Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

The only positive is the fact that you can't S&T when your in the luxury tax.

That may not be in the final deal. Players hated that. Its a non factor though. There were only 5 S&T by tax teams in the last CBA.

Person in the room assures me that no agreement has been reached. They're about to hit the five-hour mark here in New York.

Source in the room on Checketts: "100 percent false.

Wouldn't be surprised if Dave Checketts is right. Just a little premature, bc there's no deal yet.

I've already explained that a 50/50 BRI split would put the cap this season in the high 50s and the lux tax in the low 70s. Not much of a change at all.

What you fail to understand - and many here - is that the increase in revenue doesn't come from all 30 teams equally.

What most small market teams will see is: their revenue is stagnant, the BRI keeps exploding, the cap keeps growing up, even if they have the chance of having a contender due to good drafting they won't be able to go into tax territory and it'll be tougher to keep star players because salary will be less important relatively to endorsements and quality of life in big markets.

That's why this won't solve nothing for small-market teams and, by making serious revenue sharing an impossibility, as it'll make things okay for a few middle-class teams, it creates an alliance that screws them. That's why small markets owner can't like this deal.

As for why the super luxury tax is worse for small market teams than the current one, read this post, as it's perfectly explained there:

To clarify, my source is involved in the negotiations and, thus, will be most cautious about jumping the gun even if it's heading that way

Yeah I didn't say it was a great rule just the only pro small market one. What's on the table as far as the Bird rules?

No way the players reject this deal and I think Stern has the votes. He wouldnt agree to it if he didnt have the votes.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

Wonder how long it'll actually last if there is a deal. I don't think either side is going to be happy and eventually it'll go wrong.
