Agreed.Originally Posted by Mythrol
If you're going to have a hard cap, you should do away with minimum and maximum salaries as well.
Worth every penny if you ask me.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
A hard cap is pernicious in other ways though. Specifically, it ruins the concept of "team", and the fan's connection to it. Turns things instead into a endless series of 1 offs where every time you get successful and people get attached, you immediately have to break up the band as they all look to cash in.
And really, a hard cap might be broader than really needed too. The problem really isn't the scrubs moving around. Power shifts aren't about where Joe Ingles ends up. You just need to keep the major stars from piling together with their friends in the latest cool kids' spot.
That's also what might give you the best chance of getting it past the player's union. A rule which effects maybe 30 guys out of 300 might have a chance of passing, unless of course Chris Paul is still the president sitting there to protect the superstar class and never lets it get to a vote.
Warriors now have ~$126M guaranteed to 10 players. Can still use T-MLE ($5.2M), min, and/or various Bird levels to re-sign own free agents.

I guess they're offering Nick Young 5.2 mil per year and ring(s).

"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin

I can't be the only one checking PR every 10 minutes hoping we traded for Bledsoe LOL
How appealing is having Rubio there to pitch? "I'm going to destroy our spacing and make it harder for you to create shots."

This, those luxury tax numbers are insane. I can't see there owner paying that.
I wonder how much profit they make. Their merch sales must be through the roof and every game is sold out. Playoff revenue and advertising must be pretty lucrative as well.
There has to be a limit though
Me too except I would be ok with Lin or Bledsoe or a surprise we don't even know about.

Don't forget the franchise valuation going up. That's a huge thing with owners because it opens up enormous lines of credit for basically anything they want. Lacob and Co. bought them for $450 mil and now they're worth around 3 billion.
I am too!!!
Me 3
I'm a grinder
10m for Collison. 25 m for Holiday.
