Batman Returns ... and Tacko too

[kraidstar]

Grant and Tacko were apparently in the locker room celebration for the championship. Good for the organization letting the former players feel welcome. It's always nice to see Tacko, who apparently has a young kid now. Though in Grant's case it's a little odd considering he's under contract with charlotte for 3 more years.

Much like Al I bet he wishes he'd never left.

I do not feel it is appropriate for active players under contract with an opposing team to join the party in the locker room. JMHO

I could be wrong but I think it's because Charles Lee is going to become CHA's new HC and that's why G-Will and Brandon Miller were there too. Maybe to also support Lee?

Mark Williams too. Not sure what Harry Giles was doing there though.

Loved seeing Tacko wearing Celtics green.

I think Giles and Tatum are really close, they both went to Duke

Too bad Smart wasn't there, if those outsiders showed up.

Giles is one of tatum?s best friends so I get that

Don?t see why Brandon miller or Williams were in the celebration

You're right about that, and here's an interesting story about the CBA I was unaware of:

Kudos to Tatum for pushing this. I feel like a lot of reforms are needed for the G-league system. I'd like to see a proper minor league where fringe guys stay under team control for a number of years but are better-compensated.

Everyone wins.

Not gonna lie, I miss Tacko man. I watched him a lot in Maine, he exudes a good energy and the fans really loved him. Still mad that g-league season got canceled. We were winning the title for sure.

To improve the G-League I think you need to first improve the motivation to pay and invest on veterans in the NBA. As far as I see, a lot of the problem has to do with salary and investment you take on potential, which usually take up roster spots for people who aren't ready to play in the NBA yet.

So the on the floor product suffers, and the developmental league suffers as well.

I'm not sure the how to approach fixing it, but I think that's one of the things that needs to be looked at. How to keep veteran talent in the NBA, veterans that would out play younger players, but can't find a contract in the NBA.

Is it bad that when I saw Batman on the title, I thought Tony Battie

feels a little weird, i know. but presumably the key people in the locker room were ok with it, so i don't think i have much to say. maybe they'll taste the boston celebration and want to join one day.

I was a big Tacko Fall fan. He was so grateful for everything Boston did for him . Truely a nice dude.  Glade he came to the celebration. I think everyone really liked him . Sure they welcomed him.

Just make it so guys in the g-league don't count against the salary cap. So you can give them a decent contract and retain their rights but not have them hogging roster spaces and cap room.

Which means more veteran contracts at the NBA level. Which means these developing guys have the chance for a longer career themselves when they're actually ready. A 26-year old g-league vet polishes his game and gets his shot later on instead of some kid who is in way over his head. It is ridiculous that teams have to carry useless players on their roster, guys who would benefit from the structure of a true minor league system.

Baseball has spent over a century perfecting their system, it is astonishing to me that the NBA and NFL have not followed suit.
