NBPA executive director: Ban Sarver for life
NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio told ESPN that the league's players are "incredibly upset" about the punishment given to Suns owner Robert Sarver, but there's been no discussion about boycotting games.
The players are flexing their muscle to pressure the owners to get rid of Sarver. He won't be missed

@canefan maybe this is a controversial view, but do we really think he should be banned for life, completely cancelled? I don't have access to all the detail of the accusations, and I don't want to diminish his actions, but he doesn't seem to be in the same league as Sterling. $10m and a 1yr ban isn't nothing!

It may all come out in the end. Whatever he's done has been enough to enrage the players

I wouldn't take whatever Lebron says publicly as evidence....and as someone else pointed out, CP3 had no issues playing there...
But yeah, maybe there is more to come out. Stephen A making some wild accusations around Sarver having dirt on other owners which resulted in a lesser sanction than Silver would have otherwise imposed....

@Magpie_in_aus I read Sohi's piece on the Ringer, was pretty disappointed to be honest. Is this better?

Sarver announces plans to sell Suns, Mercury
Owner Robert Sarver, citing an "unforgiving climate" following his suspension and fine for racist and misogynistic remarks, announced his plans to sell the NBA's Suns and WNBA's Mercury.
Sarver gooone. The fans will be happy because I read that they hate him for mismanaging the team all these years

JJ reddick just did a long form interview with Ben Simmons. Be interesting lesson (hopefully) tomorrow. Or he could just disappear for the majority of the interview

@voodoo had a relationship with a staff member of the organisation. According to reports it was a consensual relationship, but the policy is that they can’t have relationships.
Why suspend him? Either fire him or just get on with it.

@mariner4life I think most of the NBA fan world is just realising that Udoka’s partner is/was actress Nia Long and everyone is like, what the hell bro?

@bayimports dunno yet
certainly looks like it. But then watching Zion Williamson in college it looked like he would dominate too, and he can't stay on the court. Will that lanky streak of piss stay healthy? Can he handle being bodied by other freak NBA athletes?
That length and those ball skills does look like another Kevin Durant. And KD is really fucking good.

Like that guy OKC drafted this year. Looks like he'd blow away in a decent wind and already succumbed to a season ending injury in preseason

Here is a good summary from my favourite basketball YouTube on Victor.
