Remember when the CBA was supposed to prevent super teams

Well the main thing was a more punishing luxury tax which we've seen. Will the Warriors keep Draymond and keep paying the repeater tax?

They were only able to get KD because Steph was on a 4 year $44M contract and he signed it in 2012 because of his ankles and missing a lot of games..

That's the thing. The warriors are mostly home grown. Without Curry's ankle injuries they never could have afforded Durant. The CBA has been very effective at stopping teams from just buying every free agent out there.

It just cheats fans in small markets because the owners there are obviously too cheap for the big stage.




OKC:mjlol:
Your thread is :trash:
Cavs is a small market team and look at their payroll since bron been back. And if you draft right like the warriors you an create your own superteam no matter what the market is.

Also the owners voting against cap snoothing when the new contract money kicked in from the TV networks. So GS had cap room to get Durant. Normally he'd have to take a massive paycut to sign there.

Nah they still could have made it work

Currrys ankle got him 4 years 44 mil instead of 5 years 75 mil right?

They would have had to move someone, but they would have kept the core of Curry/Klay/Draymond still

The problem was the cap jumping by like 40 mil in one summer

If they would have spread it out over 3 years then Durant doesn't happen

This new CBA stopped teams from getting stuck in those long ass terrible contracts by shortening contracts overall. This gave teams more flexibility to sign and trade players like Pokemon cards without committing 6-7 years to a player. Multiple bad contracts on a team doesn't drown it for a decade anymore like it used to. Now it takes a team 2-4 years to cycle into a good cap situation.
