Players are more free to talk about NBA stuffs and their reactions were absurd.
Anyway Doncic to LA is good for every NBA team, the league had very big audience problems... And the sale of the Lakers setted the franchise price soooooo high.
Try to think how many problems solved one single trade.
But Silver himself talked about this stuffs, even the no USA market as a new target.
Good Lakers team is better others 29 teams. BRI is still here.
You work in the league to know how it works?
I think a lot of owners are not in just for the money. They want to win. If everything is just rigged, whats the point then for them. Of course the trade was absurd, but it doesn't need to be a conspiracy to make it reasonable why it happened. The explanation (Nico not liking Luka and fooling inexperienced Dumont) sounds very convincing.
And on a personal note - if everything is just rigged, why would I, as a fan, want to follow it than? It would just be a circus. I mean, I like to go to circus every once in a while to have some fun, but no way I would follow it daily. Why would you want to follow it and spend your time and money?
