"Last week, NBA commissioner and Tim Burton character Adam Silver informed the general public that he intended to do something about it. Will Silver simplify the byzantine rules surrounding protected draft picks? Might he even get rid of the draft altogether? Pfft. Pish posh. Did you really expect a lawyer to make things less complicated? No, instead the NBA has proposed even more rules on top of all of those other rules."
"We wrapped up the Winter Olympics, spent a brief moment ruminating over how the Trump people went about ruining the good vibes those games elicited, and we both agreed with Pat Riley that NBA coaches should wear fancy suits again, if only because it's more fun to watch a grown man roid out on the sideline while clad in Armani rather than in athleisure."
The NBA has experienced declining performance from teams like the Jazz, Kings, Wizards, and Nets, resulting in poor television quality. Commissioner Adam Silver announced intentions to address these issues. Rather than simplifying the complex rules governing protected draft picks or eliminating the draft entirely, the NBA has proposed adding more regulations to existing rules. The podcast examines whether these new tweaks represent effective solutions. The episode also covers Winter Olympics coverage, discusses how political figures affected the games' positive atmosphere, and explores the aesthetic preference for NBA coaches wearing formal suits instead of athletic wear. Additional segments include responses to listener questions.
