## Resource

On the latest Mortcast Jeff talks about how the NBA chasing that big dollar with NBA team valuations and more (plus an incoherent CBA designed entirely to help inflate valuations) leads to the issues it's having right now. How the Lakers, Blazers, Suns and Clippers are an example of the NBA's chase of the dollar needing to be reigned in.
