"I don’t know that you’re going to see teams with the net ratings that we’ve seen in the past. It’s also going to stress rotations because games are going to go longer from a competitive standpoint."
Sam Presti on the 3-2-1 lottery:
"When [the Thunder] look at it, we think that we’re going to see net ratings and records that are more similar to the 80’s, not because of style of play, but the bottom of the league is going to be significantly stronger.

Wednesday news dump
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

All and All not the most daunting list. Something talked about on LOT: It sucks that both Pacers games are on the second leg of a back to back. Such potential for a fun matchup and now you have to wonder who plays or how the team will look in that stretch.

Suns
