Was that A big issue before the new cba? How does that help teams without superstars bring in ticket revenue or become a playoff team ?? It doesn't breh only in football can you suddenly go from the basement to playoff contender in a season really ( barring drafting a instant lebron like talent but even then he didn't do it first season ) . The nba doesn't work like that
By forcing you to have to do something.
U dont see my post. I cosigned by said only the celtics have done it recently.
True . But what I'm saying is the new cba didn't change the real problems , the NBA has always been about superstars or the best managed teams . This isn't baseball where the worst division winner can get to the championship or in the nfl where a wildcard wins a sb. The owners bamboozled people acting as if superstars changing teams were destroying the league
yet see those heat ratings they'll use to get better tv contracts or they'll use the big market teams to sell those platinum level ticket packages
The new CBA does help small market teams more since you're have these bigger market teams unable or worrying about signing guys and paying the luxury tax penalties up to an extent. Look at how the Knicks can't really sign anyoneGood to see this new CBA helping the small markets out.
but people still won't care , al Jefferson doesn't bring in anyone to the box office but the chance of getting a first pick by sucking might. That just made the veteran players happy that they will still get paid whether they deserve the money or not
The Knicks already have melo chandler and amare . The Knicks have a top 5-10 player though so your point is really nonexistent . How does this help the bobcats ? Or the thunder ? The thunder are a successful franchise worried about the damn luxury tax . The knicks will resign players and say damn the tax when push comes to shove same with the lakers . The nba goes in cycles the Knicks celtics and bulls were bad for years you can't force parity in a league with only like 15 difference making players . You can't force lebron or cp3 or melo or anyone like that to sign with small market teams the cba can never fix that
We suddenly went from a basement team to a playoff contender breh. Within 2 years we went from a basement team to a team that I feel will be contending for a title next season. It's all about management which is what I told @tremonthustler1 months ago. If your team's management is smart your team will thrive regardless of market. The Orlando Magic were smarter than the Lakers, Nuggets and 76ers which is why they came out on top of the Howard/Bynum/Iggy trade. If the Lakers were smart as Orlando they would've moved Bynum for Vucevic knowing then what we know now.
You've got people saying that MIA will break up the big 3 because they won't be able to afford all three, so a big market team might not automatically resign players. Al Jefferson (albeit not a superstar) might not sign with the Bobcats if better bigger market teams were not caution in their money.
