1) What the heck is a "signed player X to a Rest-of-Season Hardship Contract" ONLY for player X to often be released after 2-3 days, and sometimes not even getting to play in play a single game?? What is that?! Does the player get compensated for the emotional trauma? I believe the "contract" should be honored through the "rest-of-season", but I strongly suspect it's not. 🤬

2) Doesn't it seem that almost every semi-contested 3-pointer, (especially when the shot clock is running down), gets a foul called and a further review for a possible upgrade?!!!
The shooter is at a distinct advantage in these scenarios; taking the shot, she knows often right away if it's going in or not, and, if she feels it's not can help her team by extending her landing with a kicking-out forward lunge that is immediately called a foul by the defender, and if the shooter falls down, well a review most often follows.
Seems to me often the 3-point shot is a bail-out play with often an acting job by the shooter hto illicit free throws and perhaps ball possesion as well.
I don't like it, happens way too often, and since shooters won't stop, (why would they?), I wish defenders would show more discipline and stop the close out fouls.
Acting/flopping in sports should not be encouraged or rewarded. rant off.

I expect the players know when they sign about how long they'll be around for
