Trusting the process, doubting the results

For sure. I think it all starts upstream with the cap, max salary slots, and guaranteed contracts. I’d like a system that also starts with eliminating max salaries and allows teams to buyout guys and get the money off the cap. Would suck for our pedo-supporting cheapo owner, but c’est la vie.

Your last point is a good one. I think I’m against the wheel mostly because of how much KOC stans for it.

Don't really agree unless there were some advantages built in to being a genuinely bad team. Tanking is bad but 10 teams in the league are going to be bad and should have paths to get good. Figure out a way where having a top 3 pick isn't the best (easiest?) way to be a contender.

How would that work? The wheel?

Agree, but then tanking becomes clearing salary to offer the most to the top rookies (I'm assuming with no draft there is no rookie salary scale). Makes it far more short-term I suppose, especially with the 90% salary floor.

The first option is very clearly the best for stopping tanking while being the worst for fan enjoyment/engagement. It simply makes it that much harder to go from bad to good! That is a bad thing!

I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.Matthew @MrWeir

I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'.

"Where are we off to now. Columbo?"

I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it.

I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

when people say "oh we gotta keep the tent open and yes they are bigoted but we should still have a dialogue," get a life. Would you actively have a conversation with a Dallas Cowboys fan???
