobcats threatened to sign their restricted free agent center, Brook Lopez, to an offer sheet. Lopez was expected to be a key part of any deal with the Magic and signing an offer sheet could have preempted including him in any deal, depending on the terms of the offer sheet. The Nets then signed Lopez to a four-year, $61 million deal. Since then, the Lakers have become the primary suitor for Howard, recruiting both the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers as potential third-team participants to deliver the salary relief, draft picks and young talent that Orlando is seeking in return for their All-Star center. The longest Howard could sign an extension, according to ESPN Insider's Larry Coon, would be two years if he signed with Orlando and was traded, or three years if he signed after being traded. If he waits until his current deal expires, Howard would be eligible to sign a new five-year deal for as much as $108 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

light_kun Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/07/19/33799/?ls=iref:nbahpt2 The Board of Governors on Thursday voted to expand the use of instant replay beginning this season and indicated that advertisements on jerseys, a revolutionary idea for the league, will be coming as soon as 2013-14 While no vote was taken on putting advertisements on jerseys for the first time, the discussion in the ballroom inside the Encore hotel on the Strip showed a strong preference to move forward, deputy commissioner Adam Silver said. The final decision will likely come in an e-mail vote in September and be implemented for 2013-14, giving teams the chance to line up sponsors and uniform makers the time to add the patch of 2 ½ inches-by-2 ½ just above the heart. “My sense is that every team would do this in some form,” Silver said, indicating the mass support for the idea that has been years in coming, not to mention the mass support for the $100 million annually he estimates would be generated with the new revenue stream.
