NBA, NBPA agree on new 7-year collective bargaining agreement

[Left.A1]

This isnt true, Woj on his podcast said the league wanted to extend the rookie scale if they would accept one and done. Union wasn't willing to give that up. Teams don't want high school players, you don't have access to medical and all types of shyt. No one wants to go to high-school gyms.

Bobby Marks literally said neither side cared about the issue that much during the pod …you’re embarrassing yourself today with your stupidity

Draymonds issue is that his guaranteed raise as a Warrior is in doubt.

You been there long enough breh, go hoop somewhere else.

How?

this essentially punishes teams who draft well

Dray knows his time in Golden state is up. The only team to lose in this CBA was Golden state.

Milwaukee as well

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.

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.

Similarly, Sacramento Kings All-Star center Domantas Sabonis could currently sign a four-year, $111 million extension -- one that jumps up to $121 million with the increase to 140%.


There is an increase in two-way contract slots, jumping from two to three per team. Two-way contracts were created in the 2017 collective bargaining agreement as a vehicle for teams to develop younger players. It has been seen as a success, as it's become a route to players earning long-term homes in the league, and in several cases becoming major contributors.

Some of the biggest success stories to emerge from the two-way pipeline include: Austin Reaves and Alex Caruso with the Los Angeles Lakers; Duncan Robinson and Max Strus with the Miami Heat; Anthony Lamb with the Warriors; Jose Alvarado with the New Orleans Pelicans; and Luguentz Dort with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Bobby Marks contributed to this report.

I think there should be a better incentive for the tournament. Maybe a guaranteed play-in spot if they continue the play-in or a guaranteed top 4 seeding if the team makes the playoffs or something like that.

This is true I'm listening now

How? I haven’t read anywhere in the reporting that you’ll get punished for drafting well …whats being reported is that this restricts teams that are well over the luxury tax from using salary cap exceptions to sign veteran free agents

look at this angry blogger

In season tournament?!

You guys keep saying this but march madness has clearly proven people are interested in such a tournament. And with the addition of gambling, the viewership can be there.

"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"


I DID IT.

fukk injuries hurting your chances. That's life. fukk conditions. Play half a season and still get ALL NBA??? nikka please.

Play 65 games or don't get ALL-NBA and MVP. This load mgmt goofiness is pathetic.

This is true I'm listening now

And when you think about it ..the issue just isn’t that big of a deal anymore like it was 15 years ago …players are getting paid in college now …players can go and get paid in the G-league now …it’s less of a argument to be made from a labor restriction or moral perspective in 2023 …definitely doesn’t appear to be anything worth seriously arguing over from either side

Also did Draymond go to any of the NBPA meetings to negotiate or is he playing Monday morning QB on Twitter after the fact? Did he even vote bc it seems like he’s learning this info for the first time

Silver is the one who wants to lower the draft age. As you said teams don’t like having to go to scout high schoolers and players don’t want the locker rooms to get younger
