:leon: CP3/Bron 2016 getting this done already

Among the principles in agreement, the NBA’s Basketball Related Income (BRI) split will remain unchanged in a new agreement, league sources said. The players receive a share in the range of 49 to 51 percent of the current BRI.

The NBA will raise rookie-scale, veteran minimum and free-agent exception deals in the new agreement, league sources said. Rises in those salaries could come in the 50 percent range over current numbers, sources said.

The NBA will keep its “one-and-done” rule with college basketball, retreating on its original desire to make college players wait two years after high school graduation to become eligible for the NBA draft, league sources said. Two-way contracts between the NBA and NBA Development League will offer teams the chance to add 16th and 17th roster spots, and pay players differently based upon their assignments in either the league’s minor league or as part of the parent team, league sources said.

It's about fukking time. Keep these dudes from going overseas and allows teams to bring over their draft and stash guys to develop them themselves.

Hopefully the pay is right.

They should have at least 5 development slots.

if klay isnt getting enough touches he WILL jack up shots as soon as he touches it. he doesnt give a fukk who doesnt like it. right now id say draymond is the one whose numbers will drop......and i think he would actually be the one to low key be disgruntled. he hasnt reached his prime as a scorer and hasnt proven to people what hes capable of on that end, and now its never going to happen. steph, klay, and KD all will jack up shots to get theirs, but draymond doesnt have that type of green light.

Smart teams will force Draymond to have and play like he does have that greenlight, at the expense of the team.

the pay will never match up. Teams will still draft and stash simply because in many cases they have to.

I know but in theory I would like it to change. Owners don't want to have to pay for 5 more contracts.

I just want a real farm system. The D-League is like the lonely mutated orphan trapped in the attic version of what the MLB has. :mjcry:
