I will admit I don't like the rule they made, but I agree with the purpose. The Lakers are holding onto Bynum for potential, not production, but yet he's still taking a roster spot from a player that could be very productive, (and make the NBA product better). So now the Lakers won't trade an ~8.5 ppg player for a future hall of famer and top 2 Pg?<BR/><BR/>Here's what the NBA SHOULD have done. Make a rule saying that all NBA players must have 2 years of "Developmental ball" experience before being on an NBA roster. D-Ball can be foreign pro leagues, NBA-D, Div-1 or 2 college ball etc. <BR/>This allows players not to be forced into college, but given the option of going there instead.<BR/><BR/>Then create the "LeBron Rule" which works similarly to the MLS "Beckham Rule." Allow every team one allotted "Youngster" slot and 3 "development slots" that say they can have one roster spot for someone who doesn't have the experience to normally be on the roster. The development spots allow them to put a player on an NBA-D team and still have their rights. These slots can be traded with no more than 2 "youngster's"on the same team. <BR/><BR/>Here you get the best of both worlds, all the great HS talents in the NBA (LeBron, Garnett, Kobe) would go straight to the NBA, the HSers who need to gain experience (Bynum, Jermaine O'Neil, etc) can develop and not rot on the bench making room for contributing role players, and Kids can still come out after HS and not basically be forced into college (which is not for everyone)Jibblescribbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833352311064492403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-9528292656325798262007-02-22T14:39:00.000-05:002007-02-22T14:39:00.000-05:00Nice of ESPN to finally pick up on this...Nice of ESPN to <I>finally</I> <A HREF="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2775250" REL="nofollow">pick up on this...</A>Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478232002387175988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-17893569159207154832007-02-22T14:36:00.000-05:002007-02-22T14:36:00.000-05:00FROM FOXSPORTS.COM..."Based on online sports traff...<B>FROM FOXSPORTS.COM</B>...<BR/><BR/><I>"Based on online sports traffic trends, which have shifted dramatically in the last year, more bloggers should soon be populating the SBJ (Sports Business Journal) list (That Deadspin's Will Lietch already populates).

No problem with...Regarding the women/men argument. No problem with women making what the men make. Totally fair and should've been done a long time ago. I do have issues with the fact that women's tennis is more "interesting" or has more "value" than the men's side? What's the reasoning behind that? Ratings for men's matches are higher. Women don't sell any more tickets. I just don't get where that comes from, over than the fact that you'd rather gawk at the women.<BR/><BR/>By the way Dan, care to revise this...<BR/><BR/>"NBA All-Star Weekend! I said this the moment they announced the game would be in Las Vegas: No matter what happens on the court, this is arguably the most exciting single moment for the league since Michael Jordan's final Finals game with the Bulls.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps we all need to actually be in Vegas to fully appreciate the scope of the pending debauchery, but I think we can all do it justice with our fantasies of the party scene, plus what shapes up to be epic reportage from the scene (particularly from bloggers, who can file the GOOD scoop).<BR/><BR/>The biggest upshot of the weekend is that it will be such a huge success that the city will not only earn an NBA franchise, but an NHL and MLB franchise, too."<BR/><BR/>It sounds as if it was a disaster. There has been no real good reporting that I've seen either. Do you think David Stern is in a hurry to go back to Vegas?The Poobahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813952311527096160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-43111935775220356282007-02-22T12:31:00.000-05:002007-02-22T12:31:00.000-05:00Anybody who questions D-Wade on the pain because h...Anybody who questions D-Wade on the pain because he was crying has never hurt their shoulder badly. When I was pitching in Little League I threw a fastball that shredded my rotator cuff ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I was in so much pain that I lost my peripheral vision and had to be carried off the field and taken straight to the ER.<BR/><BR/><B>As far as Women IN SPORTS goes...</B> I think it is simple. Saying they try very hard and should therefore be payed as much is just stupid. The guy on the end of the bench tries as much as the star player and they don't get payed the same. The women are just as entertaining? You need to watch more tennis. I once heard a female tennis broadcaster say that the top 100 male HIGH SCHOOL tennis players in the country could win most Women's grand slams. I can personally say that I played with a guy on my tennis team in HS who served over 100 on every first serve. Just like how SERENA crushes the other women. But he was more athletic. But he didn't scream as much.<BR/><BR/>SO HOW DO YOU GET THEIR PAY SCALE? Simple. Percentage of revenue. It's the only way. I like this also because if it was applied to the WNBA it would cause of the players to pay money to play because the league has lost money in every season but the first one.<BR/><BR/>CMFOST- on BC- see my post on Sunday at the beginning of the comments and just add V-TechGuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-62129323662141354592007-02-22T11:50:00.000-05:002007-02-22T11:50:00.000-05:00@Coco DWade is out 4-6 weeks , there goes my fanta...@Coco DWade is out 4-6 weeks , there goes my fantasy team unless Jose Calderon can step it up!!<BR/><BR/>FYI: Curt Schilling will file for free agency once the season is over after being told by Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein the team will not offer him a contract extension in spring training.<BR/><BR/>"Theo and I talked yesterday and Theo was upfront and honest," the 40-year-old pitcher said Thursday on WEEI-AM radio.

I hope he's okay. If the Lakers are going to give up Andrew Bynum they better get Kevin Garnett in return. J Kidd isn't enough to push the Laker's over the top. This is unrelated, but if its true that K G thinks that he shouldn't have to be traded because the Wolves should just build around him, then no one is aloud to feel sorry for him anymore. He deserves to stay in Minnesota with Kevin Mchale if he has that type of attitude this deep into his career. It's like he's the only one who can't see that the Wolves aren't going anywhere.CoCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580418511916359036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-9299832264379472282007-02-22T11:28:00.000-05:002007-02-22T11:28:00.000-05:00I don't see why women tennis players getting equal...I don't see why women tennis players getting equal prize money at Wimbleton as the men is such a negative thing to so many of you. They already do at all the other slams. And for those of you who would complain about working with someone who gets paid the same for 67% of the work, perhaps you should consider that on average women receive less compensation for doing the same job as men here in America. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it seems like most of the tennis players are fine with this, and I would think that their opinion should count for something here. Perhaps you should complain about the U.S. military too...the physical qualifications are different for men and women, and yet they are paid on the same scale.aikeharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129519727639271961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-72118601871276520502007-02-22T11:01:00.000-05:002007-02-22T11:01:00.000-05:00As long as the sexes are playing in separate tourn...As long as the sexes are playing in separate tournaments, their purses should be determined by what the market will bear, no?

When the women were preparing for the state finals (against a bigger, more physical team), they wanted a realistic physical challenge to practice against. So our top 10 women's team played the men's sophomore team (my dad was the coach of the men's team) and the men crushed them. It wasn't a matter of which team was better (clearly the women had a better team), it was a matter of physical ability.Natsfan74https://www.blogger.com/profile/02774593132826810650noreply@blogger.com
