You do realize those cap holds wouldn’t have kicked in til next summer right? By then those cap holds either turn into max deals you have to match immediately or a 5 year max deal for one of them. Much of the rest of your salaries don’t exist because you’re going off a stupid assumption that any team is going into a season spending severely under the floor. Even teams under the floor now are only under by a slim amount.
Not rooted in reality.
Thank you. That's always the Coli's fukking answer. Let's just lose on purpose and rebuild with rookies by winning the lottery every season and making the correct pick every time, not having to pay anybody that's not on a rookie contract, and of course all of the players will develop perfectly to their fullest potential because there's no veterans or star players around of course.
That Minny hypothetical is dumb af
Coli posters that think every team should blow it up and win with cheap contracts are annoying

And you value that over Jimmy Butler.
Jplaya level logic breh
I think its naive to simply blame owners for not spending money 'correctly'.
It only takes one team to dip their toe in the water with a player to send the ripples of that onto everyone's shores. Plus, they have salary minimums as well as an obligation to generate revenue by putting butts in seats and selling merchandise.
If there was more trust between the owners and the union, they could have agreed to a smooth cap i think. It would have made it easier for more members to have access to equal money.
If I was a member, I'd have voted for it.

fukkin Cp3 screwed himself on and off the court with those moves. Smh
Salary floor isn’t really even a punitive thing bruh... if you don’t meet the salary floor all that means is that the remaining difference in extra money your team has gets split up between your current players on the roster for that year ... you don’t get fined or lose a pick ...
And signing guys to horrible contracts like Deng and Mozgov aren’t putting asses in seats fam
The thing is even if they did “smooth” the cap it still would have increased significantly from the prior year so you would have still seen horrible contracts ... that shyt is all on the team presidents for being fiscally irresponsible there’s nothing naive to point out reality tbh
All it takes is one organization to talk himself into the number(for whatever reason he comes up with) and now the market is set breh. Its how commodities work. The only problem is this is a capped league. If it wasn't capped then id not be talking about anything in this thread. Because its capped, with a finite amount to go around, Id want that shyt steady eddied to increase my chances of maximizing my amount. Unless I am a super star anyways.
A.You don’t have to participate in an hyper inflated short term market in basketball ... the lakers as an example could have opted to not extend those offers and signed two minimum vets and still satisfied the requirements for roster spots ...any model that predicted Loul Deng and Mozgov increasing their revenue should be burned and its users removed (Which is what happened to Mitch and Jim) they should have allowed the inflation to adjust itself ...which is what this article is essentially describing as happening now
B.If you want an example of what I’m saying you can look at what the Sixers decided to do last summer ... they paid overinflated short term prices for JJ and Amir but they were savy enough to control the conditions of those inflated deals by limiting the years committed to 1 .... even in the summer that the lakers went Dumb the Orlando Magic signed a comparable commodity in Jeff Green to the same annual money as Deng except his deal was 1 year and Dengs was 4... not even to focus solely on the Lakers because the Blazers did the same stupid spending that summer committing long term to overpriced commodities instead of doing something like the Bulls did with Rajon Rondo and protecting themselves by making his overpriced contract only partly guaranteed ...there’s all kinds of ways to avoid getting destroyed in a “bad” market bruh
Competent upper management is something that cannot be understated family ....one of the tenants of competent UM is evaluating whether a commodity is worthy of upfront financial overextension...So if you ever hear someone in upper management talking about “we had to overspend there was no choice” as an excuse for poor decision making in any field you should be very skeptical
I predicted this in the off season
NBA contracts are out of control, got B level players making 25 m for teams who ain’t never gonna win a thing

I pointed this out when people were acting like it was nothing to give Allan Crabbe and dudes like that $80+ mil
If the cap can go up due to TV contracts it can go DOWN too if the economics change. This particular situation where the cap goes up a little bit but there is no money to spend happens every time you play a couple seasons into a 2K franchise
. somebody in the organization has to have the common sense to project the cap a couple of years out and see how this can happen.
