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.

The Tesla-SpaceX Car Is a Lethal Public Weapon

I think we're going zero to 60 in like 0.8 seconds, which just feels like a lethal weapon for the public to have. I don't know how I feel about this. It's cool to see on a track. I don't know if it's gonna be cool to see on a highway.

This is a safety judgment about a proposed vehicle and is inherently evaluative.

Penny Hardaway's roster investment is a genius move

If Penny Hardaway has money, putting two to three million dollars in your roster—if your team does well, you could probably make millions more on your contract. It's actually a genius move. More guys should do it.

Whether this is a genius strategy is a subjective evaluation.
