    I'd bet Larry Coon knows the salary cap as well as any GM.

    I'm not against Super Teams. I love a free market. I question the mindset of the players chasing rings, but as a Laker fan, I want every stud FA coming to LA.

    Contracts like those that Lebron and Durant should not be available to them.

    One year + Player option.

    I think in order to qualify for a player option, it should be two years so that players can't hold free agent markets hostage.

    Team options are fine, but that type of contact has allowed players to manipulate their contracts more easily to build super teams year by year.

    I love that last bit about having 2 D League contract roster spots. That will allow us to keep a few Intriguing players rather than risk them being picked up by another team.

    Also, think about how all of this is coming together. It's like this CBA is made to allow us to keep home grown talent (which I was worried about), while adding just a few pieces to the team. In about 4 years, we will be in prime position to take over the west when the Warriors start their decline.

    i hate RFA. is there a single sensible argument in favor of it? the home team already has a big advantage salary and years-wise, why add this bizarre rider to that in some cases? it results in either a) unfairly depressed contracts for the player or b) absolutely insane offers for the player (e.g., crabbe). anyone know the reason for this monstrosity?

    It ensures that no matter what, the player cannot leave if the team wants it to stay. It gives teams planning certainty. This can be a big deal in some cases.

    Home town advantage. With drafting so young, and spending the first 4 years developing the player, they wanted the option to hang onto the player for longer to actually get value for their efforts.

    The only way I see that going away is if they raise the draft age back to 21 or 22

    It's probably earlier than that in its roots. Everyone wants protectionist policies as far back as history books go.

    as another has said, it gives the home team a chance to keep the players they drafted.

    unfortunately, the market determines how much a player gets, not the type of contract.

    yes, insane offers do come in, but that's how the game is played. if a team values that player, they would make the offer ahead of time so that they can prove their loyalty and force the hand of teams to think about making that type of offer..see Jordan Clarkson.

    otherwise, those smaller market/low tier teams would just lose out on their star players in a matter of 3-4 years.
