this is so right on, especially in the NBA.

"So many of my friends will tell me, 'Don't do that. Don't try that. It's going to end poorly. They'll run you out,'" Hinkie would later say. "And that's the reason to do it, because fear has been the motivating factor for way too many people for way too long. There's a huge agency problem in the whole business, particularly in my role: Keep the job."

His firing has only reinforced everything I felt about him.

My classes have basically been the Hinkie playbook and the drawbacks of bringing innovation to an old style. Fear truly is the motivation for what Adam Silver did to him. The league, as usual, stepped in instead of allowing the market to correct itself. There were significant negative consequences to what Hinkie was doing, but we'll never know how much of an impact they'd truly have on his ability to build the team.

The league's ousting of Hinkie was done "for the franchise," but, ironically, it was done because they believed Hinkie's plan would work and what it could do to the league if it did.

Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account
‏@WojVerticalNBA
Sources: Jeremy Lin's deal with the Nets: three-years, $36M

I'm guessing that third year will be a player option.

Actually a good deal for the Nets, which means it's bad for Boston

Love how Woj reports something then it's followed by like 20 ESPN Eklunds who tweet the same info.

Love Woj

So according to that last tweet from my pal @MarcJSpears, your most current estimate on the DeMar DeRozan deal is five years, $145 million.

Hoping the cap keeps going up as projected and this looks better in 2 years.

Pretty sure he has an escalating deal. Even in a world with a $108M cap hit, it's still a rough deal.
