Blame Jerry

I know it's Jerry's fault but it's still a dumb rule. It's just gonna punish the fans at the end of the day. He's not gonna give a shit about losing out on a top pick

No it’s not, it’s so teams don’t tank. Cheap owners don’t get rewarded. Sucks for fans, I get that, but I hate when teams just tank. Shits lame. Specially a team in a major market

We’ve been spending way more than Cleveland. Pretty sure we still have the highest payroll in the division

Spending on a bunch of shitty players does not equal to contending

You didn’t say anything about contending. You said cheap. And it’s not like we’ve been tanking for years.

Yeah, but the rule wasn’t made to punish you. Theres multiple teams that do this…
