Hey folks! As you know, real life is making it hard for me to update articles lately. Luckily, my friend Andres Alvarez (@nerdnumbers) has agreed to step up and help fill the void. Today, Dre takes on one of our favorite arguments: RINGZ.
Someone asked me to write about the MVP debate in the comments to my last article. I was thinking, "you mean there is a debate? For realz?" I'm honestly confused about why there would be an MVP debate. Let me paint the following scenario:
ESPN's Beckley Mason has re-upped on the smallball meme:
The NBA has played a whole week of basketball, and thanks to the compressed schedule we've had a few games more than we would have in most seasons. It's time for me to pick what I'll call the NBA Geeks of the Week. Sort of the all-geek team. NOTE: I wrote this article before Sunday's games because I want to consider just the games in the first 7 days.
Over on the Wages of Wins today, I wrote an article about the Los Angeles Clippers, who have reportedly balked at trading Eric Gordon, Eric Bledsoe, and the Minnesota pick in 2012, claiming that this is too much to give up. Well, I basically say that they are ****ing crazy. Here's an excerpt:
During the lockouts, we hear a lot about "parity" and lots of rhetoric about how it's hard for small-market teams can compete with large-market teams. Why isn't anyone asking the obvious question about what this has to do with total player compensation?
