My motives are selfish. There, in the Rust Belt in the NBA, the form of economic segregation. Midwestern cities lack the cosmopolitan flair are on a par with the die-hard sports fans who dream they can compete with more-dynamic languages as long as everyone has the same wage scale.
But it does not matter if the Pistons had $ 20 million, or $ 30 million under the salary cap. In this countdown to Christmas NBA hit zero at 12:01 am, they would not have had the opportunity at any premium free agents.
