Steph Curry says NBA players making $70,000,000 can still be underpaid, because they’re prohibited from earning equity in the teams whose value they help create “I think because the way the CBA is structured right now, we can’t participate in equity. And that’s a big deal because it is...

Steph Curry says NBA players are underpaid "I think because the way the CBA is structured right now, we can't participate in equity. And that's a big deal because it’s a partnership with ownership, the league and we're on the short term of that revenue" "The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're playing is a part of why I would say yes, we are underpaid because you want to be able to participate in that rise" "I know we're blessed to be in a position where we're playing basketball for a living, and these are the type of checks that people are earning" "Hopefully sooner than later those rules change a little bit so that players can participate more in the upside of team equity. I think we deserve it"

Steve was asked about this at the post-game presser: “I think where we are as a franchise is we’re still a good team, still competitive. We’re trying to give ourselves a swing at the plate every year. We did that last year. The point of where we are with the age of our best players is we can still be good but we’re obviously not in the same class as we were 5-6 years ago. We’re not in the same class as the team we played tonight and several other teams in the league. There’s no point in denying that. We have to embrace it, be realistic, and give ourselves a shot. We can give ourselves a shot like we did a year ago by connecting and staying healthy and getting on a run. We’re still good enough to do that. If you do that and you have a shot, you get to the playoffs, you never know what’s going to happen. I think that’s where we are right now so we’ve got to keep fighting.”

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on only signing players who genuinely improve Arsenal: “I think the purpose has to be to be better than we were last year, or to be different and evolve in a different way that can increase our probability of winning again. “We have now four players in the squad, probably very soon, that we believe are going to be the case. “And if we can add more, we will try to do that, but only if that’s the case, because they are the right reasons to sign, not for any other reason. “Because otherwise, we’re not going to get better and we’re going to regret it.”

Paul Pierce says the way the rookie players are playing in the summer league, it shows you the excitement that we put towards this draft: “It’s the build up coming in we was like this is going to be one of the best drafts. And then for these players to come out there and kind of solidify that kind of in summer league because you like, all right, let’s see you know what they really got. And so I love seeing that because it’s nothing better than seeing these guys because this is the time to be optimistic right here.” (Via No Fouls Given)

Arteta on the players battling a physical strain: “Yes, but when I see them track back, when we lose the ball and the habits that they have, it's just amazing. That's why I know what they are doing, these players. There is a reason why we are the only English team in the competition, because this league and this schedule takes the hell out of you and it's very difficult to do what we've done. “We are not perfect, we need to improve things, that's for sure, we recognise that, but let's value what these players have done because they deserve it.”

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on if it's important to keep players from the academy: "Certainly. I mean, the players that have been raised in our system and they feel generally that love and that connection with the club, it brings something else. "There is no question about that, and we need to look after them in a really special way because they bring value that is very difficult to find. That's why, when we can, we want to protect those assets as much as possible, develop them and make them extremely important for the club." 🗣️ on sending players on loan to Premier League clubs: "I think those are individual cases. Those players have to be ready as well to compete in the Premier League and to play regularly. "The priority is to expose those players and give them minutes, you better agree that that's going to be the case, and how many clubs, teams, managers in this league can guarantee that that's going to happen to a really young player that probably hasn't had exposure. "If you find it, great, because that's the level that we want them to compete. But sometimes they need a different pathway. The beauty of this is that the pathway can be completely different and the outcome can be the same, and this is the magic of football as well."

Jason Kidd on the “Fire Nico” chants during the final stretch of Monday’s game: “We can only hope that we don’t have to go through that again because it was a little disrespectful because the guys are playing hard…With that chant during when we’re shooting free throws, it’s very disrespectful. But understanding they got their point across, the fans, but we have to move forward…Again, we have a lot of guys that are in street clothes. We got over, I think 100 million dollars sitting on the sideline…I would hope that we start to get a little credit for that because these guys, they can hear those things and they feel really disrespected. It’s hard to keep guys here in this league when they start to think that the home team is not home and becomes a visiting place, and so hopefully that changes tonight.”

$ABCL CEO Carl Hansen explains the net negative overall value creation in biotech and how AbCellera plans to beat it: “I really think it can be beat because there’s a lot of mistakes that get made in where you allocate capital.” “If you’re a biotech and you start a company on a drug, and you go public and have a drug, and now the data is looking not that great, you just keep running that drug. … Because if you quit that drug, the company is done.” “So, because you’re so concentrated on one thing, you end up having blinders. It’s like a cult of a molecule. And even a real, practical, capital access problem that makes you continue to move things forward” ______________________________________ “Another problem is that many of the drugs that get started, get started by people who don’t understand the competitive or commercial landscape and have no intent of ever actually manufacturing it. … Because they know someone else is going to buy it. So then their framework is not ‘Am I making a drug that’s going to make a difference for people?’ The framework is ‘Can I make something that I think someone will take off my hands?’ And that happens a lot.” “There are many acquisitions where a big pharma company spends $10B, $20B, and it’s a complete bust. So really no value is generated for patients but someone was able to get a good exit on that because they anticipated what someone would want. And a lot of decision making gets done like that”. _______________________________________ “I’m not saying that we have this all solved. But what we’re trying to do is create a framework where we are able to take many bets so that we don’t fall in love with anything, or we don’t have to fall in love with anything. … And then always hold up very explicitly what we know and what we don’t know along the dimensions that matter. The dimensions that matter are - Will it work? That’s a science. - When it gets where will people care? - Is it differentiated? - Does it solve a big problem? In order to get it there, is there a path with our resources and expertise that would allow us to see it through?” “When you start to hold things up like that, you start to see where the mistakes are, where the uncertainties are, and you can be more rational in deciding ‘We’re going to run it to here because we get to flip the card and if the card goes the wrong way we’re going to kill it because we’ve got something else behind it.’” “I do think that if done right, and if you can pick the right opportunities, the success rate can be well higher than an order of magnitude better. … And there are examples of this… companies I’ve mentioned, you know, Regeneron, their success rate is at least 10x the industry in bringing programs forward and getting them approved. … So it’s… you can do it better that way”

Arteta on his role to re-energise the Arsenal team. 💪 “Certainly, when you lose a game, you have a lot of feelings because, especially, this group of players are so competitive and they seek for excellence and when you don't reach it, you ask yourself questions, and we did that. “But I think my role there as well is to bring optimism and reality about where we are, and yeah, our club has a long history. And to find a moment where, in February, we're in the position that we are, is very difficult to find. So guys, we are doing so many things so well, and let's focus mainly on that. And for sure, we want to improve, we want to be better in every area, but with that sense as well of self-confidence and conviction that we are in the right path. Anyone need to lift Arteta? “No, in these moments, no. Normally, I'm the opposite and when we are doing so well, I'm there with a stick to say, 'This is not good enough,' 'This is not good enough.' The other day, no, because I know how much they wanted the amount of games and the demands that we put on those players every day. “In those moments, they need to understand and feel that we are right behind them. I'm mainly responsible for that and they keep playing with that freedom, with that enjoyment, as I discussed the other day, and I make sure that that journey is beautiful because what is ahead is great and everybody has to be part of that but in a good sense and with good humor and with good optimism and looking forward to it.”

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on if it's surprised him to see players sold for over £100m: "Yes, it has. I wouldn't have bet on that to be fair. But that’s the market, that means that there are clubs that are happy to invest or they believe that the valuations of those players are that, and that's fair. "In the end, the value of the player is what somebody can pay for you, and they've done it, so that's the value and it's the right one because someone is happy to sell and someone is happy to buy, and in the middle, a player is happy to move from one club to the other. So I think that's fair."

‼️ Donald Trump just said that he is willing to provide Europe with security guarantees, compared the territorial concessions Ukraine has been pressured to accept to his real estate business deals, and said that the U.S. might participate in talks in Europe this Saturday. Q: You made a commitment to the Europeans back in July to participate in some kind of peacekeeping force, should there be a peace agreement. You mentioned, I think, air support, intelligence, and so forth. Does that commitment still stand? Is the U.S. ready to contribute to this? TRUMP: It’s the Security Agreement — Yeah. Yeah, basically, that they call it. Which sounds the– security agreement. Yeah, we would help, we would help with security because it’s, I think, a necessary factor in getting it done. I thought that we were very close with Russia to having a deal. I thought we were very close with Ukraine to having a deal. In fact, other than President Zelensky, his people loved the concept of the deal. You know, we threw something at them. Q: This is the four-part deal that you… TRUMP: Well, there’s four or five different parts. It’s, you know, little bit complicated because you’re cutting up land in a certain way. It’s not the easiest thing. It’s sort of like a complex real estate deal times 1,000, right? But it’s a deal that would have stopped the killing of thousands of lives every month, thousands and thousands of lives. Q: Would it be sort of like a Korea-like ceasefire, where you don’t resolve the war? TRUMP: “Well, there’s a meeting on Saturday. We’ll see whether or not we attend the meeting. We said we’ll attend the meeting if we think there’s a good chance of… They want me to attend. They want us to attend. And we’ll be attending the meeting on Saturday in Europe if we think there’s a good chance, and we don’t want to waste a lot of time. We think it’s negative. We want it to get settled. We want to save a lot of lives. As you know in the past, we spent, could be 300, $350 billion giving it to Ukraine. You know, we got nothing in return, we gave it to Ukraine. I ended up getting rare earth in return, even though I didn’t spend money, and we are now selling weapons to NATO. We’re not selling it to Ukraine. We’re selling weapons at full price to NATO. They distribute those weapons probably to Ukraine for the most part. They’re probably doing it to others also. But we’re not involved in the war other than the fact that we are involved in a negotiation because people want us there. Ukraine wants us involved very much. Europe wants us involved. I have a great relationship with the countries of Europe. …Things like this end up in third world wars, and I told that the other day. I said, “You know, everybody keeps playing games like this, you’ll end up in a third world war,” and we don’t want to see that happen”.

I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong” “I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it” “I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”

Gilbert Arenas agrees with LeBron on Memphis and says if NBA players could pick where they was drafted from, the players that was born in Memphis wouldn’t pick Memphis: “This is just to everybody in Memphis that’s upset and say you forget where you came from. NO, WE KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM AND WE KNOW WHERE WE WANT TO GO. YOU THINK THIS is Memphis and another bunch of cities? You think basketball players are training every day to get out the hood to go to WHAT CITIES? WHO’S OUR IDOLS? ARE YOU THINKING HOW A basketball player think? Who’s our idols? Who are we growing up wanting to be in life? MICHAEL JORDAN, big city. Kobe Bryant, big city. Bird, Magic, big city. SO, EVERY NBA PLAYER COMING TO THE DRAFT, YOU WANT TO be in the big city. Because we know the big city gets the big promotion, gets the bigger contract, get the big shoe contract. That is what happens. Unfortunately, there’s other cities in between that has a chance to pick us. YES WE’RE EXCITED THAT WE GOT DRAFTED IN the NBA and whatever city takes a chance on us, obviously we’re going to hold it down.” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

🎙️ ESPN's Evan Cohen: "I think that Steph Curry ultimately finishes his career with the Warriors. That said, right now, today, is the first time it is justifiable to entertain the conversation about him going back home to Charlotte." "Not because he will. And not because a trade will be made, but simply because the Charlotte Hornets arguably had the single best offseason, non-LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Jaylen Brown related, of any team in the league. They are loaded with draft picks. They are loaded with contracts of players that another team would want. And they have players in Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel that maybe Steph would say, 'I can see myself mentoring those two on the way out.'" 🤔

If you want more context…. Here’s Phee’s FULL comments, echoing what many players and coaches have all said: “The game is too physical right now. I think that’s been a complaint of players and coaches alike for the past several years. We’ve been compared to the NBA of the 80s, in just our physicality. And I do think that hinders the players obviously. You come to watch players play offense and to score. When it’s so physical, the game is not fun to watch and it’s not fun to play.” How did it get so physical? “I mean, we want to win. If the rules allow, we’re gonna kill each other to get there. I just think the rules need to change in that regard so it’s safety for others and a better experience for the fans as well.” Changes to reffing or different rules? “I think it’s both. I think consistency in reffing is the no.1 thing that we ask for every year. I think the game right now is catered to the defensive player, Because you always hear ‘defense wins championships’ and it does but, in my opinion, it should be catered to the offensive player, because that’s why you play basketball. You would like it to be more like the all star game? “I would not go that far. You still need defense for sure, but just a little tweaks here and there.”
