New? Idea to destroy NBA Super Teams

[IrateMastermind]

If this thread or idea was already created, my bad... If it ain't the pistons, lions or wolverines I don't be in the coliseum like that.

For those that say the NBA needs to break up the super teams tell me why this wouldn't work.

Every team gets to offer one blank check deal to any player they want when they become a free agent.

It doesn't count against the cap. If you want to offer KD 1 billion over 5 years, you can.

You can't trade a player with a uncapped deal to a team that has a player on a uncapped deal unless you're trading for the player on an uncapped deal or the team hasn't used theirs.

You don't have to use this tool if you don't want to.

Because of this uncapped deal the salary cap will be lowered (people way smarter than me can come up with those figures).

I'm not arguing whether or not the league needs parity. That's another discussion for another thread.

Yes, I understand this doesn't guarantee super teams wouldn't be created. Everyone on the warriors could agree to play for league minimums and that would be their choice.

My logic behind this is the punishment for creating a super team would be severe if you're truly a great player.

I'm sure KD, Curry and Klay would all be candidates for this uncapped deal. They'd really have to love playing with each other to accept a 20 million per deal while passing up 40,50... 200 million per to play in Orlando or Sacramento.

Nah we don't need parody we have the NCAA for that

*Parity

At the rate teams trade players, to get "max" players, only for that player to leave and the team be without the player and whatever they gave up to get the player, superteams will sort themselves out in about 3 years...

Everyone would need to be unrestricted free agents at the same time for this to work

I never liked the idea of salaries not counting against the cap

If team A has Durant as their best player and team b has Gordon Hayward as their best, team b should have more cap room to compensate

I have no problem with "super teams"
It makes no sense to me that you have some many "fans" that want to keep money in rich white billionaire owners hands, especially on a supposedly black majority site.

The main reason the max salary was instituted was to reign in salaries and provide cost certainty. So they would never agree to the uncapped deal. Teams will take the Warriors running shyt as long as they are getting their cut of the billions from the TV deal. Teams aren't trying to have to think and work and mid tier players aren't trying to be paid like it.

 

[Momentum]

Keep the salary cap get rid of max contracts. Let a true open market market determine everyone's worth.

Damn I was gonna say the same but with the Knicks.

I'd reduce the luxury tax rate back to 1:1 on top of a true open market for stars.
I'd let team that draft a player be able to sign him to a max cap hit of 32 mil as well per year for those selected players, this would help small smarket teams truly compete.

Stopped reading right there.

You are telling Billionaire owners to offer blank check deals?

 

[triplehate]

Nah we good with super teams b

 

[IrateMastermind]

So many people missed the point of the thread. I'm not saying we don't need them.

For those that say we don't need them create a system that is better than the one that exists and the he one I just created.

I don't get how that's a bad thing. Especially not for the players.

I don't see how players getting uncapped deals is putting money in owners pockets.

The league just needs to figure out how to make it possible to have multiple super super teams in both conferences. This is the era of the super super team. You need like 4+ all stars and/or near all stars to compete for a championship now. 3 might not cut it anymore.

If you have multiple super super teams, it can be an all out war between those teams. Everyone else is just for entertainment and nothing more. The first round would suck but the second round, third round, and finals could be lit.
