@NataTheScribe Honestly don’t see it happening. Everything the NFL does is built around pushing teams to .500/parody, which has been a massively successful plan financially

@NataTheScribe Respectfully, cutting some revenue to selected teams in a billion dollar league is not the answer either. Investors (owners) WANT to make money. WANT the prestige of being a winner. Tanking is not an issue.

@NataTheScribe Except without the revenue, they have little chance of making significant improvement. Top players demand astronomical salaries. Can’t pay? They won’t play. Plus the draft needs fixing. Look at the Hornets. Always on the bottom. But rarely at the top of the draft. No chance.

Tanking fix: Teams that miss the NBA playoffs should get a smaller distribution of TV revenue. Other tanking fixes only focus on discouraging losing, not on encouraging win for the teams that might end up in the lottery.

The #NFL is the most successful sports league in American history. Here is a way it can become even better. @GetUpESPN https://t.co/Qc9PfMVNmU

NEWS: Boogie Fland is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and will not participate in the remainder of the NBA draft combine, his agent Mike Miller told ESPN. Fland entered the NCAA transfer portal after his freshman season at Arkansas. https://t.co/7vISs5gbdL

"We are lucky to have [Miles Bridges]. I am lucky to be able to coach him. When your best players are stepping up to the plate, saying the right things, doing the right things and playing the right way for the majority of the game, it becomes contagious."

"Isn't there something wrong when Utah, Washington and Charlotte can't win the freaking lottery or don't have the chance to get the top 3 picks?... Isn't it time we pass on the lottery and give those worst team the best chance to get the 1 pick." -@MadDogUnleashed https://t.co/U2kVlzVGYJ

@NataTheScribe If it was just them getting the pick with the 1%…fine. But how it’s directly connected w/ the most unexplainable trade of our lifetimes is too much to call a huge coincidence. Call it a conspiracy but them pulling strings is way more likely than this big of a coincidence imo

@NataTheScribe VJ/Tre/Kon*... as you said yesterday.

Tre Johnson lighting up the combine is something for Hornets fans to watch. He’s going to continue to rise as the draft process unfolds, potentially as high as number three to Philly. Edgecombe is the consensus pick right now, but this will be fluid for the next month or so.
