Finally

He won't do anything.

Only thing you can do is put breaks in scheduling and they wont do that. You cant force the players to play with injuries and no matter what play in tournament, mid season tournament, etc they want to add it wont change that. Its just lip service at this point

It's the scheduling that causes the problem. You can't have teams playing btb in 4 consecutive days with travel. They can have full arenas if they play less games. Instead they chose to play more games with half empty arenas.

He is a pussy

He is the number one reason the NBA declined

[thomorino]

Silver will never stand up to the players, the networks complained to him so he's putting teams on notice.

[KVB]

He won't do anything.

I agree. WTF he gonna do except cut a deal wiht players over the schedule.

They should all take cuts, or at the very least, there should be a max amount allowed to pay a player, just like there is a minimum. Including, not a max percent, but an actual maximum dollar amount an agent can make off of a player. Flat rate, period.
Of course, with a potential COLA increase...

They can deal with revenue sharing with the owners.

all sports leagues are becoming pussʎ leagues.

I read the story earlier, pretty much what I thought.
"Nothing to see here"

[shadymcgrady]

To little to late, NBA is broken until divas like LeBron and harden retire or fade

[ChuckyTheGoat]

He won't do anything.

Bad product. Ben Simmons = poster-boy for the league.

[MinnesotaFats]

Well I believe sweeping changes are coming

Exactly this.
