Perks voice reminds me of the adults voice in a Charlie Brown special. His comments and Charles Barkley comments are a waste of wind.
why didn't boobie care when okc and philly were doing it for a decade? Why no mention of the kings sitting their top 7 scorers?
Dont reward losers, reward the top 17 to 20. Top 20 to vote for deseving team for a spot for draft. Give draft right for champ also.
Stop sharing info with Vegas and betting companies.
Bobby is on the betting company's leash. He's acting like resting your players is better than pulling in the 4th quarter?
16% of media revenue should be alloted to playoff-bound teams, another 1% each for East & West Champs.. the remaining 82% to be divided among all teams
the fine should be losing position in the draft. easy
There is a simple solution to stop tanking… make it a rule that the bottom 3 teams in the season cannot get a pick greater than 5th
No real player, winner wants to intentionally LOSE at anything! “Fine em” like Perk said
That's funny. Keep it covert.
There is no point in tanking with a Lottery. ESPN running hard with this story.
I’ve been blasting this idea of a constellation tournament for years. Winner gets the best odds for the number one pick.
Fines ate ineffective for Billionaire owned franchises. Penalties have to involve draft placements or picks. The system itself needs to be overhauled. Incentivize winning not losing,
A box or rocks has more brains than Perkins Go back 40 years and so on many more serious tanks. Tanking hurts gambling people the most. And no time outs in the forth period?? Are we going to have a manditory list for the coaches to follow?
Bottom 5 teams get bad draft picks. Get rid of "Restricted Minutes". Either your playing the whole game or your not. Set minutes quotas on Starting 5. Don't get me started on foul system. Basketball is whack af now.
Malika voice ain't gettin any better
Time for Adam Silver to channel his inner David Stern and say cut the SHEEET no more it’s a joke now
Kudos to Mr. Bobby Marks for having the journalistic integrity to say what he thinks even if it pisses off “relationships” in the league! Unlike a certain other prominent voice on this network!
You’re not going to fix this problem by being harsh, fine 5mil, common. Ridiculous to think you can strong arm this. You would just make people less interested in owning a team. Needs to be more avenues to be contender than the draft for smaller markets.
Well they sure won't be getting any of the top 3 picks in the draft come lottery time
By game 30 all the team in the NBA know where they stand in the rankings. If a team is 5 and 25 or 2 and 28, why do you expect them to complete and play themselves out of getting a (possible) franchise saving player in the top 3 to 5 picks?!
That fine was to cool the water for the fake injury of Jaren Jackson!! Lauri and George will be next
First time the Kings tank, it is suddenly a problem.
