He's assisting more, is better in the post and has improved his jump shot and free throws every season. also this: http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/10/boris-diaw-can-make-an-extra-500000-by-not-gaining-weight-this-season/ | ||

Too bad about Durant. Intrigued to see what Westbrook's usage rate is without KD. | ||

Just like in the max contract debate it is just redistributing the same amount of money amongst players. In fact, even the salary cap of each team is meaningless with regards to the owners vs. players. The only things that matter in the actual negotiation (and the owners win them because they know this) is the revenue split, and what types of income get counted as part of said split. All the things like salary cap, max contracts, salary floors, revenue sharing, etc are all just debates either between different classes of owners or between different classes of players. TLDR: Article is wrong about the basics, and is just an idiot saying things that would make redditors get angry. | ||

Without guarantees you can just cut players at any point once they stop producing at a certain level. You can turn a 20/4 into a 3/1 and save money that way. Remember owners don't have to spend all of the money by the cap  That part isn't solely about the money but about job security. | ||
