This is just flat-out embarrassing bro, does the league want to kill itself because wowsers
ESPN Reporting with @BobbyMarks42: In new CBA, high-spending teams above a second-apron of luxury tax aren’t allowed to send cash in deals, trade first-round picks seven years away or sign players in the buyout market. https://t.co/LcI0Zjb3FF

This is a joke lmfaoo
Lmao boo cj mccollum.Every-time you see him .Lacob was not joking about how the league was pissed I’m crying 😂.
NBA is alienating the big spenders to accommodate the cheap losers what a joke this league is
That’s insane
Weaponized mediocrity
We prefer convert two-way contract anyway
Holy shit what a shit show. NBA ratings are gonna drop so fucking hard now. What are we doing here exactly? Wanna just straight up take our players and scatter them around the league at this point. This is all just a major middle finger pointed straight at us for doing things the right way? Not our fault we struck gold in the draft multiple times.
Adam Silver you’re the biggest bitch in commissioner history.
pathetic. genuinely pathetic.
these poverty franchises really think this is gonna help them, whatever they can stay irrelevant i guess.
Booooooo this blows
This might actually benefit the Warriors because it weakens the other contenders. We rarely make trades and never send out first round picks, buyout guys are always useless. It hurts teams like the Suns, Clippers, Bucks who rely more on trades and free agents to fill out their roster. We also have 2 promising young guys with Poole and Kuminga who will keep getting better unlike other contenders.
We have a solid 8-9 man rotation already locked in, if we extend Dray/Klay we have enough to compete for the rest of Steph’s prime.
Guys, I’m pretty positive this is just an April Fool’s joke but no else seems to even be considering it so I feel like I’m going crazy.
Boooooooo. Commie nba
Considering any player that can score 20 points a game is gonna get paid 20 mill a year this isn’t going to work out well for the league
Theyr’re really trying to nerf good GMs. The future of the NBA is gonna look like what the middling Western conference has looked like this year.
This affects us less than teams like the Clippers. We build well through the draft, don’t usually go after buyout players, and don’t make big trades. The removal of the MLE is annoying as hell though. We can just resign our guys and take advantage of the third two-way contract to develop.
NBA/NBPA basically nerfed ring chasing.
Didn’t affect the Warriors last year, ain’t gonna bother them this year, and won’t change them next year either.
Thought Stalinism ended in 1953
Silver just needs to go to fucking Disney and leave the NBA to someone who cares about putting out good product.
How about lowering luxury tax on contracts given to drafted players?
The warriors will find away, all those changes are madness
Is this a wild idea?: Create a super-star slot that doesn’t effect the salary cap nor the luxury tax.
There can be several factors that decide who is considered a super-star, but it doesn’t restrict a team from having 2 super-stars, it just makes more room for paying at least 1 super-star on your team what the market says they deserve without fucking up your salary cap.
You don’t even have to use your super-star slot, but if you plan on building a winning team, you can slide one of your players who is about to sign a super-max to this slot and have room to build around that star.
I was thinking about this while hearing about people bitching about QB’s salaries in the NFL affecting everyone else’s salaries on the team which is why no owner wants to sign guaranteed deals. In the NFL this could have been a QB slot instead of super-star slot I guess.
The NBAPA Exec Committee is led by CJ McCollum followed by, among a couple others (that include JJJ and Harrison Barnes), 3 Celtics – Grant, Brogdon, and Brown. There is not a big 3 in the league that loves to rain hellfire down on petty haters like Steph, Klay, and Draymond. Good luck, boys, because y’all just lit a fire the size of the Grand Canyon under the last 3 guys you’d ever want to do that to.
Communist mindset
He did it Jennifer
You know, in hindsight, the FO trying to maximize players by only using rooks and mid-level might have in preparation for this shitshow.
With this kind of rule we can’t get people like DDV and correct me if I’m wrong but like OPJ last year.
All cheapskate owners want is to get by with spending as little as possible and these changes do exactly that for them.
Title says “CBA”?
