    First Take

    There’s a lot more factors other than talent though on why players get paid max even if they aren’t the best

    yeah that factor is the artificial price ceiling imposed by the CBA

    you have enormously talented players like Westbrook being treated like a step child cause he's on big money

    like its terrible for the product if the most economical thing for teams to do is dump his contract on some s***ty franchise that's actively trying to lose

    Like if the bucks were a perennial 35-45 win team I wouldn’t blame Giannis at all. That’s not the case tho ofc

    supermax is just another distortion to prop up small markets

    it's the opposite sort of reform the league needs

    so what’s ur suggestion

    reconceiving the waive and stretch provision might be something cause rn there's almost no cap incentive for teams to use it

    a lot of the CBA is protecting the pockets of owners masquerading as protecting parity imo

    like if

    • the team wants out of the contract

    • the player wants out of the contract

    • all other teams would value that player's services on lower wages

    • the fans want to watch him play meaningful basketball

    then the machinery of the league shouldn't prevent all the involved parties from getting what they want

    rn it does
