No small team in the NBA can’t really afford to “spend”

Tampa's small market.

Tampa is 100% considered small market

Compared to other cities.
hollow wind
it's smaller than both Orlando and Miami
and that's in one state lol
definitely small market
dim kettle
Everything outside the top 10 is considered small market.
hollow wind
actually is tampa smaller than orlando? 
regal mortar
boston is considered a big market and it has 2.49 million people
im not syaing tampa is a big market
but its not small market either
its middle tier
dim kettle
Also, that's combining two cites. Tampa and St Pete.
regal mortar
to me places like milwaukee, cincinnati, kansas city, buffalo, new orleans, columbus, baltimore, pittsburgh, san diego are small markets
well they are right next to each other

Devils.

pittsburgh is def a small market
they were getting screwed
i remember the penguins almost moved before super mario saved them
dim kettle
I think it was either Vegas or KC they thinking of moving to.
regal mortar
vegas is a good market
kc would have been a nightmare
definitely would have to move again
thank god mario saved them
penguins are a top 5 franchise now
in nhl
dim kettle
Who knows with KC. Especially in the salary cap era.
I'm so glad the NHL is getting into the Seattle area. Because I've wanted that forever now.
regal mortar
there were NBA teams also in smaller markets
kansas city kings
syracuse nationals
buffalo
fort wayne zollner pistons
buffalo bisons became the clippers
dim kettle
I still think Buffalo needs one more chance with a basketball team. But that's not happening.
dim kettle
It's gonna be Seattle and Vegas most likely.
regal mortar
i think the A's might be moving to vegas also which is crazy
oakland had 3 teams 5 years ago and in 2-3 years they will have none

Oakland be like, "Oh, that's fair. You steal my football team first, now baseball?"

the raiders had no business moving
the A's are being cheap
they want taxpayers to foot the stadium
raiders should have stayed in oakland, its a damn shame they left
dim kettle
The Raiders should've been in LA actually.
You would think they played in LA whenever they face the Chargers.
dim kettle
From what I heard, that city is at rock bottom at the moment.

the only LA team should be the Rams, Chargers had no business moving there
and yeah I heard too

You think Oakland got fucked. Boy, San Diego.
At least they have the Padres to disappoint them come playoff time.

Nah, that's Seattle.

Still haven't made the playoffs since WCW was still a thing and One Piece was still in the Alabasta arc.

I'm a Rays/White Sox fan.

Fuck Stu.
regal mortar
actually fuck reinsdorf also lol
dim kettle
The only reason I like the Sox in the first place is because of that thing that the Rays may move one day.
And yes, fuck that cheapstake Reinsdorf too.
dim kettle
Yeah, still don't think that's really happening. Stu can try, not happening.
The players wouldn't agree to it.
regal mortar
itd be weird
the only mlb teams i dont like are the yankees, dodgers, and red sox lol
the rest i dont mind rooting for if they arent playing the Mets
dim kettle
I can't say I hate any teams personally in baseball compared to Hockey or Football.
regal mortar
who do you hate in football
dim kettle
The Saints.
dim kettle
I'm a Bucs fan.
regal mortar
lol
i just dont like how brady is paraded as the greatest player ever
his fans are cult like
dim kettle
The Saints have a bunch of unlikable players.
dim kettle
I hated Drew Brees as a player for so long because he always beat the shit out of my Bucs. 
regal mortar
lol
tbf the bucs would have been better early if jameis winston didnt throw a million interceptions a year
they definitely could have been a threat in 2019-20
dim kettle
Famous Jameis Bakery.
dim kettle
The sad part is I was a Jameis Winston Stan before 2020.
regal mortar
i think brady gets too much credit for this bucs team
anyone that didnt throw a million interceptions could have won a ring with this team
tony romo on this bucs team 
dim kettle
He probably does but after seeing Jameis blow 10 million game winning drives the last 4-5 seasons. Just seeing Brady bring the Bucs back from 20+ points twice last year was refreshing
regal mortar
the bucs defense is the MVP
bailed brady out against the Packers
and i agree
brady was a definite upgrade
it was in the works for the bucs
hollow wind
ah man, Bleacher Report made a fullmetal alchemist edit but with CP3 in it and I'm dead
dim kettle
The Bucs defense had a lot to do with that SB win. But at the same time, the defense only did so much better because the Bucs offense scored 31 points.
regal mortar
the bucs defense murdered that swiss cheese makeshift o line the chiefs put out
it also doesnt help that kelce and hill choked hardcore
the chiefs werent winning that game for numerous reasons
andy reid's son, one of their coaches, almost killed a kid with a DUI the day before
vibes were bad
dim kettle
Remember that the Chiefs had to go for it on 4th down multiple times in the second half because they were down by so many. Let's say the Bucs offense wasn't clicking that much as it did. Let's say they score 20 points. The Chiefs score FGs on those 4th downs and suddenly it's a 20-15 game.
regal mortar
Remember that the Chiefs had to go for it on 4th down multiple times in the seco...
it was a dumb game
easily the worst super bowl i have ever seen
besides seahawks-broncos
dim kettle
You don't see many blowout games in the SB these days.
regal mortar
very true
more parity
its usually a lack of preparation or bad starts that cause blowouts
dim kettle
I say it's more because the league has become more offesne base compared to the blowouts of the 80's and 90's.
Defenses were a lot more apparent
Remember the Pats were in a SB in the 80's. You wouldn't knowing that the 85 Bears Thanos snapped them out of existence.
dim ledge

technically theres still another two brothers
but yes, give me more Giannis content
proud coyote
pats rams was worse
dim kettle
Oh that one too.
regal mortar
pats rams wasnt a blowout though
the rams were 2 brandin cooks catches away from winning that game
dude dropped both touchdown passes
dim kettle
I remember Seattle and Pittsburgh SB was just refball and that was frustrating one to watch.
dim kettle
I noticed the two SB titles the Bucs have come from blowouts.
I was too young to see the 02 Bucs though.
regal mortar
the first game was stupid
i was too
but rich gannon threw 5 interceptions
one of them being a pick 6 at the end of the game
dim kettle
I love seeing that Tim Brown drops an easy pass and Sapp or whoever goes up to him and says."You waited over 13 years to do that?"
dim kettle
He did something in 2015 I think. I can't remember what he did though.
dim kettle
Something about assault or something.
regal mortar
anyway, i hope the bucs dont win again this year
sorry
but these brady fans are gonna be uber annoying
if you had any other guy i wouldnt mind yall winning
dim kettle
Trust me, even with the SB title I'm always have that part in my mind that the Bucs will return to the basement.
regal mortar
they are a tom brady injury away from being a 7-10 team imo
but thats every team
losing their quarterback
except those eagles
dim kettle
We have Kyle Trask now. Which BA compared to Brad Johnson. That's great, it's like i'm back in 2006.
dim kettle
Wasn't he the one that won the game for the Chiefs against the Browns?
regal mortar
yeah
dim kettle
Henne.
regal mortar
with his miraculous run
wait
shit
who was the qb for the bucs
oh blaine gabbert lol
i mix up former jaguars qbs
sad
dim kettle
oh blaine gabbert lol
That's Blane "Super Bowl Champion" Gabbert
dim kettle
More rings than Dan Marino and Warren Moon combined.
regal mortar
which is why i cant take ring arguments seriously ever

I hope Giannis plays his whole career there
100% will happen
You can see in the post game interviews how much it means to him to win it with the team that "believed in him"

woooord, I didn’t have him but I understand that pick. Montreal didn’t have many options that fit Seattle, so this makes sense
Toronto will be losing McCann

I like McCann more than Kerfoot honestly.
dim kettle
This expansion draft is so much more exciting than the Vegas one for some reason. Lots of good pieces exposed.
robust grotto
Yup I agree. I think more teams realized it’s just better to lose your player and move on
I don’t get the vibe there are elaborate trades. Philly with Voracek is still on the table though
NHL cannot be happy with the leaks lmfao, this is going to be Vegas 2.0
dim kettle
Tampa's not getting any trades off the table either. Imagine losing Gourde to Seattle and then lose Coleman to Seattle in FA. That's unlikely gonna happen but damn.

...you can make better picks and trade them for draft picks and still save on cap space
celest zephyr
idk
ancient dagger
OR just select better players with more possible upside to trade later, that still have low cap hits currently.
Yeah. I don't know either. Super confusing.
celest zephyr
looks like they went for straight up cap space
and didn't consider doing trades to get it
ancient dagger
But, again, they could have picked three better players over MacD from the Kings and still saved on cap space. (Just LA as an example given I know the team better than the rest)
That's ignoring Olli Maata as an option due to his $4m cap hit.
Francis seemed to overwhelmingly favor players with ties to Seattle.
That's the only pattern I picked up on.
Only thing to explain overlooking better players, beyond avoiding a cap hit (which, I still don't really understand when you could just trade them for draft picks and lower cost players)
Getting a player like MacD isn't hard to do.
You don't need to use a pick to get them.
But, I'm just an armchair GM.

Not sure this bod...
he also might have been charging way too much
ancient dagger
Yeah. But, that doesn't explain giving up on negotiating for SOMETHING.
It also doesn't explain taking players when better ones are available. Like, MacD from LA and Quenneville from Chi.
That statement from Francis reeks of incompetence.
Also, regardless of what the other GMs may have learned from Vegas, there is a unique opportunity in a flat cap era where teams are drowning with little cap space to maneuver with.
That's something no one has really dealt with before.
Seattle were in a unique position with 0 contracts and 0 players to really use that as an asset in making deals.
It is sounding like Francis didn't do anything really regarding that opportunity. But, again, maybe I and others will be proven wrong tomorrow--they are just really good at keeping it all under wraps.

I miss Tanev on the Jets and I’m sure as hell gonna miss Appleton too
ancient dagger
I'm glad I get to see Tanev more now that he is in the Pacific. I would love for him to be a King.
willow lantern
He’d be cool as a King
ancient dagger
Pretty sure he would be cool on any team. haha.
I like him on the Kraken. I think he'll have a great time playing a role on a new team.
He sure seemed to be having a blast when the camera cut over to him at random times.
Gio seemed super emotional but, was a total pro and putting on a good poker face.
willow lantern
Yeah Tanev definitely deserves the ice time, I seen him back and forth between the NHL and AHL for the Jets and he was a fun player to watch develop, same goes for Apps
ancient dagger
Right on. I'll try to pay more attention to Appleton.
willow lantern
Plz do! He’s a 6th round draft pick and this year he was really starting to break out. If it weren’t for Seattle I would’ve loved to see him stay as a Jet but with that being said I’m also happy Demelo is staying.

To be fair to Edmonton, if they don’t show ambition and start winning now.. they might as well not even think about re-signing McDavid
Supposedly EDM is the front runner for Dougie Hamilton

Yeah, Edmonton is in a tough spot. Unless they can find a way to be creative with trades, which they are awful at doing, they don’t really have a choice but to over pay for free agents. If they don’t over pay then it shows McDavid and Drai that management doesn’t care

I still find it a myth that the people in Arizona don't care about hockey. No, they don't care for a team that's only been a winner for 2 of the last 12 years.

I always have to explain this to people. People in states like Florida and Arizona don't care for losing teams to pay for overpriced tickets when there's so many options to pay for the entertainment dollar. If Buffalo or Cleveland had hot weather it would be the same thing.
