On Friday October 22, the pre-season game between the Orlando and Heat was cancelled because of slippery floor. The floor was found slippery when arena officials found that a solution with oil was applied to the floor. This does not happen a lot but it definitely was not expected as people were waiting to watch this game. I mean I was one of those people who was watching TV and waiting for the game and then this announcement came up. The Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy said that they should go to an outside court instead. The league said it would refund people for paying tickets and their were some people who flew in from Dallas, TX and Albany, NY. Hope they get refunded because they spent quite an amount of money to come and see the game.
Our own player of the Celtics, Rajon Rondo has stated that he is preparing to save money if the cut of salary would happen. Rondo is supposed to receive $9 million this season, but that can all change next year when salary cuts will be made. I am glad that he is preparing for this salary cut. Everyone in the league should do so because that is smart. I mean we dont how much money this guys are going to lose from the cut and its better to be prepared then wait till the cut hits your pocket.
This is it for the news that have been floating around the NBA. More developments will be told when they happen.
Can you post links to the articles you're finding about the proposed salary cut? It just seems hard to believe. I'd love to read more details about it.
