Isn't he also buying stakes in the company that is buying stakes in the mavs? Or am I misunderstanding

Candace Parker’s idea is to ignore the group and just advance the top teams with the best records, out of all the groups. Then what’s the point of the groups? It’s a tournament. I don’t think she realizes that point differential would still come into play.

Huh? When did she say that. I saw that she had the idea that wildcard tiebreakers should be based on records, not point differential, but that's totally different from what you're saying now, and I can see the sense in it.

I'm always amused by narratives where it's better to lose before the finals, or not even make the playoffs, than to lose in the finals.

I don't expect high level competitors to forgo any such advantages that are within the current rules.
