00:00I'm going to read you a quote that basically is exactly opposite of what this quote is supposed
00:05to say from Mr. Silver in the NBA. Ready for this one? Quote, what we've essentially done,
00:11and we have a proposal that we're going to be bringing to our team owners at the end of May,
00:15is to create a system of flat odds so that you have no particular incentive to be bad.
00:20And then he goes, yeah, the bottom three teams of the league have worse odds than the rest of the,
00:24that's flat odds, Kevin. Help me with the worst proposal you can possibly have that nobody will
00:31understand that says if you're really bad, you don't get this pick, but tank at the right time,
00:35you can get your pick, and away we go. What is the NBA doing here with us?
00:39No idea. No idea. Somehow Adam Silver has been convinced that the biggest issue in his entire
00:47sport is tanking, and it's not, by the way. And his plan is actually the worst teams will now have
00:59less of a chance to get the best players. Not the same chance, because to your point,
01:05that would be flat odds. No, no, no. The worst teams have a worse chance.
01:12So a team like the Brooklyn Nets are looking around and going, should we just move? Hey,
01:20do you want to cut the expansion out? Do you want us to become the Vegas Nets? Because what are
01:25we
01:25supposed to do? It's so bad. It's so foolish. And it's completely... But sometimes it feels like
01:34Adam Silver's too online, right? Or he's just listening to too many different shows where it's
01:39like, oh, they're complaining about tanking. Can we get people to complain about player health and
01:43back-to-backs then? And then Adam Silver can address the actual issues going on, or no?
