This is awesome. But I have some changes. Offense first. QB: mewtwo. 200iq, big, strong, cocky. HB: Rapidash. Arcanine for 3rd downs. WR1: Haunter. Impossible to jam. Talks crazy trash. Big strong hands. Diva WR2: Dragonite. The yin to Haunters yang. Glue guy. Here’s mine:

I’ve always wondered why Euroleague salaries aren’t public. Not because the fans need to know how much is in someone’s bank account, but because salary is a part of the context of professional basketball. If a player is making 500K and playing like a 1.5M player or greater, fans should know that. That should be celebrated! If someone is making 2M and struggling, fans should have that context too. For players, I think it matters even more. Especially in a league without a traditional hard salary cap, each team has their own budget and the actual market can be difficult to gauge. If Player X averages less stats than me but makes twice as much, why should I accept half the money because I’m told “that’s your market value”? You can’t negotiate your value if you don’t know the market. On the same hand, the transparency could be great for the league. Salaries create conversations, debates, and storylines. More conversations creates more engagement, which equals more value for the league. Put the numbers out there. Players, coaches, everyone. Give the fans more context, give the players more information, and give the Euroleague another way to grow its product. What y’all think?

סל האליפות של פנרבחצ'ה. הם לא עושים עבירה, ביברוביץ' חוטף, בולדווין במהלך מדהים, ביברוביץ' עם השלשה. ככה לוקחים אליפות. מהלך מטורף של וויד.
