Players association could have opted for cap smoothing because this was pretty predictable
It also would have stopped GS from stacking with KD

that wouldn't have stopped bad GMs from being bad GMs.
The problem isn't the players getting the contracts, its bad GMs. You gotta blame them.
I'm sure every player wants a max deal too, but if it isn't on the table
I'm not saying don't give anyone a long-term contract, but you gotta make smart investments. Seems like once many of these GMs get cap space, they feel like they HAVE to spend all of it, even if it means giving out reckless deals

fukking Mitch and Jm needed to be canned as soon they handed those dumb contracts
Well there would have been less money to spend. I’m not really looking to blame anyone, we could have avoided the Warriors team stacking though, which probably would have been nice for the league
We maxed Solomon fukking Hill

Nothing was wrong with taking all their money instantly, its the smart play.
As for free agents, its the market some years are btter than others, but it is never the player's onus to make sure GMs and owners spend smartly.
Period.

Lots of clowns on the coli told me that giving guys like mozgov 16 mil or Chandler Parsons 25 mil wouldn't have long term implications
This is one of the reasons why i didn't like jimmy butler trade for Minny
They could have had about 50 mil in cap space before resigning wiggins/lavine if they dumped Rubio and Deng and used cap holds
Towns+Wiggins+lavine+Dunn+Dennis Smith or markannen plus 50 mil in a market where nobody has cap space
That Minny hypothetical is dumb af
Coli posters that think every team should blow it up and win with cheap contracts are annoying

Those 2nd round picks and two-way roster spots are going to be more valuable than ever. Every team could use a contributor at the minimum for 3-4 years

I was arguing the whole time that I would rather a team do like Philly this season and sign guys to big one year deals instead of handing out long contracts. GMs were so desperate to look like they were doing something and not striking out that they were handing out big money to undeserving players. Sometimes you got to take the one year hit and wait a year or two after other teams are financially strapped. But GMs have to worry about job security so it's understood why they'd do it.
As much shyt as I give Ainge I love what he's done with the Celtics in regards to avoiding horrible contracts.
