LeBron takes to social media to complain about Lakers' FO.  Should be a fun season in LA  :D

""Can someone please explain to me why we're getting on a [plane emoji] and heading to Milwaukee for 1 pre-season game!?!?" James posted to X on Wednesday."

Why not just talk to your own front office and keep it private? Is there an issue with the FO and LeBron that he has to take public shots at them? Is he mad Bronny wasn't taken in the first round?

I'm guessing the front office didn't make their preseason schedule.

It'd be funny if they cut Bronny in retaliation.  8-)

Apparently, all NBA teams are responsible to schedule their own preseason schedule. They are not even required to schedule any. Who knew?

That is interesting. And is probably why most teams just stick around their area. But apparently the problem is they don't have access to their arena due to ongoing renovations.

Wasn't there a handshake agreement last year that they would essentially do a "home and home"? LA got to see Giannis and Dame together in a meaningless preseason game, MKE gets to see James and James together in a meaningless preseason game. It's all about trying to sell tickets to games that people largely don't care about.

True. But that doesn't explain taking your issue to X. Unless you feel like the FO needs to called out publicly.

Oh well, some Laker drama is always entertaining.

I stand corrected then.  That's pretty crazy.  I just figured it was all set by the NBA for them, just like the regular season schedule.

Pretty sure the NHL is the same. And while the NFL schedules times and dates, I believe individual teams negotiate the matchups.

Right? I'd like to see the Bucks square off against Marathon Oil.  8-)

Kendrick Perkins, loan shark?!

Lots of variables. Definitely immediately thought of the Bowie Bonds example they mentioned. 

The sample contract they mentioned didn't seem too terrible.  If the cut is capped, like they showed, it could be reasonable.  But I guess that depends if the company is acting on behalf of the athlete finding NIL opportunities. Then it's basically a signing bonus for a management company.  If there is indeed no obligation to pay back the advance if the NIL opportunities don't materialize, then I think the loan shark/predatory loan claims are a bit empty

I like to think I knew a little about professional sports but assumed the League set up preseason. This was news to me.

I'm guessing that if there was a true or false question more than half the people on the board would have gotten it wrong, myself included.

And I feel like knowing how preseason NBA games are scheduled isn't a good bellwether for judging professional sports knowledge. ;D

I'd appreciate an explanation on the mid-level exceptions impact on the salary tax apron of the NBA.  ;D
