"No, I had a sense of [how] what I said felt for me," James said after the Los Angeles Lakers' practice. "And like I said yesterday, when I speak upon things, I speak from a very logical standpoint on things that hit home for me. Yesterday, obviously, I gave thoughts on what I felt and how I saw things that transpired from that week that we were [in China]."

Adam Silver admits the NBA's financial losses in China have been substantial.
He also states he won't fire or even punish Morey despite China asking him to do so. That right there is probably where China is still balking at doing business with the NBA. It's also where Silver is between a rock and a hard place. On one hand he's losing the Chinese market despite very publicly bowing to them. On the other he can't do shit to Morey or he loses the U.S. market. Congress people from both sides of the aisles threatening things if he does fire Morey isn't making things easier.

China firing back claiming they didn't ask for Morey to be fired.
This just keeps getting worse for the NBA and it all started with a two line tweet about freedom.

Oh they're totally lying, but it's yet another wedge in their relationship with the NBA.
Who would have thought that doing business with an oppressive government, that doesn't allow its people to have a voice, would be difficult?

Zion hurt again and will miss weeks.
You've got wonder if those extra pounds are playing a role in his frequent injuries. Hopefully they don't doom his career, ala Greg Oden.

Exactly.
It's complete elimination of free speech during a time when the NBA is trying its best to pretend they support free speech.
