Why do the salaries have to match when making trades in the NBA?

[Kayla Fortenberry]

because we dont want the lakers being the yankees of basketball

 

[Joe Sixpack]

The same incentive there always is: the fact that some other team would offer more. If there was no cap, instead of worrying about the 4 or 5 teams with cap space, you'd have to worry about 29 other teams possibly outbidding you.

Who cares???

It's Javale McGee.. No cap and that dude would be gettin what he's worth..

 

[Majestic Pape]

If there was no cap bum nikkas like Javale Mcgee would not be gettin 5yr/50million dollar deals..

Yeah, they'd be getting 5 years/100 million instead.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Its sports..

You will always have garbage, bottom feeding teams and 3 or 4 title contenders..

Thats the way it's always been and always will be.

Why would a team give Javale McGee 84 million, B?

Seriously?

Why?

Why would a team give Jason Werth $100 mil? Teams make dumbass signings with a cap you think they would somehow be smarter and more cautious without one?

Your missing the point or. You breh
Lets look at say Dwight the lakers could offer 5/200 , then the mavs go 6/250
The prices go up because everyone bidding
FTBs you already explained it perfectly if he doesn't get it then he a
All he had to do is look at the bidding wars that would happen there would be like 5 teams left lol there isn't enough talent in basketball like football / baseball . Teams works be giving kwame like 20 mil just to be competitive

I don't think there should be a cap in the NBA..

Even in the "golden age" of the 80s you had bad teams and only like 5 teams with legit chances to win titles.

"Joe Sixpack" is a very appropriate name for you.

It is easy when you are under the cap. It's only complicated when you are over the cap. Gotta have a cap in order to keep shyt from getting completely out of control. want the Lakers with CP3, Kobe, Bron, Dirk, Bynum and a payroll of $150 mil taking on the Knicks with Deron, Wade, Durant, Bosh, Howard with their own $150 mil payroll every year? You gotta make teams at least have to put some work into it. I am all for "superteams" but even those teams are limited by the cap and that is necessary in basketball.

Trades under the cap are sumer but when the cap is only $58m and avg player salary is like 7m, you're hard pressed to even be under the cap unless u wanna be team status.
