@ jorgeaam	:	(07 October 2015 - 08:47 PM) Guys we need 1 more owner for the Red94 fantasy league, if interested please comment on the post in the fantasy basketball thread
@ slick shoes	:	(07 October 2015 - 06:50 PM) Kobe ranked one spot higher than Ariza? Is this based on legacy or...??
@ slick shoes	:	(07 October 2015 - 04:13 PM) It was hard to keep up with both the Astros and Rockets at the same time. Should be interesting on Thursday with the Texans and Astros on simultaneously.
@ Mario Peña	:	(07 October 2015 - 04:09 PM) It was fun to have the Rockets on last night! Right now I'm watching the Celtics versus Milan and Alessandro Gentile is impressive.
@ jorgeaam	:	(06 October 2015 - 07:47 PM) Well, thinking twice about it, I'd rather have him score less and have the team as a whole do better. Lawson should take a lot of his load off
@ jorgeaam	:	(06 October 2015 - 07:47 PM) Loving that, hope he hits 30 PPG this year
@ thejohnnygold	:	(06 October 2015 - 06:15 PM) Someone is feeling confident : LINK
@ jorgeaam	:	(06 October 2015 - 05:54 PM) 10 Teams done, will need 2 more
@ Mario Peña	:	(06 October 2015 - 02:35 PM) Alright guys, if anyone is interested in joining the Red94 fantasy basketball league we could use one more player to get us to 10 teams (or three to get us to 12 teams). Just check the thread in the Fantasy Basketball forum. Thanks!
@ thejohnnygold	:	(05 October 2015 - 06:23 PM) I use leaguepass here in Austin with no problems...
@ skip 2 my lou	:	(05 October 2015 - 03:14 PM) Hey fellas, I'm a rocket fan but I live in the heart of Dallas. Does anybody know if I buy NBA Leaguepass if it's too close to be subject to blackouts?
@ Losthief	:	(02 October 2015 - 02:24 AM) tks jg
@ thejohnnygold	:	(29 September 2015 - 05:16 AM) FYI, it was media day today. Interviews are up at NBA.com
@ slick shoes	:	(23 September 2015 - 06:37 PM) kind of late in the day but NBATV is broadcasting classis Rockets games all day today.
@ SadLakerFan	:	(16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM) Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.

@ jorgeaam	:	(15 September 2015 - 08:30 PM) So to celebrate his new contract, Montrezl Harrell saved someone's life on monday
@ thejohnnygold	:	(14 September 2015 - 04:36 PM) A good article from Blinebury talking about when Hakeem and Moses used to play in the park. LINK
@ rockets best...	:	(14 September 2015 - 02:29 AM) I agree totally. I got to watch his Rocket days and the man was a hell of a player. BIG MO R.I.P.
@ Mario Peña	:	(13 September 2015 - 05:24 PM) Sad to see Moses pass. I don't remember watching him as a Rocket but I do remember his Philly and Hawks teams. He was the perfect man to mentor Dream. It's a very sad day for his family and friends and there are many.

So Rahat has been talking a lot about Parson's worth in dollars and generally coming up with a value for when his contract expires and we actually have to pay this guy. Malcolm Gladwell has an article that gives a bit of a historical perspective on how this "paying players their market value" idea came about.

http://gladwell.com/talent-grab/

I think he did a great job showing how we got here. But he doesn't mention the new movement in management that the statistical revolution is leading. The idea that management can replace all but truly superstar production. At least in sports we are seeing the middle class talent being squeezed monetarily.

Obviously the salary cap and limited roster spots on an NBA team change the parameters a little. But while we fret about exactly how many millions Parsons will get its kinda cool to remember where all this started.
