I like this idea, too. But there will just be tanking for cap space, Philly-style. It does reward fiscally responsible management. But it can...
Fair points, all around. The wheel concept unties drafting from team record. And as you and the Grantland article note, missing on a pick can...
When have the Rockets or Houston really been darlings of a sports league, recently? There were haters in the '90s. This ain't news.
That is actually part his point. The lottery/record-based reward system rewards tanking by making tanking the most statistically probably means...
??? Don't be so freaking insecure. The whole patch thing is just the NBA borrowing good ideas from other leagues. Building team loyalty among...
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Why must the Rocket enemies embody concepts I like?! I hope their model succeeds. The NBA needs to be shaken-up....
I don't blame the guy for making a math decision. But, I am wondering why Morey and the team didn't want to risk more of the MLE or cap room on...
It'll be comical watching 8 or more teams playing each other with each team trying to hand the win to the other. :grin:
Glad the league is moving to reform the system, but so long as there is a lottery, there will be tanking. The only question is where the tanks...

Might DMo be the next man up? Can't see the game but the production looks to be there. How does he look? Staying on his feet? Boxing out?...
One is an emotional head case. The other a reputed locker room and on-court glue guy. I am not surprised the world isn't knocking at...
The Rockets are gonna have to gamble money (and flexibility) on one of these guys if they want them to come over. Why would a guy leave for less...
What is with this "typical CF" crap? There is not "typical CF". What you have is over 50,000 people registered on a message board. At any given...
Yeah, Harden was schemed out of the picture. It was a beautiful triangle formed behind Matthews at all times. The Rockets didn't counter with...
Dorsey brings toughness and physicality, but the signing could also help team chemistry, especially if Papanikolaou comes over.
YES!!! I think this is what Morey is moneyballing for. Flexibility, cap-allocation, and all that is about paying for the skills they need at the...
