00:00So now Adam Silver has to go, you know what, we have to have a meeting here on how we're
00:04going to make this happen.
00:05And Shum Sharani tweets out, Commissioner Adam Silver informed the league's 30 general managers on Thursday
00:11that the NBA plans to make anti-tanking rule changes for the next season.
00:15So when you heard that come out, Joe, what was your first thoughts?
00:19Again, we're putting Band-Aids on open-heart surgery here.
00:23And what are we doing?
00:24I mean, there's a fundamental problem with what's going on here.
00:27And it all comes back to the same thing.
00:29And I thought that, you know, former Mavericks owner there said it very well
00:34that you make it financially impossible for teams to do anything other than tank to reset, right?
00:43You want a team to be competitive, but you so overreacted to the LeBrons and the banana boats and sipping
00:51wine.
00:51Like, you don't want all of these superstars playing together, right?
00:55You don't want them all forming in the team.
00:57So what did you do?
00:58You created all of these rules that now make it impossible for teams to actually afford
01:03to maintain a level of consistency while they try.
01:07And you made that impossible now.
01:10So now the only choice teams I have, you got to tank.
