New talking point.
Why guys not getting paid ****. Most famous superstars in the world. Getting pittance compared to their value to the team. Guys like Bron and Steph should be getting blank checks.

The problem with the NBA is that the rank and file get paid way too much. The stars are underpaid. LeBron should be making at least $50 million/year, if not $75 million. At least NBA stars can easily supplement it with endorsements.
NFL superstars aka QBs get paid a **** ton but to the point dmbrhs alluded to, the NFL also has a hard cap. If Bron, Steph, Giannis, etc were to get blank checks then the league median salary would drop something crazy. In the NBA, everybody eats.
NFL gets 6 billion annually from their TV deal with far less games
NBA gets 2.7 billion annually from their TV deal
If they can't pay a star more than X dollars, they have to throw that money at someone else who is undeserving.

They don’t HAVE to throw that money at someone else, though. They just choose to and that’s why bad teams stay bad.
I guess it would stop dudes from teaming up, though?
Magic tweets def his own words/opinions...Yo just summons somebody with a $100 bill to type it out for himWell this ruins everything. Midas whale not post it in here anymore.
Trump better not ever say somebody types his **** for him. We need some honest true genuine foolishness.

They kind of do, though. The new CBA increased the cap floor to 90%. Teams had money to spend, and had to hit a higher threshold. If you can't pay a star more than a certain amount, you gotta spend it elsewhere. Hence, the new wave of dumb contracts signed since. Owners can't get get out of their own way on this stuff. It's a new decade, but nothing has changed. I fully expect another wave of amnesties in the next CBA. At least they're not handing out 7-year, $120-million deals anymore.
Ahhh I didn’t consider the floor. Great call. I still don’t think that means you have to give out long-term deals that would require being amnestied in the future but I certainly stand corrected. Thank you for pointing that out.
Don't think it will be that bad.Amnesties was a bit of an exaggeration. But, there will be problems in the next CBA, mainly due to "player empowerment" era stuff. I can see owners putting the clamps on trade requests (forfeiting portions of salaries), minimum contract lengths (no one and ones with a player option). It's going to get really ugly.
