@CantStop been throwing salt on my name for months for rocking with Jokic.
You think he could ever improve his defense to an above average level or is his athleticism too limited for that? We're potentially talking best player in the League if that ever happens. :wow:

He can improve but his ceiling on defense is basically average to above average, he'll never be the centerpiece for a top 5 defense or anything. He's limited in terms of athleticism and length, it looks like he has t-rex arms, but you can hide him in a zone if you get a defensive PF next to him. Basically copy how the Mavs were able to hide Dirk on defense.

The new CBA will make treadmill status even worse. The only way to get top tier talent going forward will be the draft or trades. Top players or near top players aren't gonna be leaving their teams. Guys aren't passing on $70 mil even for Miami. They are really screwing themselves in the long term.
Can you/somebody explain that portion of the new CBA? Is it just harder for players to move or damn near impossible?
