Russ plays out of his mind. Get's Paul George and Melo the next season.

James Harden has an incredible season. Get's Chris Paul.

Kawhi Leonard does everything on both sides of the ball at spectacular level  and gets..... Hey Kawhi who'd you guys get this offseason?

Thing is, I still half expect the Spurs to get the 2-3 seed.

I will amend to old, injured, or high-functioning alcoholic.

Speaking of, sounds like Thomas will be out until at least January so that's something.  We'll see what they can do with Calderon/Rose/Wade holding down the point.

This is my sixth time watching this...does he have a watch on his ankle? Can we get this man a job for life in the NBA?

The NBA needed a three-fourths majority to pass draft lottery reform, which is designed to discourage teams from tanking to pursue the best possible odds to select highest in the draft order.

The resting regulations deliver Silver the ability to fine teams for sitting healthy players in instances that include nationally televised games. That legislation needed a simple majority to pass.

The three teams with the worst records will share a 14 percent chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick, a change from the descending percentages of 25, 19.9, and 15.6 in the current system. Four teams -- increased from three -- will become part of the lottery draw, which means the No. 1 lottery seed could drop no further than fifth, No. 2 could drop no further than sixth, No. 3 no further than seventh, and No. 4 no further than eighth.

Some small-market teams were hesitant on the plan, because officials believed it ultimately limited their odds of acquiring elite talent because free agency has traditionally favored big-market teams.

In the new resting legislation, Silver will have the discretionary ability to fine teams for resting players in several instances, including sitting multiple players outside of unusual circumstances in a single game, and healthy players in nationally televised ESPN, ABC and TNT games.

When teams decide to rest players in games, they'll be encouraged to do so for home instead of away games. Star players sitting out are expected to be on the bench during games and encouraged to be accessible to fans for interaction before the game.

The NBA rid the 2017-18 season schedule of back-to-back games around nationally televised appearances, giving teams presumably less to sit out players for high-profile games.

The two sticking points I have are the 'encouraged' to be accessible to fans for interaction before the game. What the hell does that even mean. And second what would prevent a team from listing player a as injured and then sit player b who isn't injured even thou player a isn't really injured?
