Then we can’t ask for the play in. We can’t ask for so many teams in playoff contention, especially when those underdogs actually make it to a Finals, like Dallas and Miami (though let’s be real, nobody had a problem with 8 seeded Miami in the Finals. They were more welcome there than Denver.)
The media be the MAIN ones shytting on superstars that don’t win titles.
So why would the want to stick around one team? Players salaries are so high that they can take less money and it won’t hurt them.

This is it, the NBAPA and owners never want a situation like what happened in 2016 where a championship caliber team can get a whole bunch of cap space and sign one of the best players in the league
Yep. The NFL had the easiest fix too when they did run into CBA issues. They basically capped the rookie salaries to give more money to veterans. The vet minimum 20 years ago was $350k and now it's $960k. It has caused some issues with specific positions being "undervalued" because GMs don't know how to evaluate elite vs average to pay correctly, but that'll balance itself out.
They'll never get guaranteed like NBA players, but they got more money, pensions, and disability added to the CBA.
It's been said quite a few times. The NBA CBA is the result of cheap owners scared of Lacob going nuts because Chase Center is a cheat code for printing money while Steph is there.

I didn't read the specific or know what he's whining about this time, but I do agree with the notion about creating cores.
Watching cores blossom is what makes sports so great, at least to me. I loved to see how GM's built teams.

its not about punishing teams for being smart it was protecting teams from being desperate and taking stupid risks ie the nets that set up the celtics current team.
they might have done too much but this is t because teams were making chess moves.

No the priority is gonna be how you balance ur team payroll...and realizing the NBA is no longer in 4-5 year cycles,every team overhauls its roster every 2 years now...

They will become much more valuable in the future now the the CBA is cutting out the middle class.....NBA Front offices are now realizing it makes no sense to pay role players/non stars inflated numbers when you can potentially draft 2nd round or late 1st round guys to do the same things much cheaper.
The new CBA punishes teams for handing out big contracts.
You clowns say anything on here.
They were more afraid of Ballmer. Dude is worth over $133 billion. He has more money than the rest of the owners combined.
who the fukk are you to judge post quality?
you are among the worst posters on this website that you claim to hate. not to mention a multi time exposed racist cracker.
i think even posters that have beef with CHICAGO would agree.
They ultimately want a salary floor and limit to level the playing field though. They don’t want a huge disparity between the Dodgers payroll and the Marlins.

Ballmer was spending crazy but 1) he was reckless and 2) he made everybody money
Lacob said the quiet part out loud which was basically that they don't give a shyt about the repeater tax because they have an arena in SF that prints money and y'all don't.
