Who would have guessed that the Dallas Mavericks and the USA would collapse within the same week?
AUSTIN, TX -- Welcome to 5thQuarterSport's "Unexpected Collapse of the Week" where we take a shallow-dive into some unexpected implosions and hopefully break our necks on the bottom of the pool.
First up: The Dallas Mavericks. It is truly astonishing. Not only are some of their key players, such as Edwards, unable to play many more games they are also butting up against the salary cap. It is a sight to behold. It goes to show that trades, injuries, and arbitrary monetary rules can really harm a franchise.
Next up: the US of A. Rome only lasted ~2 centuries, will the US follow suit? With markets down, deportations up, and bruised egos clashing in the government things are looking bleak for the average American. Expectations of sharp tax increases and vanishing retirement accounts are not a welcome sight. It goes to show that trades, injuries, and arbitrary monetary rules can really harm a country.
Until nextime.
