David Stern in Retirement: Digital Visionary

+

"Since leaving the NBA five years ago, Stern, 76, has surprisingly been remaking himself as a digital visionary — an angel investor, godfather and all around-kingmaker of a radical sports future. Rather than fade into a golf-dappled retirement as so many of his counterparts have done, he has stepped behind the sports curtain in a bid to aggressively shape the years ahead. 'First we watched broadcast, then we had cable, then satellite, then social media,' Stern said. 'Now technology is going to make us evolve and improve far beyond that.'"

Trading our 4 worst players for JR?

I know I know lol...too much to hope JR is the veteran and past champion that can add even more sauce next to Sauce off the bench? I feel like the games we win, Sauce and our bench are a huge factor...but we can't rely on Sauce in the playoffs because he simply hasn't been there. Proceed to destroy me but Meyers Lemon, Biggie, Baldwin and Trent Jr are worth the risk of JR given our strong culture in place and that we have another screwball vet in ET that can help reign it all in for that bench unit. PS - this also clears the way to sign a Blazersedge's fan-favorite who happened to have a good amount of time playing with JR in Denver. Maybe they Melo each other out?
