Popovich is Right - The "Memphis is Rebuilding" Meme

Coach Popovich has gone on record as being critical of the Gasol trade because it stinks to high heaven. He suggests a Trade Committee to keep it clean.

He's right. The fact of the matter is that the NBA has become so ingrown, corrupt, and absurd in its own dealings that Congress ought to investigate whether it qualifies as a true sport any more. The inability for teams to compete for talent on an equal basis makes this a rigged game top to bottom. This is a sport that needs a shower.

The revolving door of NBA insiders lining each other's pockets and fortunes needs to be investigated. If these guys are true businessmen then they should be able to get jobs in MLB, the NFL, and in the general business community. Funny how rare that phenomenon is. The NBA needs a shakeout.

The game has become little more than a scheme to bamboozle innocent youth into believing what they see and spend on in fact has something to do with fair competition. Anyone with a brain can see this isn't true.

As for the Memphis did the trade to rebuild, the obvious question is "to rebuild what?" Memphis is little more than a placeholder franchise that never has any intention of winning anything accept by accident. Their role in the NBA is to feed parent teams talent every once in a while.

To believe that Memphis is rebuilding with Kwame Brown and a handful of salt is absurd and to believe that other NBA teams were incapable of offering better quality deals defies reality.

Rebuild what? The illusion of an NBA team? Please.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
