A big reason why American hoops fell off and the international nikkas runnin the league at the top is cause these Gen Z nikkas got hoopers like Paul fukking George as they GOAT and favorite player :scust:
We have a generation of hoopers that grew up trying to emulate steph curry, Thats why it feel off.
Not everybody can be effective chucking threes all game.

There is going to be another lockout when the next CBA comes up...with Beal and PG's contracts being the highlight.

I do believe that in a PG/ AD scenario, they should be able to recoup around 50-65% of every game you don't play once you've hit a certain amount of games missed.
Max deals should come with caveats like this just to prevent check stealing

The Supermax will be discussed and possibly eliminated as well.

The supermax is fine the way it is. Just make it more difficult in who qualifies for it.

Besides, the owners could have theoretically said no to giving out those deals. I mean the Clippers essentially did.

Let's not forget that Philly also did the same thing in giving PJ Tucker 3 years fully guaranteed at age 37 and why he's still in the league till this day.

Only people stealing are half of these FOs. Nobody put guns to their heads and made them sign these deals. We really gonna act surprised that a 34 year old PG fresh off avg 53 games a season in LA is missing games? That aint stealing...thats giving :pachaha:. Every CBA is more bailouts for bad management. They have more than enough protections...and still keep doing dumb shyt...and still keep looking to the players to bail em out some more :camby:

This isn’t discussed enough imo. A lot of trash front offices that used player empowerment as an excuse for their own ineptitude. Ironically, you could say the whole player empowerment era was birthed off failing front offices.
