NBA free agency is officially a dud this year

NBA free agency has started and it's a dud. I'm gonna say it right now. It's a dud.

Free agency results are subjective, but the lack of major stars moving makes this a widely held view.

The NBA should rename the 'Second Apron' to 'Prison' to make it easier to understand

They gotta get rid of the apron word. I'm so sick of it. If they just called it jail and prison, I think it would make a lot more sense because that's really what it is. The second apron is prison. They basically, for people who don't understand what they've done with the salary cap... they restrict you. They put you in prison.

This is a branding suggestion and therefore subjective.

The NBA should have a random one-hour window where the salary cap is turned off completely

It's essentially video game rules. And Adam Silver just says for the next hour salary caps off. You turn off salary caps, you could do any trade ever. And you have to get your players signed in that window... And then he is like, boom, salary cap's back on.

This is a hypothetical policy change.

Cristiano Ronaldo will play in the 2030 World Cup in Portugal

He's gonna play if he's got the club coach for real... then that would be awesome. I'm being serious. I love that for us... I think there's a world where he can learn from this World Cup and realize that maybe he takes a different role on the team... even at 44 when the World Cup comes around.

A prediction for an event in 2030.

LeBron James might retire from the NBA this summer to just play golf

I think there's no way he goes to Cleveland 'cause the weather's not nice enough in the winter. With that being said, I think it's because he just wants to keep playing golf. He may just still retire. Like if he has a great summer and he is like, wow, I've been really enjoying hanging out with the boys. Why do I have to go back to basketball?

We do not yet know if LeBron will retire this offseason.

The opposing goalie intentionally let Lionel Messi's free kick go in.

I think he made a cho there. He may have made a choice right there in that moment. I know there's a couple angles where you don't believe it, but then there's like one or two where it's like, oh, he just sold. Like he just, yeah.

There is no evidence the goalie intentionally let the free kick go in; he was just poorly positioned or beaten by the shot.
