The NBA and NBPA have agreed to increase the upper limits on extensions from a 120% increase on a current deal to 140%, which could have a significant impact on the futures of stars like Celtics forward Jaylen Brown.
Under the current rules, Brown would be allowed to sign a four-year extension worth $165 million. With the extension rules increased to 140%, however, Brown -- who is set to earn $31.8 million in the 2023-24 season, the final year of his current contract -- would be able to reach his four-year maximum of $189 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
The NBA is curbing the ability of the highest-spending teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers, to continue running up salary and luxury tax spending while still maintaining mechanisms to add talent to the roster. The NBA is implementing a second salary cap apron -- $17.5 million over the tax line -- and those teams will no longer have access to the taxpayer mid-level in free agency. Those changes will be eased into the salary cap over a period of years.
Under these changes, Golden State's Donte DiVincenzo, Milwaukee's Joe Ingles, Boston's Danilo Gallinari and former Clippers guard John Wall wouldn't have been able to sign with those teams last summer.
As a counter to those spending limitations, the new CBA is expected to create more spending and trade opportunities for teams at the middle and lower spectrum of spending. There will be an opening of more opportunities in the free agent market, including larger trade exceptions.

Also no more testing for weed finally.
It's tied to the regular season, so it can't be any less important than a current regular season game.Raps in 4 wrote:Nobody is going to care about the mid-season tournament.
If teams are forced to compete, I imagine they'll just play their bench players/prospects/G-League call-ups. No way teams risk injury to key players for something so pointless.

I think single elimination games will be more exciting than your typical game against the Hornets on a Wednesday night.
People complained about the play-in at first and now it's pretty popular.

Feels weird to punish owners who care about their teams.
Why reward the cheap billionaires.

The purpose of the luxury tax was to be punitive and reduce flexibility. Theoretically a team like Golden State should not be able to extend Jordan Poole, resign Wiggins and add Divincenzo on a exception. The idea is that they’d have to let some good players go to other teams. It’s obvious that hasn’t worked with a lot of teams in practice so I guess that they’re trying to further limit their ability to add average players.
