Cause role players and team chemistry are important also the fit is important

As a european, sometimes it is strange looking at a NBA roster. Here we build teams for heavy rotations. Usually teams have 12 strong players that devide the minutes between them, and in any game, any player can be the difference maker. Most players don't play 30 minutes out of 40. NBA is more focused in acquiring stars. I understand that is very good for selling jerseys, but then you have 3 starts playing with below average players. The Bulls are paying less then 10M for Alex Caruso. I would like to see a team building a roster with 12-13 Alex Caruso type players. I think it would be a fun experiment.

I tend to glaze over when the details of the CBA come up but you managed to keep me engaged. Some of these rules are pretty ingenious. Thanks for the clear explanations.

It's a great video, but this is pretty dense information, and it would have been easier to follow (for me, at least) with some data on the screen. Keep making great videos!

Building through the draft and allowing players to evolve their personal game while also building team chemistry without the WIN NOW mindset will be the new wave

Not being able to trade picks 7 years out is saving teams from themselves. Lol.

FYI the suns can trade their 2031 pick. According to bobby marks that trade rule kicks in at the end of the 24/25 season. The league wanted to give teams sometime to adjust to it

It all came crashing down when teams stopped hoarding players and started to actually play basketball

In other words, don't spend like drunken sailors, develop your own talent, and you should be just fine.

Tbh, the playoffs are better now that these clowns are eliminated. Now, we get young teams that have killer mentalities instead of the divas of the 2010s.

I’ll tell you why. It’s because the NBA is the only league where they let the players play the role of GM. Look at Kawhi for instance. He tells the Clippers who he wants on the team, who to trade, etc. Lebron, KD, they all do it. Players recruit one another in the offseason and tell their respective teams who to sign and who to trade for. The NBA is notorious for it. It has gotten out of hand.

It's not the CBA per se -- it's that the top salaries are just disproportionate to the salary cap. Yes, I personally think superstars who ought to win should forego $10 million a year (they'll still make plenty) to guarantee that their supporting cast will be strong, but that's a separate issue. The league has made it so that superstars, on average, are detrimental to roster health. It's a little stupid. BUT, also, keep in mind that a lot of GMs want to make money more than they want to win, and even having a fragile superstar who won't get you into the playoffs might sell more tickets over the season than a no-superstar team that makes it to the second round.

Ageing superstars are a poison chalice, especially on high salaries.

Those analytics guys focused on offense. They figured defense from a top team wasn’t that different from a bottom team. I’m the 90s you didn’t get one the floor if you couldn’t play defense. The ability to score certain ways however made a difference. So what did players do? They focused on what the geniuses were telling everyone and getting paid. Now, the reserve has happened. Everyone is a shooter in today’s league but the teams that play excellent defense are shining.

They are trying to buy a championship instead of competing for one.

grayson allen signed a 17.5 per contract which makes the salary cap even worse

What you said about the Suns going into next season is incorrect. They signed Grayson Allen to an extension so he will be making close to 17 million next season. It isn't just Nurkic making a good chunk of change after the big three.

Insane amount of money man😂

Sixers would be on this list if they offer Paul George something close to the max .

It's a win for everybody besides middle class players and some "star" players. We as viewers will get to see more competitive games and more so owners will see more profit because the game will be more entertaining, meaning more interest. Players tho... they get the "short end" of the stick (still getting paid millions 🙄) because some players will believe they're worth more than what they're precieved and some may cause problems for teams, making team more reluctant to pay more money to players.

Sixers did not have home court advantage …

Those teams are "failing" because they didn't have good coaches or coaches that fit the teams. I have no idea why Phoenix hired Frank Vogel when he hasn't shown that he can coach a team well on offense. Also why are teams only looking at coaches under contract or coaches that were just fired? Why don't they try to get coaches like Mark Jackson, Mike Woodson, Kenny Atkinson or even Mike D'Antoni...who would likely work in Phoenix with 3 stars who can score. Mark Jackson would be a better option though because of D'Antoni's lack of defense. The Lakers could go for Mark Jackson or Mike Woodson too. Also why aren't these teams getting centers who can defend or finish at the rim or point guards that can get players the ball in their sweet spots and draw defenders as they cut to the rim then kick the ball out? That's what the Timberwolves and the Knicks realized. The Suns and the Lakers can go out and get those types of players whether in the G League, overseas, out of teams' rotations or coming off the bench. If they want guys in the league, I would tell Phoenix to get 2 of these guys: Quentin Grimes, Caris LeVert, Andre Drummond, Immanuel Quickley, Jericho Sims, Precious Achiwua or Jonas Valanciunas. The Lakers should get 2 of these guys: Jericho Sims, Quentin Grimes, Caris LeVert, Immanuel Quickley, Kelly Oubre Jr., Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, Collin Sexton, Keldon Johnson, Precious Achiwua, JaVale McGee or Marcus Smart. These 2 teams don't need much to improve. Both of them also need more shooters. They can move role players to get them. If Gabe Vincent is still good after his last injury, maybe he can do better on the Lakers next season though.

They don’t have patience in developing players who are drafted so they trade for old heads who end up being trash year after year.

I think you’re being unfair to the GSW. They paid their stars who are home-grown, have given them so much success, and are loyal. They built their team the right way instead of simply hunting for already-superstar players (the Durant thing was in the past, and you’re referring to the present time period so that doesn’t count).

The reason all these big teams are failing because you need more than just one or two players three players to win you need a team you can have the ball of your contest going to three or three players and then span or cross board and win for a long-term This is where the LeBron James style doing things doesn’t work in a long term.

There was allways at least one dynasty in the NFL... before and after the cap rules. The Patriots were a dynasty for 20 years throughout the 2000's and 2010's, now the Chiefs are in the 2020's. Other teams won 1 or 2 championships over that timespan, but the Patriots still dominated overall, the same way the Chiefs do now. And I dont get why thats bad. It has nothing to do with jealousy, but with fairness. I wanna see a OKC dynasty where they win 3 titles in 5 years, or an Orlando dynasty. Just to name the 2 very young PO teams in both conferences. How about another Spurs dynasty around a generational big? Or a Luka/Dallas dynasty? Dynasties will and can still happen, the teams will just be built differently. Over the draft and with more consistency. 2010-14 Heat will not happen anymore, or 2008 Celtics. And thats a good thing. And (hopefully) older stars will understand one thing. If they want to compete late in their careers... they have to take paycuts. Make your money (while trying to win) in your 20's, take lesser and lesser money in your 30's to compete late in your career. Why does 39 years old Lebron still need a 50 Mio contract? Dude is worth 1.2 billion right now! Him on a 20 mio contract and the Lakers would have way better chances. Or Durant? Signed a Max contract at 34... sign a 50/2 deal and either the Nets, or now the Suns, would be in WAY better positions building around hm!

Just show u these billionaires and millionaires failed to predict future performance. Failures all of them. Had they hired me or someone with the skills we would have did a Process Capability Index analysis and got the results and known this would happen well before it happened and prevented it. That’s why you have Process Capability Index. To predict future performance through validation previous results. Each team failed, Warriors, Lakers and Suns. That’s not a coincidence. Had I been the owner of the Warriors Joe Lacob, Peter Gruber, Mike Dunleavy Jr and Steve Kerr would all be terminated. When shit falls down hill it started at the top first. After that players would be pulled in 1x1 to discuss expectations moving forward and that for the time being the Offensive coach would be the interim coach for now. I would walk into the manager quarters and verify Joe, Peter, Steve and Mike were packing up. After they out the building structure, leadership and authority is in the building.
