If these 23 old heads are having to gig for Uber and Amway at 80-years old, whatever pension they are getting from the NBA isnât enough. Just give these guys $1k-a-month to help meet their basic needs, at least. The NBA just signed the biggest tv deal ever and canât scrounge around the couch cushions for $2.7 million (which would cover $1k/month for 23 players for ten years)??? Hell, put $2mil in a savings account and between interest and guys passing away, it should be more than covered.

đ Billups, Rozier arrested in gambling investigations
There are still a lot of unknowns about this, and Iâve seen passing mention that the FBI might be overstating how big of a bust this is and maybe conflating a few different things to make it look bigger to put a black eye on the NBA, but given how early this is, thatâs all conjecture.
đ Takeaways from the Bulls season opener
The most glaring thing is how often he is scoring off cuts this year. Synergy had 22 percent of his possessions coming off cuts in this game as compared to around 7 percent last season. He has gotten MUCH better at timing those plays out, and heâs pretty devastating when changing directions on a dime.
The NBA is back! And Buzelis seems to be catching up to the NBA game this year. I wasnât able to watch it, but even from Nohâs clip you can see how active he is on both sides of the ball. Vooch, of course, killed it, as he always has the ability to when given the chance.
