The new cap rules are definitely not conducive to teams sticking together.

The lack of continuity will have a terrible impact on ratings in the long run.

Sports fans are invested in stories and having a league in constant flux diminishes the narrative power of the league.

I find Adam Silver's steering of the league to be really weak, with a constant focus on the short-term and the superfluous. The NBA's trending in the wrong direction imo.

This new CBA is too extreme and it will eventually hurt the product.

I was trying to work out a scenario were we signed him.....because he's affordable and still has an amazing toolset and is young. I could excuse his very poor feel for the game because we have ...the big man whisperer but.....but those slow feet on defense...there's nothing to be done for that. I wish him good luck though

They’re only interested in the stories of superstars

But let’s be honest they were all leaving for super teams long before silver took over. Now if anything most of them are staying put with a few notable exceptions. As long as they do something to make it harder for the big guys to leave they’d be fine

I actually kind of like it. I absolutely hated the super teams era where super stars would change teams every other season and made a mockery of free agency with their team recruiting visits and stuff. I think this new system gives everyone more of an equal ground to compete. I for one think parity is good.

The media loves pushing the narrative too. Then the Knicks kicked open the door without a superteam. No known superstars. No tank. No drafted superstar. Just stepping all over their dream narrative. All grit no quit! The NY Knicks have entered the chat!!

Damn lol

I'm staying in Cleveland, still better than Utah!

I am mad at this for multiple reasons.
Wiseman is going to have to fight for 2nd string reps
Pacers are that much deeper.

I thought Kemba retired before we signed him.

Perfect team for him. If they can deal with Obi at the C, they can deal with Wiseman at the C

Go get kat

Having a stealth hard cap is the dumbest thing I've seen from the NBA, especially with salaries skyrocketing. Roleplayers are now being paid anywhere between 23 to 45 mil. None of this makes any sense.
