I'm predicting this being a bigger issue going forward with second apron restrictions.
Bouncing idea's 🏀: 2024 NBA Off-Season: Key Decisions and Developments
- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
you have to aggressively seek the doomsday apron through timing extensions alongside trades/free agency - it'll never sneak up on a team and it'll never 'restrict' a young team from keeping a key young player if their primary goal is to actually retain them. phoenix tripled down on the dumb shyt.
i'm really not sure why people are shook when phoenix's new owner went out of their way to fukk themselves in spite of years *great* roster construction by a guy still in their organization. and what's completely glossed over in all this is that its dramatically easier to divest of guys when you're above these thresholds than its been in the past.
milwaukee isn't in this mess, boston is happy to be in it because it was actually successful for them, philly laid out an excellent short term plan, memphis played their cards right in advance, etc. this cba ain't perfect, but its literally not the issue many are painting it as
And that as much as ppl try pointing at the cba for “forcing” DEN out of resigning KCP… let’s also acknowledge that KCP was mostly non-impactful hot trash for the entirety of DEN’s 2024 playoff run.
And that DEN’s success for that run and future ones always hinged on MAGA Jr becoming that (3rd) guy consistently. If he’s not, you make decisions to trade him or hope he pans out, and that’s the game you and all the other teams play when you hand out those contracts.
Sure it’s easier to make dumb decisions then be frustrated when you can’t throw more money at it when it fails (PHX), but teams gotta be a bit smarter now.
nikka ain't nobody call Martin trash
He torched us and especially Boston
Milwaukee has a mess of their own as they're maxed out with no control of their first or second round picks going forward, so they don't have to worry about the 2nd tax apron messing up their picks
They're in a worse situation than Phoenix going forward that doesn't get talked about.

Why the fukk would we do that?We still have all our picks so we could get package KJM + Caleb + picks and bring in somebody like Kuzma and still be under the 2nd apron.
Morey did his job this offseason

We still dont have a true PF.
Kuz is under contract for the next 3 years and he's pretty cheap compared to what nikkas are getting paid now. His final year he's only getting paid 19m
Him as the 4th or 5th option while still being under the 2nd apron is fine by me.

They loss & he had in his contract that if the team made the second round his contract for next season would be guaranteed
Since they loss his contract was non-guaranteed & they just waived him
