The new CBA is changing the way teams build their rosters. Here's what league insiders are saying about the NBA's march toward parity.
We already have parity. We've had 9 different teams make the NBA finals since the last CBA was signed 7 years ago. And we've had first time wins by the Raptors and Nuggets. Bucks had their first championship in 50 years. Bucks and Nuggets are also small market teams.
Will the new CBA maintain or increase parity? It's possible, but this shit always has unintended consequences. If it were up to me I would have only made minor changes to this CBA and seen if the parity would continue instead of what the NBA agreed to. I don't think the drastic changes were necessary. I think we'll see a lot less player movement with the new CBA which will make the off-season much less interesting.
Nuggets legend Austin Rivers had some interesting things to say about the unintended side effects of the new CBA
I agree. They should not have rocked the boat too much. I feel that officiating is a more urgent concern.
I think the fact that players like Jaylen brown can demand the same as Steph curry just shows how the CBA is going to fuck over most NBA players
