sorry, more nerdy nba talk.

one thing i've noticed is that every year daryl morey will end up purchasing a few 2nd round draft picks for $2-3 million each and use those to draft some decent players that they later end up using and/or packaging in trades.

this is a huge advantage for teams with money.

so this got me thinking ... the new jersey nets are probably the richest team out there now that the russian billionaire just bought it. couldn't they use that money to go out and buy every draft pick out there available for sale? and/or offer huge sums to buy very high draft picks (would a team be willing to sell a top 10 draft pick for $10M or $20M)? and package these draft picks together to move up in the draft?

if they spent, say $50M, could they end up with 2 or 3 top 10 draft picks (in addition to their own #3 draft pick)? and if so, assuming they drafted well, couldn't they have a great young up & coming team like the Thunder in 2-3 years time? or if $50M wasn't enough, what if they spent $100M?

on top of that, bill simmons had a great idea about spending $100M to get phil jackson to jump ship over from the lakers. imagine if you combined these two ideas. the nets spend $200M and land phil jackson as coach PLUS get 4 top 10 draft picks. maybe that's enough to lure a lebron james or chris bosh over to lead the team.

if you're going to make a big splash this year, go all the way!

This is actually how the Bulls got their second string of championships before they started the salary cap limitations, so they paid Jordan like 75 million for 2 years and then Pippen and Rodman for ridiculous amounts, another issue is that although the draft is "random" some players fake injuries or refuse to play after being drafted, then they become free agents and jump ship to the teams they want to play for with a new deal...

They implemented the salary cap and the luxury tax just to prevent rich teams from buying their way to the championship.

born in la, moved to maryland when i was 5, then back to california to go to college. joined my friend's company in xiamen and ended up moving to china. then worked on a project with boys from alive (alivenotdead.com) and spent most of my time in hong kong. now back in california! lots of changes in my outlook on life, the universe, and everything over the past few years. abc, but my chinese ain't that hot. super high metabolism, though it's slowed down a lot recently. look young, feel old. while driving, the guy in your rearview mirror singing at the top of his lungs to himself. highly optimistic, except when it comes to girls. tend to only like the ones that wouldn't like me back. believe strongly in karma and the golden rule. agnostic. not interested in politics. tend to assume the best in people. oblivious to sarcasm and jokes. feel that life is too short; felt that way for as long as i can remember. if you're not happy where you are, do something about it. take the road less traveled. afraid of heights, speed, and the supernatural. wish i could fly like superman. left handed. obsessive compulsive. very neat. drink socially, but don't smoke or do drugs; i don't trust my willpower if i start. poor willpower, but strong ideals - which unfortunately can result in hypocrisy. pick things up quickly, but also quickly lose interest in things. bad at keeping in touch. lazy, but ambitious. overpowering conscience. can't cheat or tell lies at all. introspective. care too much about what other people think. shy and aloof with strangers. yet if i'm in a club and a song i like comes on, i will be the first one on the dance floor. want to be popular. want to be in a band, be in a movie, write a book, create a game, and more -- if only there was enough time to do it all! try to push people to reach their potential. nerd leader. want to be the nice guy that doesn't finish last.
