Give NBA commissioner Adam Silver truth serum, and he’ll probably cop to wishing the Golden State Warriors never signed Kevin Durant. As far as them ruining the league, though?

Could we see a change to the NBA draft’s one-and-done rule in the near future? That seems to, apparently, be the plan. Commissioner Adam Silver and NBPA director Michele Roberts have reportedly met with the Commission on College basketball to address the present-day prospect-pageant protocols.
