It sounds like an educated speculation, nothing more.
The new NBA TV deal make that every NBA contract will now have a decreasing structure compared to cap percentage:
- Salary cap will raise by 10% each year.
- Max raise in a contract is 8% of the first year.
For a 5 years contract, the player's salary will raise by 32% over the course of his contract while the cap will raise by 46.4% in that period.
When you combine the constant rise of the cap with a flat or decreasing salary, it allows teams to create some huge future flexibility.
Spurs did that with Devin Vassell extension:
- In 2024/2025, his salary will be 20.9% of the cap.
- In 2027/2028, his salary will be 13.1% of the cap.
One fascinating element to this is whether or not certain players will prefer shorter-term max deals to long-term max contracts. There is a big injury gamble at stake, but a Top-5 player could make more by doing successive 1+1 (player options) for the max, especially 10 year+ veterans who can sign 35% max deals. Most guys would prefer the security of the long term deal, but it will be interesting to watch.
Boston going deep into 2nd apron territory.
Current owner getting the out there before those tax bills & other restrictions come into play.
Too bad our swap with them is 2028 and not 20131. They are going to crash hard once their firsts start getting frozen and moved to #30 overall.
The freezes start in 20131 from here on out I believe.
lol yeah considered by who? Wannabe sauces
Chuck Miketinac and Don Harris
This is wanna-be journalism at its peak. I've posted more based speculation on this board. Shameless.The Spurs should still be active on the trade market with Brooklyn's Cam Johnson considered to be a possible target.
San Antonio would likely dangle Keldon Johnson and draft compensation in trade talks to further upgrade the roster around victor Wembanyama this season.
All any of us need is a InsertNameNBA twitter handle and we too can be insider journos! Eric Zhang, watch out!
An interesting development on the business side of the league.
Would be great if TNT keeps NBA broadcasting rights. Can‘t imagine watching the NBA without Inside
Some interesting reading on this. Apparently the league wants (and likely wrote the Amazon deal to accomplish this) more streaming options and to start moving away from cable-based packaged. Apparently the NBC deal includes this. To "match", the TNT offer likely includes a streaming component (Max?). I've heard rumors of some streaming services consolidating services via joint venture, so maybe that is baked into TNT's matching as well. Some speculation even that TNT's match may eventually end up funneling through Amazon.
But agree, saving Inside would be the most important component of this... though Chuck has already said he is retiring. Wonder if he'll stick with that if TNT keeps the rights.
Chuck will stick around for the right $$$
I hate Inside and hope the NBA is able to keep TNT out of the new TV deal.
So we finally get to put a face on the name
And then you say you aren't a contrarian.
I wouldn't say I hate Inside the NBA because it is funny but I also find it to be super overrated in general because it's entire purpose is comedy and there is zero actual insight or analysis on that show. It's pretty obvious that they don't watch basketball when it's not on the night their show is on and they constantly spout tired cliches and tropes. With Barkley retiring after the next season what's the point anyway. Hope Amazon finds a way to keep the deal.
Inside is good. But it'd be even better without Shaq. They also need to stop inviting Draymond. I really hope Dray doesn't become a regular after his retirement. If that were to happen, then I'd agree with you 100%.
