Fraud Franchise…..
Jalen and SGA look like they mean business. Chet looks like he’s cold and needs a sweater.
Basically rule made it player lose a lot money unless ur elite 2 way even then maybe u would got more or unless u sga jokic Luka type player . Dumbass CJ
He's right. Unfortunately, Sam Presti will have to either trade 2-3 role players or JDub. And it will likely be Jdub
There should be exceptions in the apron for players that a franchise drafted themselves. Like if you have 2 or more homegrown players making $25m+ you get a $7-10m extension on the apron, etc. A team should not be punished for putting in years of work to developing their rookies into an elite players by losing all that work and development to another franchise because of cap space.
I think the original purpose of the 2nd apron was to prevent rich ownership groups from building superteams through trades and free agency. Not to prevent teams like OKC and San Antonio from doing what they're currently doing.
Bullshit man this is why I will stop watching NBA don't hate draft better the NBA is dead wrong with this apron bs is nuts man.Thanku Kevin Love love Kevin Love always have man in Minnesota UCLA cavs he is right this has to be stopped
Drafting with 30 picks
They can keep them together
I don't want the apron rules to break up teams like OKC, but I think a lot of players get paid max contract money when they aren't even perennial all stars, and I don't think that should be the case. Like why are some players who aren't all stars getting paid like they're mvp candidates? Saw someone recommend a luxury tax forgiveness system for players who are on the team they were drafted by, so OKC would pay less luxury tax since they drafted a lot of the players they have, and they could keep the team together
i mean they didn't draft shai, also sounds like they should have managed contract money a little better🤷🏼‍♂️ it's not just the rules stopping them, it's greed
The max salaries are too high, and every teams needs to give out a max salary, but not every team has a player that really is a max player.
thye can .take cheaper roll players. if ur truly great u will win again.
Sure they can. One of them just has to accept a lower salary. The Warriors did it. Brunson did it. It's possible.
Meh, they tanked on purpose sitting SGA late in szn
Dubs ran into the same problem, before the aprons. The luxury tax penalty levied upon the DUBS as a result of keeping Steph, Dray and Klay together tied their hands and is part of the reason the club is starting to stagnate…
I dont like the apron but the top guys could take a paycut like Brunson
I mean he would know what greatness looks like. Lost three time to them in the finals. Also if these guys care so much about the game and these dumb rules, are they going sit back and complain? Or can they actually go and do something about it? If you cared about something as much as you say you do, then you’d make an effort to speak out against policies or rules or things if that nature. Just a thought
i think they could already keep them.the cap is rising but they need to improve except Shai holmgrem and j will need to improve and be more consistent especially in the offensive in bec there not going to keep all those great role player i know they now how to draft players but in order to be dynasty and win the playoffs they need chet and j will
The NBA doesn't want that
They don't HAVE to leave the team, they choose to go get more money elsewhere. That's a large part of it.
They didn’t draft shai tho
What is an apron?
They can stay together they're just too greedy to stay together
I respect his opinion but i disagree. Caps and aprons are here to keep all teams on a level playing field and creating parity. Being able to max contract 3 or more players even id you drafted them is going to make it more lopsided than it already is. The thunder still get rewarded for drafting well, several years together. But if they want ot give multiple max contracts they must pick and choose who gets them like every team. Otherwise might as well let the lakers offer 5 max contracts and take any decent free agent
The aprons were meant to stop the Warriors dynasty? And future such dynasties?
Bro the NBA doesn't care about your feelings
WTF what rules is he talking about?
BRAH OKC NG AS GOT EXPOSED ALREADY STOP THAT NOISE
Well, they can keep these three guys haha
OKC drafted well, but let's give some credit to the Clippers for giving them that insane haul for PG that made it all possible.
Its simple. Players need to paid less. I know it won't happen but if teams want to stay together under that apron. These players need to consider taking a little less money to keep a team together
Minnesota Kevin love will always be one of my favs
Bros been buns for the last 15 years
Nba players are so simple minded. It's not about okc, or any team, being able to keep their teams together. It's about parity. It's about teams that gradually got too cute paying max money to players who didn't deserve it. Which in turn caused role players to make an absurd amount also. Which causes the need for more revenue for all teams and the league, smaller market teams especially. Which is part of the reason you see so many ads for betting sites. Hell, those sites even have the TV rights to many teams.
The aprons aren't meant to punish those who draft well. Chet isn't a max player. Williams isn't a max player. As a team, go ahead and hinder yourself if you want to, by giving or offering max money. As a player, go ahead and chase the money if you want to, by taking or demanding max money. But that will bring consequences.
The contract trend was unsustainable. And believe it or not, whether the fans know it or not, it was becoming unbearable for us also. The max contract was meant to fall within a range. Not meant to be given to anyone just because they deem themselves worthy. But these dudes are too simple to get it.
It's not necessarily losing the main cogs either. OKC is going to pay their main 3. They've already inked new contracts with each of them. It's the supplemental pieces that start to erode when its their time to get paid. I think Lu Dort and Hartenstein are up after next year. They can't afford to pay them. There is no money. You have to cobble together what you can from new pieces on cheaper contracts.
Yep
See ya
Sorry but what rules are "aprons" and generally the other rules he's talking about?
No more dynasties in NBA that is whats happening. Celtics had the same issue.
The minute Kevin Love retires, some front office will hand him a clipboard. They probably already have a parking space with his name on it. IDK if that's true but it feels true
It isn't the rules, it is the players. You keep demanding to be the first player to get a billion dollar contract and wonder why teams can't afford to keep players. Makes ticket prices higher where less and less kids get to watch a kids game being played at the highest level
Don't forget… this is a children's game. No reason any one person should get $50 million a year, and no reason a ticket on the lower level should cost more than $100
Less potcast more play games
They should cut their he salaries down and make them earn them. If they don’t play a certain amount of games they don’t get all their money and if they don’t put out effort they get fired.
Dante Moore = Jordan Love. I prefer Mendoza, I need a guy who can out think the defense. Who knows what he sees, and not ghost.
I don't know why they got K. Love spun up by making a claim that OKC CAN'T keep their core 3 together. They JUST did. Presti showed that the best hope is signing guys early, before the Salary Cap makes more jumps.
GSW did it for 10 years, guess some franchises just care more about winning for a longer duration
K Love to OKC
Maybe this spreads the talent throughout all 30 teams better? It’s definitely a game changer for sure whether it’s good or bad is the question
