IDK any franchise that could afford to get Daryl. The league would have to exonerate them/that decision, and IDK if that's possible

It will be teams I was thinking about the rockets are a major deal in china and have the largest foot hold...Its some random.NBA teams who don't really have a foothold over there who could deem him employable.

If the NBA has the cojones to speak out in the USA but not China, then I have to speak with my dollars.

It's all good because fukk James Dolan anyways

This is so disingenuous :mjlol: If he was alive during Ali’s prime he would’ve been telling him to shut up and box and called him a communist.

Also, if this was Darryl Morey (once again) saying Amber Guyger deserved more than 10 years in prison, Clay Travis would be all over him. This guy is a Trump supporting racist who hates Kaepernick and, all of a sudden, wants us to believe he’s a warrior for democracy :unimpressed:.
He literally put out a book last year called "Republicans Buy Sneakers Too: How the Left Is Ruining Sports with Politics" that argued that sports has become too polarizing and athletes and commentators should stop talking about politics. That's a fukking fraud for you.





Boy, he's been waiting for this. :mjlol:
The NBA needs to come out an say that they are not going to censor the political thoughts of it's employees and if that is an issue than we are at an impasse for doing business. The Chinese people love basketball and the NBA, I think that will win out money wise over a disagreement on how they handle their government. Adam Silver should show some balls here not the players s they probably aren't informed enough and honestly just want to ball.
Yup. At least the Rockets had a real reason to see they'd lose money. How much danger is the NBA in? Is the Chinese government really going to shut down all NBA basketball in their country?

Hell, THAT would get some revolutionary movements rolling. :mjgrin:

The NBA is good at made for palatable tv activism not actual activism in the form of agitating.

In other words, theyre no different than the NFL when the rubber meets the road.


I never understood the Coli dwkk riding NBA players

NBA guys have 100% guaranteed contracts ... NFL players have contracts worth toilet paper and can be cut any time . They took far more risk yet were called c00ns. M End meanwhile not 1 NBa guys never kneeled

Meh. fukk China. fukk Hong Kong.

it’s a HYON situation so why even get yourself involved, Harden. It’s up to the front office to push out a fake apology so they don’t “spoil” things over there. NBA doesn’t want its bag tampered with in any way even if law enforcement over there are literally on camera bopping people over the head with reckless abandon.

With that said, who the fukk cares :yeshrug:

This is the tip of the iceberg crazy enough

China got their hand up our ass in so many facets n moving the US like a puppet.

They’re militarizing an ENTIRE Sea that many countries have holdings in and just told to them fukk off n do something about it.

They’re illegally fishing ALL over the world

They’re buying up massive amounts of real estate in countries like they US, Canada and Australia among countless others.

Throwing millions of Muslims in camps

Recolonizing Africa and doing similar predatory lending to countries all over the world.

Have been threatening to invade and annex Taiwan for years under the false pretense of them being a runaway province

Not to mention the Hong Kong Andy Tibet situations...

China’s poaching market is threatening endangered species literally all over the world including Africa


I kno the US is not perfect..but this is a totalitarian state capitalistic regime with zero free speech and ruled by a man who appointed himself as lifetime dictator literally trying to become the dominant economic and military power in the world.

This shyt feels like a crossroads in history moment, what mfs gon do?

Every NBA team has a rooting interest in the league, and the leagues rooting interest is China. The guy is simply unhirable unless China forgives him

China is definitely making moves to become what we were for so many centuries. Thankfully they got Russia to check them on that side and a few of those Asian countries got nukes just in case. Hopefully India continues becoming an industrial power to check them as well

they getting involved because China is a major $$ market for all of them. These star players make trips to China every year. Not excusing it but it's obvious why they're caping

Oh it’s all about the money and keeping that China expansion going. But don’t make players start backpedaling when the league (and many big corporations) tip toes shyt that blatantly concerns human rights issues.

let it be a Kap-type demonstration or speaking out against law enforcement eternally treating black people like shyt and the “shyt up and dribble” brigade is out in full force yet the league’s immediate response is apologies and then back to regularly schedule programming?

NBA would love to have us believe they are the most “woke” league but those players are on their leash and China has the NBA on its own leash.

you see how quick the Nets owner was to speak on this shyt.
