Wise move by Jordan.
I can assume: Keeps a minority stake in the team and he doesn't take the blame when the team is moved out of Charlotte. However, he profits more, when the team goes to a larger market (Seattle or Las Vegas).

Before he became the owner of Charlotte he nearly owned the Milwaukee Bucks.

I'm curious how much the Hawks received in these payments and if it plays a role in Ressler's insistence on staying under the cap thus far...

$10.8 million....Not bad.
Ressler has to improve more to the level of the other teams.

This is a kid I'd like for us to consider. He's developed nicely out of the league. But he provides shot blocking, 3-pt shooting and rebounding at a low cost.

Also, the nephew of Dikembe...

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.

In an attempt to curb load management and lost games among star players, the NBA is tying eligibility for postseason awards -- such as All-NBA teams and MVP -- to a mandatory 65 games played. The 65-game minimum does come with some conditions.

The in-season tournament could arrive as soon as the 2023-24 season. The event will include pool-play games baked into the regular-season schedule starting in November -- with eight teams advancing to a single-elimination tournament in December. The Final Four will be held at a neutral site, with Las Vegas prominent in the discussion, sources said.

Each in-season tournament game would count toward regular-season standings; the two finalists would ultimately play 83 regular-season games. Winning players and coaches will earn additional prize money.

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.
