There aren't a ton of takeaways beyond reaffirmation that the entire ref union should have been uprooted once the scandal hit.
The Cuban stuff is interesting if the "Golden Goose" comment attributed to him is true and shed light on Cuban's priorities. Also the "The Time Is Now" call to arms from the podcast team is really stupid.
Thanks for posting, KL.
My two biggest takeaways were:
1) how nepotistic the hiring process is, and how most of the refs come from a small geographical area.
2) they stopped short of claiming this, but all of the information they presented seems to point to the idea that the NBA leaked the news story that ultimately halted any further investigation.
