I am struggling to figure out the problem.
The crunch isnt because revenue slowed down but because GMs are idiots.
I could have told you giving 4 years and 60 million to Ian Mahinmi was a bad idea in 2016.
None of this shows me the players should have smoothed the cap.

For whatever reason, the general manager/ownership making dumb ass organizational moves never seems to be a good enough reason for people.

The rank and file guys get screwed financially here, but in a weird way, people got what they wanted. The Hardens and Westbrooks get their $40 mil a year and the mediocre guys have to fight for scraps
Long story short the NBA free agents just have to wait a year before all the big money comes back in.
And the same bum ass scrubs will still be making money again.

I hate their line of thinking of "we have to spend money because we have cap space", that's how we get Deng, Mozgov, Bazemore, Mahinmi and Meyers Leonard being signed to horrible, cap crippling deals

I’ll be honest, I was one of them. Mike Conley was playing well and you knew Memphis couldn’t attract free agents. With Gasol and Conley you had a stable one-two punch, all you had to do was draft well and you were straight.Memphis sucks at drafting players ( didn’t see that at the time).

They were screwed because worse players got big contracts.
Exactly. This isn't the players association's fault.

Need to go back and quote all those “its a good deal now that the market has changed” posts
Ofc they set it up so KD goes to GS, they added 36 million dollars to the cap that offseason, (a max player)
Now they setting it up for the Lakers to stack the team full of cheap, reliable pieces.
Next offseason we land the big one

In some instances some teams give out deals because with other players getting extensions that might be the only time they have money to use, but I’ll never understand why management worry so much about the salary floor when there’s no real penalty for not reaching it.
It also goes back to the idea of spending money so that people don’t think you’re not trying to improve your situation which almost never works
Teams should've did with Ainge did with Amir Johnson, or what Colangelo did with J.J. Redikk. Give them their money for 1 year or 2 years with a team option, not give them long-term contracts.

Chandler Parsons somehow got a bag and he cares more about fuking jeans than playing ball. Dude is absolute, flaming trash.
