I have to start making stuff up in my head and projecting to get a crazier year than this. I don't remember the last lockout being half as weird. It wasn't. We still got guys in China (the NBA equivalent of lost in space) that are so far on the back burner we aren't even thinking of them. We have a franchise with a star player that wants out and 29 owners.

I have to think back and think....did the Len Bias death and drug craze do anything like this?

What about the ABA merger? Did it create this kind of total chaos?

What about in the way back days with the regional drafts and whatnot?

What about when Bird was drafted as a junior?

Did last off season with the Miami thing create more craziness? I'd say no.

I hardly know how to process this off season.  This strikes me as an off season to tell my grandkids about if ever there was one. The Decision was an event, but not an off season.

I need help with all this. It's almost as bad as present day politics, when you turn around and you're like "Perry said what? Herman Cain what? Newt? What? What is going on?"

Probably.  It's been a terrible five months or whatever for the NBA.  I hope it can recover

Last year was more crazy IMO. No one saw what happened in Miami happening. The fallout of LBJ in Cleveland was unprecedented with the Decision and Gilbert's letter, and then the parade BEFORE the season. The Melo saga. Also just all the big name players that changed teams all at once. I got to give the edge to last year for now.

Not usually a big fan of Simmons, but I found this to be spot on.

Hmmmmm.....that all strikes me as sorta the precursors for this year.....like the WW1 before the WW2. Extensions of each other. One thing leading to the next. Hmmm. Maybe not a great example. But you know what I mean
