Here’s the article on Rogers’ trying to stop Masai’s contract from being renewed a year after winning the championship: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/masai-ujiri-considered-taking-year-off-from-raptors-after-contentious-contract-discussions-per-report/

This is purely due to an ownership change. The incoming majority owner Rogers (previously co-owner) didn’t like Masai. There were reports of some friction between them in prior years. He bought out the other co-owner last year and the deal finally closed this month. He’s keeping the rest of the management team but pushing Masai out.

It is strategic necessity for China for energy security and for their own environment. Their predominant source of electricity has been coal which they have abundant of but is polluting the air they breathe. Does anyone recall the issues they had at Beijing Olympics? They have insufficient sources of oil and gas domestically. Alternative energy sources are their best domestic source of energy.

Well the new owners are trying to reduce their tax burden fast.

This was a steal in light of $6bn and $10bn valuations for Celtics and Lakers. The cheap owner tried to back out of the deal but failed.

US is China now.

There are vocational schools for this but there is very little public knowledge about them.

You can make good money in skilled trades which would require some training. Could be weeks, months of training.

False. Median farm family incomes are $97,984 in 2023 while the median family income for the country was $80k. “In 2023, the median U.S. farm household had $1,439,138 in wealth” while the median US family net wealth was $192,000. Farmers on average are far better off than the average American. Note that corporate farm incomes are NOT included in these figures.

Yeah it is. I think the players are just too powerful these days. Can’t say no to them. Maybe this time it’ll stick in players’ heads.
