Essentially, these negotiations have become a sequel to Groundhog Day.
But its not as funny. And apparently all we are learning is the NBA didn't understand the point of the original movie.

Really... this is boring.
Bring back the halftime show!
Let's see if Blackpink or BTS is available!
Or a C-Pop performance. In Mandarin!
Someone call Jolin Tsai!
The first half just didn't work. I get the idea of focusing on defense in the storyline. But they need to write some touchdowns into the second half script!
The link between Epstein and prominent academics highlights the role of networking and what academics will do to get what they need to fool you into thinking they are the best.

Virtually nothing for women.
And men insist they built their sports all by themselves.

21,490 fans in the building tonight.
That’s an all-time record for the highest-attended regular season professional women's basketball game ever.
Also, a record for a professional basketball game — men’s or women’s — at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Women's sports are often evaluated in terms of perceived losses right now. Losses on men's sports tend to be seen as just an investment.
