I don't mind the 3 year contracts, but I don't want to see them put in a hard cap.

I don't see how this is going to affect the current crop of superstars. By the time the new CBA is done with, they would've already signed their new contracts and extensions. It's the Kevin Durants, OJ Mayos, and Chris Pauls etc (essentially the next crop of stars) that are going to be affected by this .. All you have to do is think back to this CBA and Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, and Juwan Howard's contracts that were signed before it went into effectOriginally Posted by prodigalson11
Next CBA (current one ends after next season) you will have your wish. Hard cap, no guaranteed contracts longer than 3 yrs (you will be able to sign for longer, but they can be voided after 3). The Kobe/Bron/Wade type stars wont make much more than $8MM/yr. Change is coming.Originally Posted by xblker47

NBA needs to get ride of any contract over three years of length. Dudes get paid and fat once and never care again.

Kings fans like me are hoping for a legit big man like Okafor. Not Dwight Howard. The trade deadline is not the last chance the Kings will get anything good from a trade. It is quite the opposite. If Martin proves to everyone that he can stay healthy for the rest of the season, the Kings will not be disadvantaged in trying to trade an injured Martin before this trade deadline. He is not at 100% right now.Originally Posted by SenorRoboto2k5
I'm not the one who doesn't realize this. They should've traded him a long time ago, but all the Kings management and fans have generally been regarding this guy as the next Dwyane Wade or something. The upcoming deadline is pretty much the last time the Kings can get anything of value for him (not that they'd be getting close to a starting big man like they'd want)... otherwise I'd bet a lot of teams would sour on him after watching what he does to this team through the end of the season. If I were them, I'd try to get some deal like Martin for Hinrich and Tyrus Thomas, or some combination of players that are trying to get moved. Someone like Hinrich would play off Tyreke Evans a lot better than Martin.Originally Posted by nicedudewithnicedreams
That is pretty obvious man. What do you expect from a team that won 17 games last year? Tyreke Evans is the real deal, but it will take more than 1 season for the Kings to be even near the OKC and Memphis teams...Originally Posted by SenorRoboto2k5
The Kings need to trade Kevin Martin though. He's just not a good fit for the rest of his teammates. Plus they should trade him while his value is still at its highest, because even if these guys play together, they still won't be at an elite level.
And what is he doing to the Kings? Do I seriously need to defend Kevin Martin until the end of time? The problem with the Kings as a team is not Kevin Martin. Sure, he is not perfect, but he is not the main reason why the Kings have been struggling. Please refer to an earlier post in this thread where I explain just what the Kings need to have in order to be around a .500 team again.
The Hinrich and Thomas trade was brought up already. However, it was for K9 and Noc. LOL.
That is correct, sir.Originally Posted by chicksNkicks

I read on espn that players contracts will be modified to fit the new CBA agreement EVEN if the sign their deals before it is actually put into play.. Its about to get realll ugly
It all goes back to the fact that the majority of NBA teams are losing tons of money right now. I think the NBAPA would have a much easier fight if the NBA was raking in $ like the NFL is, but that's just not the case right now.Originally Posted by fac3 tak30v312
Hmm .. that makes no sense at all .. You had guys with complete albatross of a contract last CBA and they slid by .. Well I guess all we could do is wait and see since it's all speculative right now .. Also if that holds out to be true it makes this offseason all that more interesting
One would assume that once it turns back around and the margins start increasing the players would bring the issue back to the table when the next CBA expires in 2017.Originally Posted by fac3 tak30v312
Yeah I know and understand all of that but, all I could think of right now is Shaq getting his extension in right before the CBA being up, Juwann's 10 year 200 mil contract and KG making 25 mill a year but mainly Juwann's since there was an outcry to getting his contract voided .. My only problem with all of this is what happens when things turn around .. For example they want to lower the player's profit sharing percentage and drastically decrease their contract [hmm come to think of don't by decreasing their profit sharing percentage doesn't that automatically decrease the size of their contract] .. so what happens when profit margins increase do they give back some of what they've taken or just keep it all like what the NFL does
