    Iran must have not had any openings on their schedule 

  7. lets_talk_basketball

    As he should. A Billion+ people and a large % of them love basketball.

    He’s made it clear that the league stakeholders value money over morality

    I’m immune to corporations wanting more money. These bastards would screw fans over for a few more bucks

    That’s also why I don’t show loyalty to the corps I work for

    Can’t wait to watch Zion in China, once they resume the games

  12. keepfighting90

    No shit. The NBA is a money-making business first and foremost, they don’t give a shit about ethics.

    Darryl Morey is gonna be banned from tweeting

    Makes sense, China is the second largest economy in the world

  20. posamobile

    Morey is the only one who can stop this

    US makes deals with China, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan. We should stop trying to hold sports leagues to a higher moral standard than our government.

  24. ComradeFrunze

    get Rodman in there to do diplomacy

  25. TheRaisinWhy

    At face value the benefit is obviously huge, but China do like teasing taking over countries

  27. GregPopabitchh

    zero chance. if you fuck over china once, they are not likely to forgive you.

    Nba is doing fine without them why bother ?

  29. financial_goth

    All it takes is 1 player to come out and mouth off about Xi Jing Ping and there is no deal.

    God I hope someone does it.

    Just to spite Adam “the slime ball” Silver.

    Personally I’m not against them having a relationship with China at all…

    I’m against them operating in Xinjiang, and against them trying to stop people from criticizing China in order to maintain a positive relationship.

    But we all know that stuff will be part of the deal.

    Fans: no
    Owners: yes

    Silver: Okay, we’ll play in China.
