The NBA Wants Them to Lose

the 2016 salary cap jumped a record 24 million in one year so the NBA said okay let's work this money in slowly players said screw that we want it now so they agreed I mean what's the Worst That Could Happen well it led to horrible contracts in the Warriors getting Kevin Durant after a 73 win season the West was basically not competitive so to stop that from happening again the NBA made two huge changes one of them is to smooth in the money this time the other is the new CBA and I've heard people say what's it going to do how is the CBA going to change the NBA well we are seeing it now and it's not good if you are a fan of the Warriors they're getting slammed even the Nuggets took a big hit that hurts Nicole a yit we are finally seeing these new rules are going to change the NBA forever I used to move around a lot for work and I always had to reestablish with a good therapist wherever I went I would bounce around until I found the right person because to me therapy has been a

betterhelp.com am Hoops or choose am Hoops during sign up and you enjoy special discount on your first month the old CBA said if you're too expensive there will be Financial penalties but super rich owners were like who cares I'll pay whatever let's win a chip so the new CBA says it'll hurt you financially and on the basketball court it creates a second apron this is a helpful guide from the ringer if you spend over the salary cap to the first apron no sign of trades no trade exceptions like Dante Devan chinzo last year to the Knicks trades are tough but second apron teams get all that plus you can't combine players in a trade which is how you get Stars by the way no buyout players like Kyle Lowry last year can't trade all your picks and if you're in the second apron twice your pick gets bumped all the way to the back of the first round oh I don't care if you sucked and got the number one pick that thing goes to 30 so to sum it all up second apron teams are stuck with their roster no changes like the Suns last year oh man they needed size and shooting and a point guard the owner would have loved to pay all that have you heard this guy but under the new CBA nope so they got embarrassed in the first round for being too expensive so teams are so afraid of that happening to them they are letting good players go to cut costs for example the Nuggets built their team with the old rules they've got three players on a Max contract Nicole yic Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr whoops because they gave mpj a Max they couldn't Reign cavius Caldwell Pope so they had to let kcp go one of the best role players in the league replacing him with Christian Brown that really hurts Nicole yic so giving out bad contracts now is a death sentence it's why we hear rumors about trades for guys on the max like Trey young or Carl Anthony towns or why literally no one take Zack LaVine another example is the Knicks they brought in Mel Bridges and paid OG and anobi whoops too expensive had to let go of Isaiah hartenstein a really good player then we have Paul George the Clippers refused to give PG more than what Kawai was making less than the max is it because they don't respect Paul George no they're afraid of being too expensive it's why legendary Warrior Klay Thompson actually broke up the Splash Brothers it also explains the weirdest moment on draft night the Spurs picked Rob Dillingham number eight then traded him to the Timberwolves Minnesota sent control of two first round picks which is crazy cuz they barely have any picks to begin with why were they so desperate I mean you never see a Conference Finals team trade into the lottery what happened well because the wolves are so expensive they virtually can't resign their own free agen Kyle Anderson Monte Morris Jordan mclin so this trade was one of the only things they could do to tweak their roster they need a point guard Dillingham is Young which means cheap it's the future of the NBA teams are going to pay their core than constantly trade role players like OKC they're going to pay Shay gildas Alexander Chad holgren and Jay dub but every four years they're going to dump good role players for cheaper ones so Talent is going to get spread around the league the NBA's been trying to do this for years in 1984 they made the salary cap in 1999 the luxury tax they made it harsher in 2011 but nothing worked since 1990 there have been 11 repeat Champs in the NBA that's as many as the NFL NHL and MLB combined we just have more dynasties in basketball why because Hoops is so dependent on Stars think about the NFL and MLB outside of quarterback no one player matters that much I mean this dude Mike Trout is an oldtime baseball player has made the playoffs one time so the NBA wants to kill the dynasty once and for all but is that a good thing I mean you might think yeah this is great every team's got a chance to win but what do the numbers actually say well the NBA had horrible TV ratings in the 70s that's why people say that magic and bird saved the league with two dynasties then Michael Jordan took it to a whole other level of popularity when the Bulls Dynasty happened in the '90s that dip right there is when MJ retired to baseball ratings have never fully recovered since Mike left but lately it's hit a new low like the 70s can you believe Celtics Mavs only got a 5.8 rating that is the third least watched finals of all time the other two buck suns in 2021 Lakers heat in the bubble what's going on parody the' 70s was the only decade without a dynasty and now we're seeing it again and it's not good people say they want parody but they actually watch domination like people used to complain oh Warriors LeBron again in the finals every year but twice as many people watch those finals than Celtics mad or the Nuggets heat or buck Suns whatever the new CBA ensures that as soon as we really get to know a team year after year they're going to get broken up to avoid the second apron so if this thing is so feared around the league who's getting burned at next season by the 1 and 2 apron will the NBA set the new salary cap at 140 million the luxury tax 171 1 apron 178 and 2 apron 189 million who is actually that expensive well some teams you think would be and some you might not first apron teams the Lakers depending on what happens with LeBron and the Miami Heat for sure but second apron teams the Celtics Mavericks bucks Timberwolves in Suns according to spot Trak and remember what that means no changes to your roster not terrible if you're the Wolves Celtics and Mavericks but awful for the bucks and Suns that's why we're seeing teams trade guys just to avoid this it's why Atlanta dumped de Jon Murray for cheap why Denver let Casey P go and why the Clippers moved da from Paul George but that is not close to the only thing that happened on draft night I think it was the weirdest draft of all time Reed Shepard the first White American guy taken first off the board in 47 years but that's just where the weirdness started what about all these French kids what explains that but everyone is talking about bronny James is it unfair that LeBron got his son drafted or did the Lakers actually have a good reason
