>the women play better than the men
top lol
it's a spectacle to see a women even dunk; what skill do they possess that men don't?

they should just identify as male. problem solved.

>Be Sixers
>Misses the playoffs barely because lack of shooting
Also no Giannis for you either you delusional goofs.

>"Where a guy is perfectly healthy and has a couple years left on his deal and says, 'I want to leave.' That's a real problem that the league has to address and that the players have to be careful with.

"When you sign on that dotted line, you owe your effort and your play to that team, to that city, to the fans. And then it's completely your right to leave as a free agent. But if you sign the contract, then you should be bound to that contract."

But when a team trades a player like cattle to as far as the ass of Canada then they are just acting in their best interests aren't they, Steve? Moron.

I really hope nobody in this general rates Lonzo above my white son Benjamin David Simmons...

I swear they are looking like a confederate flag more and more every season.

PELICANS will win their first title in 2022-23, cap this shit.

The league still runs through Trono

The fans are more important than the players you fucking negroid. Nobody cares about the owners or team management, but their interests just happen to usually align with the fans’ interests. If it becomes a regular occurrence that players sign supermaxes with small teams and leave for one of 4 teams after a year, the league will be in very big trouble

Ben simmons is the GOAT because he won the most, and thats all that matters

what the WNBA players are actually asking for is a fair split of WNBA revenue. They want to get the same proportion of WNBA revenue as NBA players get of NBA revenue, not the same amount of money

I know people don't actually care they just want to make fun of women but still

Which of Denver, Utah, the LA teams, Houston and Portland are they better than

How much less are they getting paid than if they were getting the same proportion as nba players

NBA players get 50% of basketball related income. WNBA players get somewhere around 20 or 25% of basketball related income. So it's a big difference.

The WNBA says it has lost significant money the last 22 years, including $12 million last season. "On average (we've lost) over $10 million every year we've operated," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told The Associated Press in October. Attendance across the league was down nearly an average of 1,000 fans per game.

What would be my ideal team in the NBA?
I want
> Loser team
> Pathetic Team
> Team that has never wins a Championship
> Team with a very weak and very poor fan base
> Team with very low attendance at their Arena
> Team without any important achievement
> Team That Always Live Under the Shadow of a Most Popular, Most Successful and Most Winning MLS Soccer Team

I fundamentally don't trust anything that a sports league says about its profitability, especially when it's said around contract negotiation time. Next CBA negotiation cycle, Silver is probably going to say that half of the NBA is losing money, too. Are you going to believe him then?

Go away. Fuck off.

How do I get back into basketball after not watching for years? I don’t really like my home team

Atlanta

Start playing basketball. That’s why I like watching.

Well the numbers line up with what he said though. Also I believe Ive read somewhere that there are more teams that operate at a loss of money than those in the positive in the NBA. But it's not as big of a problem because of the big market teams. They make up for the bad/small market teams.

The WNBA doesn't have the Lakers or Celtics or anything like that to balance it out. My guess would be you can find more athleticism in a pick up game in Wisconsin with 14 yr old white kids playing.

3: probably true
4: true
5: untrue
6: KAT's definitely good, the jury's still out on Booker
7: You might actually be right about that, but Kemba and Kyrie are at least in the same tier as Dipo. Lowry, Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon are also gonna be challenging for that title.
8: Almost 100% true
9: At the moment, definitely true. We'll see about it next year.
10: Definitely not a contender without Klay.

Those are some edgy and controversial statements you made, with the obvious intent of just trying to be edgy and insulting to people who think differently than you, but your percentage of accuracy is surprisingly high for a troll.

>Do you actually think that the average player in 1962 was as good as the average player in 2019?


people never specify this
are we taking the average '62 player and putting him on a 2019 roster or sending the 2019 player back to 1962?

Since this is wilt user, and everything that he posts is to bolster his argument that Wilt is the GOAT, I assume the point of the argument is that Wilt's competition was good and the numbers that Wilt put up were meaningful. Which means that we have to look at the players from 1962 the way that they were then, when Wilt was playing against them.

Oh noooo wilt would not be able to dominate in this "small ball" era.

What should I eat for lunch today bros?

This is a common fallacy. If those players from the 60s era came to play in the current era, then they would have the same developmental tools, training, diet, etc that current players enjoy. In the end, there wouldn't be much of a difference. In any case, players in the 50s and 60s still were in great condition.

>The rookie minimum is $41,965 in base salary, a number Taurasi said is less than what a janitor at the arena would make. It’s unfair, she said, given that players such as the Mercury’s Brittney Griner are asked to “carry the league” when they come in.

>As with many WNBA stars, Taurasi plays overseas in the league’s offseason to offset her $117,500 base max salary and makes around $1.5 million from her Russian team.

>We had to go to a communist country to get paid like capitalists, which is so backward to everything that was in the history books in sixth grade. And even then, even within our pay scale, it doesn't make sense. On a team, you could have seven players making the same amount of money. That doesn't make sense to me.

>muh no shooters
Everyone in the Sixers' starting 5 (save for Ben Simmons, because he's an unknown) has a decent outside shot and a much better midrange shot. On top of that, the starting 5 will probably be far more load managed this year, so we'll see more bench players: Mike Scott (one of the best bench shooters in the league, mind you), Zhaire Smith, Matisse Thybulle, James Ennis, Marial Shayok, Jonah Bolden, Shake Milton... all good shooters. I don't know where this 'Sixers have no shooters' meme came from but it's likely simply just bait because I can't fathom a team WITH shooters if not the Sixers.
>missing the playoffs
Sixers? Missing the playoffs? In this East? kek. There's like, 3 really good teams? The Bucks, the Sixers, and the Nets. The Pacers are a big question mark because of Dipo. All the other teams are middling/not that good. I think the Sixers would have to go full Process and actually flat out tank to miss the playoffs this year. As long as they're trying to win, I'd peg them at 4 seed at the lowest.

but everything else matters not just whats on the court

almost all human activity gets better with time over generations, so the claim of taking a 2019 Gleague player skillset to 1962 and it would dominate is technically true.
but you also have to include the 2019 mindset that likely couldnt last a week in 1962.

WNBA teams should play against G League teams.

yes, it's true that any good WNBA player could make way more money playing in Europe but that kind of sucks

Decent outside shooting is generous, and decent isn't enough. Midrange is inefficient, especially without good spacing. Simmons is not an unknown. It's been three years, we've seen what kind of player he is.
>On top of that, the starting 5 will probably be far more load managed this year, so we'll see more bench players

And people would pay for that, more revenue, more money dykes get paid and we get to see them humiliated

Not taking a stance here, but there's a difference between income and profit.

The thing is, is that it's split up like that precisely because it is a much smaller pie than the NBA. Owners are putting up money for what? So some dykes can keep finger banging her teammates and play basketball in empty stadiums?

kawhi the type of guy that wants to play monopoly until the game actually ends

Why did Laker fans try to say Lakers were kawhis favorite team growing up? Paul George too. It's been known for years Paul George was a clippers fan growing up. Kawhi wasn't a Laker fans either but no clue what team he was a fan of.

Clearly Kawhi was a bandwagoner and just liked players rather than teams

Kawhi was a Melo and AI fan growing up.

Better than Whataburger atleast.

>The thing is, is that it's split up like that precisely because it is a much smaller pie than the NBA

That's a terrible argument. Obviously the pie is much smaller, but why does that also mean that they should get a much smaller slice of the pie?

I just don't believe anything that a sports league says about its profitability. Every league acts poor and says that they're losing massive amounts of cash when players ask to be paid. You can prove just about anything with enough accounting tricks.

That's profit, dummy. Income is what you get from ticket sales, merchandising, etc. There's still income, just not enough to offset the operating costs.

People don't understand In N Out and that's OK. It's not De'Aaron Fox fault he's not from the West Coast. In N Out doesn't have the most amazing burgers in the world and you're not going to come every time you eat them

but they're cheap, they're really good, and you can have them for breakfast lunch and dinner every day and not get tired of em. Five Guys you get a burger it costs 15 bucks and you can't go back to 5 Guys for another month

>Every league acts poor and says that they're losing massive amounts of cash when players ask to be paid.

Not the guy youre arguing with but it's safe to assume Ben Simmons jump shot will never be anything more than bad. There's been 0 indications that Ben Simmons will actually learn how to shoot properly. His form was and continues to be what is glaringly bad about it.

I dont believe in players that can't be out there in the final 2 minutes of a game.

He should quit pretending he's something that he is not and permanently play PF. He could be so much better if he would do that. His strengths can then mitigate his weaknesses.

I can see why

theres a five guys beside my house but i never go
what should i get?

Bullshit you stopped reading. You couldn't come up with an argument and quit on a technicality. He's been in the league for three years, if he hasn't worked up the courage to even take a shot at this point in his career, he's never going to be a good shooter.

Beal literally gets to sit in the draft board discussions. They want to pay him the big bucks but they know they need to draft someone good to help him. I'm not sure he's going to leave, but if they keep fucking up drafts -- and with Sashi Brown aboard that's pretty inevitable -- he'll probably bail. For a west coast team.

So the Pelicans why not.

.....................
the two Memphis Grizzlies players, who are actually friends, scuffled over a debt of $7,500 that OJ Mayo owed to Allen after losing in the card game Bourre.

Tony Allen, regarded as one of the toughest guys in the league, tried to avoid a confrontation, but Mayo trash-talked Allen for roughly 15 minutes, criticizing his game, bragging about how he was a better basketball player than Allen, about how he was a lottery pick.

Allen was especially bothered by Mayo's chatter because they have a friendly relationship. Zach Randolph tried to play peacemaker, telling Mayo to stop ribbing Allen, but to no avail.

Finally, Allen had enough and struck Mayo in the face. He then landed a succession of blows to Mayo's eye, mouth, shoulder and the side of his head. Mayo was able to get off a swing, but Allen ducked to avoid it and then clocked Mayo once more for good measure.

WNBA players getting a fair split of *revenue* would lead to them making like twice as much as they do now. The WNBA makes a lot of money by all visible accounting, even before you take into account whatever money the NBA allegedly throws their way.

The problem - according to the league and the teams - is that the fixed costs of operating the league are apparently too high for that to be practical. But if you just look at the money the league takes in, based on ESPN money, attendance, corporate sponsorships, stuff like that - WNBA players get a significantly smaller share of that money than NBA players do by any reasonable estimate.

I don't understand why anyone would re sign with that team if they had any other option

Obviously, but if there is no profit and they want more of the income that's just going to create more negative profit. This just seems like fast way for the league to fold.

what are you talking about. it wouldn't shock me if the nba paid espn to air it. it doesn't make money. they recently moved to smaller venues because it just wasn't viable anymore to host them at freakin' madison square garden etc..

AD is a bust.

AD is a fag.

AD is a bitch.

AD is a bum.

Yeah that's a function of economy of scale. NBA teams make enough in revenue to pay for all of their operations, so there's more left over for the players. WNBA doesn't cover its operations, so paying the players happens at the lowest bracket of pay.

This is the retarded aspect of any equity argument. For the league it would make more sense to go to the NBPA and say "hey we're just going to cut you to 20% of revenue because women are bitching again" but the NBPA would say "fuck that" and because they own the market, they win.

We have literally seen high schools shut down athletic programs because the girls' programs can't self-sustain and Title IX requires an even number of teams.

>In businesses, income can refer to a company's remaining revenues after paying all expenses and taxes.


that's revenue retard income is interchangeable with profit for a business

Holy shit does someone think the amount of proceeds equals income?

Income = revenue - expenses

This is a fuckin technical term there’s no debate you god damn idiots

% of revenue for salaries makes no god damn sense because it ignores the capital structure of businesses

Lakersfans are dum dums

>it wouldn't shock me if the nba paid espn to air it. it doesn't make money.

this is something that you literally just made up out of thin air though

>NBA teams make enough in revenue to pay for all of their operations, so there's more left over for the players. WNBA doesn't cover its operations, so paying the players happens at the lowest bracket of pay.

Sure. That's the argument that actually makes sense. I have no idea whether or not it's true, because we have no actual access to WNBA books. We can estimate their revenue based on reported numbers but it's a lot harder to estimate their operating costs. But if it's true, fine, that makes sense.

But so much of this stuff is people just making stuff up because they don't like the WNBA. It's so dumb. People say things like "if the players got a proportionate share of the revenue to NBA players, they'd be making less". That is just categorically not true. People say that the WNBA players are demanding to make the same money as NBA players, which they have never done even for a second. People just completely make this stuff up.

>We have literally seen high schools shut down athletic programs because the girls' programs can't self-sustain and Title IX requires an even number of teams.

OK. Are high school sports programs supposed to self-sustaining based on revenue now? I sort of figured most high school sports programs were funded by their schools. And even if it's true, what does it have to do with the WNBA?

If you seriously think the WNBA in any way deserves more pay, please kys. Imagine employees demanding they get paid more by their employer despite the company losing money every year because nobody cares or wants their product.

>what does it have to do with the WNBA?

I mean if you want to talk finances we should specify that NBA players' compensation pools are built with net revenue, not gross revenue. As has been pointed out, WNBA doesn't really have net revenue, although it has gross revenue.

>OK. Are high school sports programs supposed to self-sustaining based on revenue now? I sort of figured most high school sports programs were funded by their schools. And even if it's true, what does it have to do with the WNBA?
It depends? Schools tend to fund 3-4 teams fully for both genders and then more or less rely on the others to fundraise for their gear.

I played baseball, basketball, and was a distance runner in high school. But that was because they shut down the boy's lacrosse and hockey teams because the girls' teams couldn't sustain their costs. Not because the boys' teams couldn't.

It's beginning to impact sports trajectories for boys; as "fringe" boys' sports are marginalized because of Title IX we lose the ability to produce as many top flight players in those sports, which results in less interest in those sports, which is a vicious cycle of sports death.

If you're cool with nothing but the big three (sorry, NHL) being left, I guess that's fine?

if the wnba was making any profit they wouldnt need the nba

i know you are arguing on accounting terms but you could both be right if you call revenue the gross income and profit the net income.

income as a word just means money coming in

Breh! How do you feel about specialized financial institutions in developing countries? I'm literally writing a paper on sovereign loan buydowns and development impact bonds for a not-for-profit right now.

I don't have an answer, that's why I'm not taking a stance. But it's not really all that unreasonable for them to want a more balanced pay rate. As is, most of them play overseas in the offseason, meaning that they don't rest properly and are more prone to injury. It's kind of a cyclical problem where they don't have time to rest and condition, so the level of play decreases.

Not my area of expertise, mostly private equity and real estate (securitizations).

In general, emerging markets are getting shafted by dollar-denominated bonds bc of strong dollar. That’s been the story in EM FX this year. Ofc you need to offset FX risk when an unreliable country has control of its currency.

In particular, depends on what specialized financial institution and their purpose. If you give more deets I would love to chat

Salaries as a percent of revenue (gross income) is ludicrous, plain and simple. It’s a non-argument.

Man my skin roasts when I go outside. What are /nba/'s thoughts on climate change? Are we a green gen?

Preface: I'm a researcher, no formal finance background.

I'm working with an organization that provides micronutrient initiatives for developing countries. In particular they provide iodized salt, vitamin A, and iron enriched salt to children in the first 1000 days of life and during adolescence. They asked me to take a peek at innovative funding solutions to see if anything can be applicable to their current funding model.

My two cents is that sovereign loans are literally neocolonial slavery, while buydowns are unsustainable and primarily superficial. Sure, better access to immediate capital, but that isn't going to provide relief from trillions of compounded debt from corrupt governments. Development bonds are more about private organizations purchasing infrastructure, which I support, but the mechanism leans more to privatization in the context of ownership over a water supply, which my organization doesn't like.

Where I'm at are SFI's but most of the literature I can find is from Palestine and India, and to be frank, it's poorly written. What I've gathered is that they provide medium and long term loans to specialized areas like agriculture or development initiatives, but what I don't understand is how they actually get money. Something something government?

I honestly just need a rundown on the positives and negatives associated with them. My recommendations are probably going to be a human-centeric consultation with the region, but I honestly think all of these are bad solutions for the client if they want long term change. I'm building a logic model for their future development, but it's tough since they're super fucking humble and are mostly accepting of devastating poverty.

It's official. The East still runs through Toronto

Attached: j3d8yqest9c31.jpg (720x900, 64K)

wnba players get paid more than G league they should be thanking the jew daily for that

While they may look like ‘neocolonial slavery’ on face value, that is too simple of an explanation.


Capital markets are rather efficient. If you are paying high interest rates but you’re credit worthy and deserve to pay a low interest rate, then someone else will do that deal with you.

So it wouldn’t make sense for high rates to subsist.

To understand this, consider the general risks of repayment for loans. Take a developing country, let’s say Argentina.

Argentina can print currency to pay off their loan. They also have a history of going bankrupt. They will then have to pay a lot.

There is also a problem w their currency - not widely used - so risk from transferring it.

Political risk

Collateral risk - what assets do you get in return?

You should read in general about credit rating standards for developing nations.

The standards seem neocolonialist because the debtors are unreliable and extremely risky. It’s like saying credit cards high rates are racist bc minorities use them - nah, that’s just the only way to price their risk.

Who has the biggest cock in the nba, sp? Imagine this man destroying your wife

Attached: 1561175318607.jpg (2048x2048, 934K)

It definitely is a problem in that credit histories are based off of the history of a borrowers creditworthiness so countries get screwed.

Consider securing the project by having sponsors in developed countries or assets in developed countries. The superior legal system and recourse would decrease the cost of debt.

Secure the project with any collateral the project uses, have some equity from donors, etc

my wife is a guy

who else is going to talk about it
athenians been scheming and dipping on that sweet delian money back when americans were dancing to bring the rain

Oh, I'm not jerking off about it, I already know exactly what you're saying, but the country in particular has devalued the fuck out of their currency to print more money in order to pay off the debt. I essentialized it real hard for brevity; shit won't work for my multinational client because the government in the region will embezzle the money, and we're only talking $50 million per annum on my end.

I'm mostly interested in SFI's and how they are financed, as well as the positives and negatives. My report is way less biased than my filthy phone posting.

How come Kawhi wants to be in LA around the people he grew up with but Kevin Durant said he would never play in DC for that exact reason?

It’s a clear contrast between an alpha autist and a beta autist.

How much does a researcher in a position like yours get paid?

I understand the point that you're making. I agree with the point you're making. If the claims that the league is making about WNBA financials are accurate, then that would be a compelling argument against increasing WNBA players' pay.

What I object to is the other arguments that people make that are objectively false. The arguments that what they make is already in line with the league's revenue compared to the proportion earned by NBA players, or that the WNBA players are demanding to be paid the same absolute amount as NBA players.

The other disagreement is that I'm not inclined to take any league's statement on its financials at face value.

I mean Detroit, Boston and Indiana were all playoff teams, at least. Utah and Houston were playoffs teams. Kuzma and Randle were bright spots on their respective teams. Clearly they're not, like, all-stars but almost all of those players are capable of getting minutes on a contender if they aren't already doing so.

It's the worst USA roster for a serious competition in a long time probably but it's not like a lot of other countries have that many quality starters.

OKC's whining about PG is already obnoxious af. George gave them the excuse they wanted and needed to do a rebuild - even if he "forced" his way out, they could have easily flipped the PG haul for someone else good if they wanted to contend. Instead, OKC's decision was to dump their aging "franchise" player they were overpaying at the next possible opportunity.

Paul George basically gifted OKC a ton of assets through his retarded decision to re-sign with them and he's just got nothing bugt shit for it.

the only team with a chance to beat the US is Serbia. Not saying the games won't be closer with a lot of the top-tier guys bitching out on the team but Serbia really don't have the depth this US roster has. Serbia is like Teodosic, Bogdan, Bjelica, Jokic, and Boban, the rest is euroleague guys. When Jokic and Bogdan are off the court they won't have a lot. Spain are old af. Greece have Giannis (who will get fucked by FIBA rules btw) and like Tyler Dorsey or some shit. The rest of the teams don't matter. The leafs have a young team and might be competitive in a few years, and could make a run here, but aren't that good yet. No bench players.

desd

never forget that OKC was actively trying to dump salary even before PG requested a trade

Also remember that Boban can only play like 10 minutes a game

>>Daryl "MUH ANALYTICS" Morey believes Rockets can win a chip after signing Anthony Bennett, Tyson Chandler, Ben McLemore, and have two starting PG on the floor

Rockets do this every year - get fringe NBA players, often former busts, and see if they can make something of them and cut them if they can't. Sometimes it works (Gerald Green, Daniel House), a lot of the time it doesn't (MCW, Zhou Qi)

The exception is Chandler - he's just a backup for 10 minutes a game now Nene is gone.

i didnt know murray was a laff, i like him but yeah they have zero depth like said

10 quality minutes from a big is valuable

Its a lot easier for him with FIBA rules since he can camp the paint (no 3 seconds), and since you're allowed to goaltend after it touches/lands on the rim the rim(but not while its in the air on a downward path).

Exactly. OKC was begging for an excuse to blow it all up and this is letting them play the victim and it's annoying as fuck.

yup fuck em. less i know about players the better.

All this celebrating from the claps, meanwhile down the hall, one man is brewing his ultimate comeback SZN. Enjoy losing, kawhi, you fuck, because you're going to be losing for a looong time. I can't fucking wait till the season starts. Lakers in 3.

grizz?

The Cloppers building their own arena is the best news I heard in my entire life. Finally they can get the fuck out of Staples and take their selfies with them.

Only problem is that the arena will finish in 2024 when they will be in rebuild mode after getting 0 chips and Kawhi leaving their bum asses to go play for my rapties again.

They had a chance if Kevin Love stayed, now they lack shooters, passers, and efficient post scorers.

Which NBA player has the biggest cock?

For me, it's Westbrook. Imagine that man destroying your wifes pussy. JFC

I finished law school. Try as little as possible and just focus on networking. They want your money so they will not even feign failing you. Ride your C's and solid networking to a job rather than actually trying. Law School is bullshit and every case you study is fully summarized and mapped out online. Give no effort, broseph.

yes all those bruhs are worse than cp3...

Studies show taller men are less likely to have an above average penis, Rodman has a small penis and Magic was insecure about rumors spreading about his manhood being unimpressive.

cp3 has never won shit. He is nothing but a whiney cry baby bitch who has flamed out of literally every team he has ever been on. Meanwhile Curry is the best shooter of all time and a 3x nba champion. and that isn't even to talk about Magic or Nash or AI. Steve Francis was literally better than prime cp3. You're just a homer faggot, cp3 is total trash and makes his teams worse. t. has been to a conference final once hahahahaa

ur delusional bruh hahahahahahhaahahahahahah

curry the only one on that list better than CP3 and even that will only be certain when his career is over...

wern't you the fat guy in the clippers jersey at the anime expo? hahahah fucking neck beard. who the fuck lives in LA and watches anime

it was a mercy. like Kawhi winning you a title.

>Boi Pussy Mileage
yeee

Player Impact Plus Minus (PIPM) and Real Plus Minus (RPM) are better than Box Plus Minus but BPM has just been around longer. Luckily CP3 ranks very well in the more improved modern advanced statistics so it can be assumed that he is one of the best we've seen at the 1 position. A true generational talent if I might say.

Shame about his attitude and injuries

dont really know much about basketball so excuse my ignorance, but this guy is being hailed as the messiah himself here for the past few days since he helped his team win the u20 eu championship, claiming hes going to be drafted in the first round next year etc etc. what's the chance for someone like him actually doing well against 6'10 nigs from east coast? is the sports media here just circlejerking?

Leave while you can and don’t look back

He's legit, his dad is Goranac used to pay for the Yugoslavian national team. There was even some talks that Deni Avdija wanted to play for Serbia but in the end he had to play for Israel since he grew up there and served the military there or something like that. He kinda reminds me of Bodiroga, just more athletic. He's going to be a top 5 draft pick for sure and I can see him having an impact in the NBA.

see you tomorrow

How does it feel for 76ers fans to know that theyre losing their head strength and conditioning coach Todd Wright to the Clippers just because Ballmer is buying him out? Like Ballmer just showed up and said “hey heres twice what youre making now, come work for me”.

Is that what Simmons shooting the ball actually looks like? Fuck that form is ugly. Literally Joakim Noah-tier.

>Lakers in 3
You mean when they surrender after Anthony Day-to-Dayvis gets a booboo and lebron gets another groin strain from the rest of the team hanging off his jock? Probably a solid choice. Honestly, I would rather my team just bow out of the league rather than risking starting Jared Dudley.

Al Horford is Phillies best 3 point shooter. Let that sink in

4 languages arent that much to be honest.
Greek and English are expected anyways. So you just bring two languages to the table, and they better be Japanese, Russian or Arabic.
